What can you teach? What subject do you know in-depth and what are you passionate about? The chances are the answer to the last question may also be the answer to the first. With a series of Train The Trainer Courses like those available from www.collegeofpublicspeaking.co.uk/courses/train-the-trainer behind you, you can really begin to excel at the subject.
One of the most lucrative areas of the industry is business training and coaching. If you work as a freelance or join a company it is very likely that you will be sent out to various businesses and organisations to conduct training for a variety of audiences. There is also a big call for the training of a team of trainers within an organisation so that they can better pass on the necessary skills that are required by the employees. As they are the ones that will put the training into practice you have a very important role to play.
If striking out on your own it’s a good idea to focus on an area that you are extremely knowledgeable and passionate about. You can then market your ability to train and inform about the subject. Academic subjects are fine but the real selling point that you have is that of the more vocational subjects or soft business skills. Whatever you decide your skills in public speaking will be an invaluable asset as you go forward with your career.
