<p>The Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation, conferred by the <a href="http://www.nsaspeaker.org/ABOUTNSA/Certification.aspx" target="_blank">National Speakers Association</a> (USA and Australia) and the <a href="http://www.iffps.org/" target="_blank">International Federation for Professional Speakers</a>, is the speaking profession&#8217;s international measure of professional platform skills. There are less than 600 CSP&#8217;s in the world and only 3 currently in Singapore.</p>
<p>If you are a meeting planner or planning a meeting, hiring a professional speaker who has achieved CSP means that you have insured that your event will be a success because the speaker has demonstrated competency in:</p>
<ul>
<li>Professional platform skills</li>
<li>Professional business management</li>
<li> Professional education</li>
<li>Professional association</li>
</ul>
<p>In addition the speaker has received excellent ratings from past clients on performance evaluations.</p>
<p>If you are a speaker or want to become a professional speaker I highly recommend that you join an IFFPS association, I am a member of the <a href="http://www.asiaspeakers.org/" target="_blank">Asian Professional Speakers Singapore</a> and you can read my blog post on <a href="http://selfleadership.com/blog/topic/leadership/presentation-skills/">presentation skills</a>.</p>
<p>See you on the platform, Andrew Bryant CSP <em>an expert who speaks on Self Leadership, Coaching and People Development</em>.</p>
