The two that have worked most effectively for me are "Think local and Bring em' back next year." I've developed some fantastic relationships with local universities in Atlanta and they've been bringing me back each year for their summer college-prep program or teacher trainings. In addition, it’s also important that we as speakers bring incredible value and make our programs relevant to students’ needs. Many campuses are operating on limited budgets, and as speakers and trainers, we have to go the extra mile - above and beyond - to bring quality programming to students. The bottom line is that it’s up to us as to deliver VALUE – especially in today’s environment! Our job is to enhance – and add to – their educational experience. I don’t take this for granted. I continue to improve my study skills and accelerative learning programs, expand what I'm doing and make my offerings unforgettable each time. The only way that happens is if the students really learn something. If they don’t, that’s a terrible price to pay! Smiles, Millicent Great suggestions, Rick!
