Month: April 2015

Being a global keynote speaker might arguably be the best job in the world.

Think about it.

You get (highly) paid to travel the world to live in some of the best hotels in the world. And you are also able to attend large conferences (for free) where you get to learn about the latest trends from the world’s leading experts. Working side by side these experts means you often get a chance to chat one-on-one with them behind the scene.

And when it is your turn to work (for one hour or less), you get to stand on a stage in front of hundreds or thousands of people who give you warm and intense appreciation when you are done.

Yes, being a professional keynote speaker is a dream job if ever there was one.

By starting this blog, I hope to inspire others to join this amazing line of work by sharing some “behind-the-scenes” stories of what it is actually like to travel the world and speak.

I will write these posts while on the road to give an instant and authentic portrayal of what this job entails.

There are a lot of resources online on how to become a better speaker. There are also many professional speakers who will teach you how to develop the business side of speaking, usually for a fee. But there are not so many places online where you can learn how to become a better professional speaker – for FREE!

I have started this blog to share my approach to being a global professional speaker.

At the core of this approach is my belief that to run a successful, global, speaking business, you should focus much more on the “speaking” side of your business than the “business” side of things.

Personally, I spend much more time thinking about how to develop myself as a speaker than thinking about how to develop my speaking business. This strategy has made me one of the most successful global speakers of today.

By starting this blog, I hope to have a venue to share my thoughts about what makes speakers – and speeches – great.

I will try to have a good mix of content where I will both share my own experiences of speaking as well as share what I have learnt from other speakers or other speeches.

One of the best ways to learn something is to “tag along” and be a “fly on the wall” and try to absorb as much as you can by observing an expert. In this blog, I will share stories, insights and lessons that I have gained “on the road”.

I hope you will learn from these “real life” examples and that you’ll find them useful.

I look forward to helping you become a better speaker by sharing my journey of always trying develop myself to be the very best speaker I can be.

Fredrik Haren.

There are tens of thousands of professional speakers in the world, but only handfuls have been able to take the step to being global professional speakers.

I have been invited to speak in more than 60 different countries on 5 continents, and have worked full time as a professional keynote speaker and author for more than 15 years.

One of the main purposes of this site is to try to give concrete tips and suggestions – as well as inspiration – on how you can become a global speaker and author too.

Follow this blog, or subscribe to the email list, and you will be learning from one of the best global speakers of today.

To start off, please watch these two different speeches that I have been giving on the theme of being a global keynote speaker.

In this world of instant gratification and short videos, they might look long to you, but I can almost promise that you will find them worth watching if you are serious about becoming a global professional speaker.
