Sun, 23 Nov 2008 22:40:20 +0000
I’d like to take this moment to come out of the closet. I like musicals. Scratch that. I LOVE musicals! It’s cost me many girlfriends, actually. It’s hard to maintain your masculinity when you’re singing “Broadway Baby” to yourself to fall asleep. And, with that, I present my (current) seven favourite musical numbers. Broadway Baby Daisy Eagan You Can’t Stop [...] - Six years old. Pimp. Check it. Westside.

Sun Media, a media powerhouse with 43 paid-circulation and free dailies in Canada’s key urban markets and more than 200 community publications, has charged the CBC with wasteful spending. What, you ain’t the National Post?! Their big beef seems to be that the head of Radio-Canada spent money staying in hotels and rewarding staff with two — [...] - Add my mom to your Twitter!

Just got back from a great coffee with @gillianshaw of the #VancouverSun.

Sat, 15 Nov 2008 23:05:24 +0000
I always make three phone calls to my speaking clients prior to the event: Immediately upon booking (three min): Introduce myself, thank them for booking me, etc. This is just a touch-point to say hi and answer any basic questions they have. I let them know I’ll be calling closer to the event to get the [...] - Tod reviews the 3M MPro110 Mini Projector (0mb)

You’ve just gotten off the podium and, naturally, there’s an enormous lineup forming to meet you. In many cases, people just want to thank you for the presentation or ask you a question or two. Well-intentioned as they may be, this is not the time for you to answer any more than the most basic of [...] - Great news release I received today
Tue, 11 Nov 2008 20:42:39 +0000
Hey Tod, If this email was a TV it would be the new Sharp AQUOS XS1 - less than one inch thick. But if this email was the Sharp AQUOS XS1 it would be the clearest, brightest email you?ve ever seen in Canada. One million to one dynamic contrast ratio, amazing colour depth; simply the most stunning LCD TV available. I?d attach the news release, but that would make this already long message even longer. Instead, here?s a nice photo of the XS1 in profile, to show you what we mean. a Great news release I received today - The Clicks Behind Your Back: Social Networking in the Classroom
Tue, 11 Nov 2008 00:30:37 +0000
Passing notes and cheating on tests have gone high-tech. And unless you’re armed with the latest information about how your students are using social media, you may find yourself with a lot of catching up to do. In this provocative and entertaining keynote presentation, Tod Maffin explains how teachers and school administrators can harness the tools of [...] - Can You Recommend a Retreat Centre?

If you’ve been following this blog, you’ll know I’m writing a detailed e-book on how to become a professional keynote circuit speaker. If you have 45 seconds free, I’d love it if you’d complete this quick survey. You could win a free copy of the book once it’s out.

Okay. You’ve done the pre-event calls (see previous chapter), arrived at the venue, and connected with your on-site client. It’s time to set your audio up for the room. I’m extremely particular (read: anal) about my A/V setup because I know how easy it is for things to go horribly wrong — microphone, unexpected [...] - ProSpeaking: The Pre-Event Call
Mon, 27 Oct 2008 22:06:27 +0000
This is an excerpt from the forthcoming book about how to be a professional keynote speaker, by internationally recognized speaker Tod Maffin. As soon as you get a contract back, you should pick up the phone and call your main client contact. There are a lot of tiny details that will be important for you [...] - ProSpeaking: Flight Tips Your Mother Never Told You

Okay, this post is more about travel than professional speaking, but the two are, obviously, closely related. I’m actually thinking about coming out with a companion Travel Tips from a Pro ebook after this one. I’d love to know if you like the idea.

By far, the single most frequently asked question I’m asked is how to get represented by a speakers’ agency. I was very lucky in my 12-year (and counting!) career in that I was scouted and retained early by one of North America’s top speakers’ agency, The Lavin Agency (Boston, Toronto, and Vancouver).

Hi everyone and thanks for your emails of support and concern. I’m feeling back on the mend again so I’m going to slowly dip my toe back into blogging.
