Hall of Fame Speaker

When YOU Are the Business
Saturday, September 7

9:00am – Noon

CO-HATCH

Mark LeBlanc, CSP, CPAE is known for his approach to business development, based on his first book, Growing Your Business. He is a CSP and was inducted into the Minnesota Hall of Fame in 2006. In fact, he is a newly minted, 2023 Hall of Fame CPAE speaker having been inducted this past July.

Little does anyone know that Mark was ready to throw in the towel on the elusive, keynote speaking side of his career until a turning point in the summer of 2014. That defining moment led to a banquet speech in Nashville six months later that he will say, “…was the best speech of my career even to this day.”

Find out what he did and how it could help you turn up the volume in your keynote speaking career. He will also shine a light on what you need to know and what you want to do in elevating your speaking career and grow your little empire.
