The Global Speakers Federation, GSF, isn't an organization you can join as an individual member. Its members include professional associations for speakers like the National Speakers Association in the United States (NSA), the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers (CAPS), and others around the world.

The focus of these organizations is not so much on stagecraft, but on the business of speaking.

If you want to grow a speaking or training business without making a lot of mistakes, connect with your country's GSF Association, find a local chapter, and get engaged.

If it weren't for NSA and my local chapter, the Florida Speakers Association, I would have moved on from the speaking business a long time ago.

If you're like me, you'll find friends, mentors, and game-changing strategies. Find your local association at www.globalspeakersfederation.net/speaking associations and get involved. You won't regret it.
