Event planning has evolved dramatically in recent years. Whether you’re organizing a global leadership summit or a small team meeting, chances are you’ve considered both virtual and in-person options — or even a hybrid approach.

But here’s what many planners overlook: the speaker who shines on a big stage isn’t always the same speaker who captivates through a webcam. Each format requires unique skills and traits.

Public speaking today is about more than commanding a stage. It’s about creating a business, building a brand, and crafting a presence that extends well beyond the spotlight. Whether you're just exploring opportunities or are a seasoned professional, every public speaker needs the right tools to thrive.
