Often times, we are helping accomplished speakers get onto bigger stages and land even more paid speaking engagements. Whatever your speaking goal is, the group is designed to help you get their faster through their connections and experience.

ULTIMATE SPEAKERS SHOWCASES SPEAKER STEVEN ERIC CONNOR

 


ULTIMATE SPEAKERS SHOWCASES SPEAKER STEVEN ERIC CONNOR
“Winning and What Shapes Us”


 


CITY, ST, SEPTEMBER 28, 2013 – Many people think they are communicating when in fact, they are simply taking turns talking.   Having more than 26 years of experience in the field of communication, speaker Steven Eric Connor shows that until one connects with another, it’s an illusion to think they’re communicating – he has enlightened thousands of people in teaching The Science and Power of Communication. A gifted International Communication, Relationship & Life Coach, Author and Teacher, Steven Eric Connor specializes in self-awareness, healthy relationships, communication and love. He is the founder and creator of Unconditional Self Empowerment, and the Eyes of Love.


Steven’s presentation, Mastering the 3-Levels of Awareness shows how one’s greatest asset in life and business is effective communication.  He often speaks to groups of Entrepreneurs, Women Business Leaders, Professional Sales Organizations, Parents & Families and Faith Based Organizations teaching them how to speak one another’s communication language.


Steven’s mantra to Coaches, Consultants & Leaders is, “Define yourself based on your vision, not your history; change takes time, breakthroughs happen in an instant!”


Connor is just one of many speakers presented through the Ultimate Speakers Network, an organization that has already generated well over 300 speaking engagements for their speakers.  The Ultimate Speakers Network was designed by speakers for speakers with the purpose of generating more speaking engagements. Its purpose is creating an interactive format that naturally creates collaboration and synergy with speakers by asking speakers “What is missing in your speaking business?”


Once a month our Speaker Showcases such as this one featuring Steven Eric Connor, creates incredible exposure for speakers that allows members to present to an audience of speakers so they can be recommended for more speaking engagements.
