JOIN US! SEPTEMBER 24, 2025 SUPERIOR SPEAKERS ADVANCED MASTERCLASS WITH DR. KEVIN SNYDER, AS, ” “How to Become a TEDx Speaker: Share Your Story, Inspire People Globally and Launch Your Speaking Business!”

SPEAKERS: Did You Know that a TEDx Event Provides Presenters Marketing Opportunities to Get Hired and PAID?

ABOUT THIS EVENT:

Speaking on the TEDx stage is one of the most powerful opportunities anyone can experience. With more than 2,000 TEDx events held worldwide each year, the TEDx platform is a global movement that allows speakers to share their story and their wisdom to inspire others.

Dr. Kevin Snyder has stood on the iconic “TEDx Red Dot” multiple times, served as a TEDx event organizer, has been a TEDx Speaker Coach for dozens of events and witnessed firsthand how his own TEDx talk can transform and launch a speaking business. In this inspiring program, Kevin pulls back the curtain on why everyone with a meaningful story and “idea” should consider becoming a TEDx speaker.

Speaking on the TEDx stage is not about your speaking experience; rather, it’s about your message, your story, and your purpose for sharing it. The TEDx stage is waiting for you!

In our “Becoming a TEDx Speaker” workshop, you’ll:

  • Discover both the obvious and hidden benefits of speaking on the TEDx stage.
  • Understand how to find and pursue TEDx speaking opportunities.
  • Recognize what event organizers are — and are not — looking for so you can increase your chances of selection.

Kevin – Biography

Dr. Kevin Snyder is a globally recognized motivational speaker, multi-time TEDx presenter, and former TEDx event organizer. His first TEDx talk became a springboard for his professional speaking career, while his most recent TEDx, PURE Vulnerability, was released the same week as his newest book. Kevin’s TEDx experiences have reached thousands of viewers worldwide and generated ripple effects that continue to inspire audiences long after the talks end. Having delivered over 1,500 presentations across all 50 states and several countries, Kevin combines humor, authenticity, and powerful storytelling to help people think differently, unlock their potential, and take bold action. He is also one of fewer than ten speakers worldwide to earn both the Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) designation and the Accredited Speaker (AS) credential — the two highest honors in the speaking profession. www.KevinCSnyder.com

February 26, 2025 Special Accredited Speaker Workshop with Robert Cravalho, DTM, AS: “Consider The Audience”

JOIN US! Superior Speakers Advanced Special Workshop: Do You Know How Your Audience is Perceiving You? “CONSIDER THE AUDIENCE”

February 26, 2025 6:45PM EST
Presented by Robert Cravalho, DTM, PDG, AS
Title: CONSIDER THE AUDIENCE

Robert Cravalho, DTM, AS, PDG, comes to us from District 49 – the Aloha District and has been a toastmaster for 20 years. He is a member of Waikiki Toastmasters and his newly chartered club, Honolulu Toastmasters. Robert will share a different perspective for us to think about when creating our presentations with, “Consider The Audience”.

Speaker Information:

“Tell the story then teach the lesson! – The secret to motivate and inspire your team!” Robert appreciates this concept and presents real life stories that will make you laugh, cheer, and sometimes cry. After the emotion, there is a call to action with measurable results. This formula can be repeated in any situation and can have a positive effect on your team.

Motivational speaking is one of Robert’s preferred ways to connect with others. He enjoys prompting new ideas, destroying controlling beliefs, and challenging others to reach their true potential. Robert became a professional speaker to share his success as a leader, conflict manager and expert in internal and external communications. His clients have benefited from Robert’s expertise and they bring him back again and again to keep their teams performing at the highest level.

As a law enforcement executive, Robert has spent years tackling real-world problems. Those genuine situations and stories have been the inspiration for many of his speaking topics, that include: Speaking Topics: Managing Conflict to Resolution The K.I.C.K Method to Solve Conflict Through Dad’s Eyes: A Perspective for Opposition Take Me to Your Leader: Who wants to be that? The Leadership Spoon Public Speaking 101

Speak to Reach is a workshop that’s not only about providing us with tools to help us to become proficient public speakers but to also speak from our hearts that will reach any audience.  To reach an audience means using our unique heart-connected voice to touch others in a way that inspires them to make a positive change.  To accomplish this, we will examine:

  • How to create a strong heart-centered message that’s YOU.
  • How to use personal stories that will support our message.
  • How to use feedback, whether we disagree or not, to our advantage.

Joe has been busy traveling the globe to pursue his passion of public speaking participating in the Toastmasters World Championship of Public Speaking. He is a ten-time District Champion having qualified seven times for the world championships and successfully placed in the top 10 on two occasions. Joe is a three-time TEDx speaker and earned the prestigious Accredited Speaker designation from Toastmasters International in 2017 becoming one of 92 people in the world who hold this distinction. Joe does admit that his biggest accomplishment is getting hugs from his grandchildren.

Joe is a “FEEL GOOD” type guy and takes any opportunity to sing and dance in public, much to the dismay of my family. The last time Joe did his song and dance in public his children ran for cover.

Joe is a proud Toastmaster and he truly believes that Toastmaster audiences are the best audiences in the world. It is truly an honour for Joe to present in front of his toastmaster family because it matters not where you are in your journey, you are dedicated to self-improvement so that you can make a difference in this world.

TITLE: Speak Outside of Toastmaster for Fun, Profit and Club Building

Ever dream of being a professional speaker?
Ever wonder about how to get new club members?
What if the “how to” answer to both questions… Was exactly the same?

Walk away with incredible insight into how you can get started right away. You’ll get answers the important questions like:

• Do I have what it takes?

• What would I talk about?

• How do I get started?

Though his system Get Paid to Speak by Next Week®, he has helped many Toastmasters get their very first speaking checks! Darren LaCroix started his speaking business in 1994 after a failed business forced him to live with his parents. While broke and frustrated, he listened to a motivational tape a friend gave him, and he was hooked. He then dreamed of inspiring people like his heroes Zig Ziglar and Brian Tracy. But he had a problem. He had no content, no stage presence and no big story. He also lacked a business plan. He took years to figure it out. Finally, in 2001 he was able to quit his day job to become a full-time professional speaker.

Now, he is the only speaker in the world who is a World Champion, an Accredited Speaker, and a Certified Speaking Professional.

STEP 3 – Channing Lamar: Reframe Success and Mindset: Build mental toughness by consciously shifting from negative self-talk to positive reframing. 

STEP 4 – Wayne Davis: Establish “Hard” Boundaries: Harmonize work and life by setting clear, realistic limits.

Marty Dickinson, the “Complacency Crusher”


You’re Already Doing the Work.

Now Learn How to Get Paid for It.

Toastmasters gives you world-class practice in speaking, leadership, coaching, storytelling, and running meetings.

What it doesn’t teach you is how to turn those skills into income.

That’s exactly what this specialty training workshop is designed to do.


What This Workshop Is (and Is NOT)

❌ Not another “be a better speaker” session
❌ Not motivational fluff
❌ Not theory you’ll never use

✅ 200+ real, specific ways Toastmasters experience turns into revenue
✅ Practical paths for career growth, paid speaking, coaching, consulting, and business ownership
✅ Clear next steps you can act on within 30–90 days


What You’ll Learn in 90 Minutes: High-Impact Hours/Minutes 

🔹 How Speaking Practice Turns into Paydays

  • Paid talks, workshops, webinars, emcee roles
  • Internal corporate opportunities most Toastmasters miss

🔹 How Club & District Leadership Becomes Career Leverage

  • Turning officer roles into promotions, raises, and consulting credibility
  • Why leadership visibility = financial opportunity

🔹 How Mentoring, Evaluations & Contests Create Income

  • Coaching and training pathways
  • Executive communication, pitch coaching, and performance consulting

🔹 How to Build Your Personal Monetization Map

  • From 200+ ideas → your top 5 best-fit income paths
  • Short-term cash, mid-term growth, long-term leverage

You’ll leave with clarity, confidence, and a real plan—not just inspiration.


Why Learn from Bob Hooey & Marty Dickinson?

Bob the “Idea Man” Hooey

  • Known for seeing opportunities others overlook
  • Helps professionals spot monetizable ideas hidden in plain sight
  • Brings creativity, clarity, and rapid insight

Marty Dickinson

  • Professional speaker and business growth strategist
  • Helps experts turn experience into revenue
  • Specializes in practical monetization, not theory

Together, they connect ideas + execution.


Who This Is For

✔ Current Toastmasters
✔ Former Toastmasters
✔ Club & District Leaders
✔ Business owners who want to use speaking to build their business
✔ Speakers who want speaking to be their business
✔ Professionals who want promotions, side income, or business growth

If you’ve ever thought:

“I’ve gained so much from Toastmasters… I just don’t know how to leverage it financially.”

This workshop is for you.

In this masterclass, you will learn what it takes behind the scenes to turn your speaking hobby into a speaking business, how to make that feel like play instead of work, and how to get paid beyond the honorarium.

In this session, you will learn:

  • The method to engage an audience beyond the speech
  • How to get paid, even if you can’t make an offer
  • The power of email to be your private social media platform
  • 1-2-3: How to get paid 3 times for every speech
  • Why producing daily content is play, not work
  • and more

Bio:

Michael Whitehouse is known as The Guy Who Knows a Guy, and is the inventor of the Easy Summit format, has produced more than 75 virtual events, and has hosted over 500 speakers on his stages. He is the author of eight books, including The Guy Who Knows a Guy, and the founder of The Connector’s Edge, a professional network built on the idea that alignment means more than job title when it comes to a great connection.

Every day, Michael reaches a combined audience of more than 10,000 people through email and social media. More importantly, that audience reaches back. Those conversations are the engine of a six figure business he runs from a cozy basement office in Groton, Connecticut, without a sales team, a cold call, or a single mile of airport carpet.

He has spent the last decade learning what happens after the applause: how a talk becomes a relationship, how a relationship becomes an offer, and how the whole thing can feel less like hustling and more like playing. He is here to show you the part of the speaking business that nobody puts on the highlight reel.

SSA THEME: “WINNING — Steps Along the Way Wins the Goal”
Presented by: FOUR Professional Speakers!

What does it really take to win?

Not simply the trophy. Not one breakthrough moment. And certainly not an overnight success…

Winning is built along the way — through the courage to trust, the discipline to practice, the willingness to use our voices with purpose, the resilience to keep growing, and even the ability to look back at the seconds and experiences that shaped who we have become.

Join Superior Speakers Advanced on Wednesday, September 2 at 8 PM EST for an extraordinary evening featuring FOUR professionally paid speakers, each bringing a completely different perspective to our September 2 theme, WINNING.

Hyvelle Ferguson-Davis
“Practice, Purpose, and the Power of Our Voices Within”
What happens when practice meets purpose—and we learn to trust the power of the voice already within us?

Katasha Janos
“The Courage to Trust”
Winning sometimes begins before we know the outcome—with the courage to trust ourselves, the process, and the next step.

Joe Castanho — SSA’s newest member!
“18.8 Seconds — From 0 to 65… ish”
A title that already makes you wonder, What happened in those 18.8 seconds? Joe brings his professional speaking experience to SSA for the first time as one of our newest voices.

Dr. Ralph Hughes, DTM
“Beyond the Trophy — Lessons in Discipline, Resilience, and Growth from the World Championship Journey”
Fresh from his journey to the Semifinals of the Toastmasters World Championship of Public Speaking, Dr. Hughes takes us behind the achievement to share what the journey itself taught him about discipline, resilience, preparation, and growth.

This isn’t simply four speeches.
It’s four perspectives on what it takes to keep climbing.
One evening. Four professional speakers. Four very different journeys. One powerful theme: WINNING.

YOUR VOICE IS POWERFUL.
