Let's say I have to give a lecture and my career depends on this, for reals. It has to be not just good enough, but fabulous. Let's say further I may not get much notice on the topic and audience or date. I would like to hire whatever the public-speaking equivalent is of a cross between a ghost-writer, an editor, and a coach. I cannot be visibly hiring such a person (i.e. I can't just post on craigslist or something). How do I find and hire this person? How much might it cost?
Given the stakes, I am willing to invest here, obviously. The topic will be academic and the talk (unlike a TED talk) would ideally engage the audience. That is, even though I said lecture, there should be some kind of participation. It needs to be content-ful and accurate but also engage people completely.
Yes, I know this sounds dramatic, but my situation is different from that of most people in a nominally-similar situation and the difference between "a great talk" and "OMG that was AMAZING" really could mean losing or keeping my job.
I am not looking to read about public speaking or go to toastmasters or such. I do not have a public speaking phobia. I am a decent public speaker.
Obviously this person must be willing to work anonymously, to never list me on their resume, to not expect a blurb or recommendation from me, etc. |
