We invited Barbara Glanz to speak at our October conference "Positive Perspectives--Little Things Mean a Lot." In just one day, Barbara helped our people begin to realize that they can manage the everyday moments of truth and that they can each make a positive difference in their workplace for both their customers and co-workers. We've seen all sorts of little changes.

Testimonials

Barbara Glanz has been a featured speaker at two of my most successful conferences. At both conferences she proved not only to be an asset to the conference, but a dynamic wonder engendering much positive enthusiasm among the delegates with her wit and insight. Barbara endeared herself to the audience with her incredible spirit and exceptionally good information. She is always able to bring her concepts home with very practical situations and examples that everyone can relate to. Her charm is exceeded only by her intelligence.

About Barbara Glanz

What is a C.S.P.?

The Certified Speaking Professional designation, established in 1980, is the speaking industry’s international measure of professional platform skill. CSP is conferred by the National Speakers Association (NSA) only on those accomplished speakers who have earned it by meeting strict criteria. The letters CSP following a speaker’s name indicate a speaking professional with proven experience who understands what is required and knows how to deliver client satisfaction.

Why Should You Hire a CSP?

It will make your job easier! The success of your meeting will be judged largely on the caliber, professionalism and appropriateness of the topic and presenter(s) you select. Choosing a CSP maximizes your opportunity of providing a speaker with a message that will focus, elevate and enhance the mission of your meeting and stick firmly in the memories, attitudes and action plans of your attendees.

How Many CSPs Are There?

Less than 10% of the speakers who belong to the International Federation for Professional Speakers hold this professional designation.

What Benefit Does a CSP Bring to Your Meeting?

A CSP brings a proven track record of continuing speaking experience and expertise. CSPs are committed to ongoing education, outstanding service and ethical behavior.
