Speaking topics
Each topic can be shaped for your audience, theme and time slot.
Most professionals have one story that explains their work better than any credential. Few have looked at it closely. Bob shows how to find that story, decide what it needs to show and tell it so the listener sees why it matters to them.
Audiences leave with a simple way to choose, shape and test the story they tell most often.
People follow leaders whose words match their experience. This talk looks at the distance between a leader's polished version and the person their team actually knows, and at how honest stories narrow it.
Audiences leave with practical ways to share real experience, including the hard parts, while keeping the room's confidence.
Your experience holds decisions, turning points and lessons nobody else can copy. Bob brings a journalist's questions to help audiences find the defining moments they have stopped noticing.
Audiences leave with a set of questions they can use to uncover their own defining experiences.
Good ideas often get lost after the meeting ends. This session looks at why that happens and how a clear story helps clients and referral partners describe your work accurately when you are not in the room.
Audiences leave with a clearer way to describe their expertise so other people can pass it along.

About Bob Graham
Bob Graham is a keynote speaker, author and the founder of SpearPoint Ink.
He began as a journalist and went on to work in marketing, public relations and business coaching. He has also taught college English and marketing. Each of those roles involved the same question: what does this person know, and how can someone else understand it?
Today Bob helps leaders uncover their defining experiences. He has helped more than 25 authors turn their expertise into business books, and he is the author of The Renegade Way.
Audiences
After the talk
A session can bring up more material than an hour can hold. When a leader or expert finds a story worth developing, a book can give it room for examples, argument and detail.
SpearPoint Ink helps experienced professionals turn that thinking into business books and Authority Assets. An Authority Asset is a book plus agreed supporting materials for speaking, client education or other business uses.
