ABOUT Canadian Association of Professional Speakers. A professional speaker is a speaker who earns a minimum of $50K through the spoken word to a live audience. Open discussions, but please no marketing of services. RULES This group is for #ProfessionalSpeakers, #Facilitators, #Trainers, #Consultants and all #ExpertsWhoSpeak to ask and answer questions related to the speaking industry. This group is not exclusive to #CAPS members – we want to see the industry as a whole grow and evolve. If you earn a minimum of 50k per year and make your living using the spoken word to a live audience, you are in the right place. So, please post a question or answer a question. No promo posts. We aren't against promotion. This group is a supportive and informational space that focuses on business growth and when your post is purely promotional, no one is listening. Everyone blocks it out. We're here for real conversation. So, no teaching posts, articles, promos, rants, inspirational quotes etc. They’ll get deleted. Keep it conversational.
