Having seen a few recently the procedure seems to be:

Read out your CV in such a way as to imply you are a genius including a few massive achievements that nobody can really check.

Talk about your great idea which is going to save the world with plenty of name dropping of celebrity enthusiasts but distinct lack of actual detail.

Ask for questions but explain you don't have time for many because of all the applause has caused you to overrun.

If any question more demanding than 'tell us again what a genius you are' is asked look like a rabbit in headlights and try to wriggle out of answering.

Collect huge cheque.



Is this the norm?

I went to the London business how last year November in Olympia and there were tons of these 'Motivational speakers'. They all had microphones near their mouths convincing people how they can make money on the stock market 'without breaking a sweat'! It was unbelievable to see how the people believe their bs.

FYI: If you can write a book with a few challenges you faced and how you faced them - there is an audience that will buy your stuff.
