Welcome to Speaker’s Life

Welcome to Speaker’s Life

Hey there!

Welcome to the Speaker’s Life Blog! My name is Ernest Barbaric and I’ve been a professional speaker for about 4 years now. By now, I’ve spoken to thousands of people at about 150 events of all sizes. From a tiny little town called Oyen in the middle of rural Alberta, as part of an economic development conference, to New York at an international marketing conference.

The journey to this point has been both exciting and nerve-wracking with some great highs and crippling lows, and I believe it’s just getting started. So, my plan with this blog is to share all that with you, the wins, the fails and the lessons learned along the way with the hope you find it valuable in your own life and business.

The topics we are going to cover here include:

  • Presentation Design and Delivery
  • Marketing and Promotion for Professional Speakers
  • The Business of Speaking
  • Useful apps and technology
  • Book and Gear Reviews

We’ll toss in a few personal stories and anecdotes that will either provide you with valuable insights or hopefully a good chuckle. I look forward to our journey together,

 

– Ernest.
