ARE YOU ONE OF MANY OR ONE OF A KIND?
SAM HORN
Will give you 8 Fun, Innovative Ways to POP! Out and Become a Topic Expert, Best-selling Author, and Go-To Media Resource
There are literally thousands of speakers, trainers, consultants and authors on various topics What are you saying that's different? What are you offering that distinguishes you from others in your field? Why would meeting planners, media, and potential clients choose you over your competitors?
The premise of this program is that Jerry Garcia was right when he said, "It's not enough to be the best at what you do; you must be perceived as the only one who does what you do." Are you thinking, "Easier said than done?"
Thankfully, with Sam Horn's critically acclaimed POP! Process, you'll learn how to generate Purposeful, Original, Pithy, never-before-seen-or-heard topics, titles, techniques, and brands that position you as the #1 resource in your area of expertise. Ms. Horn will provide real-life ideas you can use right away to make quantum leaps that catapult your success.
Bring plenty of paper. This will be a hands-on workshop in which you'll immediately apply what you're learning to your business, brand, book, presentations, blog, website, articles, and business. Plus, three lucky participants will have a "Hot Seat" opportunity to brainstorm their priority project and receive feedback from Sam and the group.
Sam Horn, is the author of such best-selling books as POP! Stand Out in Any Crowd, Tongue Fu!, What's Holding You Back, ConZentrate, and Take the Bully by the Horns,
Her impressive client list includes NASA, Hewlett-Packard, Fortune 500 Forum, Boeing, and American Society of Association Executives. Her work has been sold around the world and featured in hundreds of publications including Investors Business Daily, Entrepreneur, and Readers Digest.

SPECIAL BENEFIT FOR MEMBERS
If you are a member of NSA Virginia, you are now also a member of the first official virtual NSA chapter in existence, Virtual New York NSA (www.nynsa.org). The new virtual chapter came into existence to overcome the problem this group was having in serving a large geography with many speakers. Their solution-a virtual chapter-opened the doors to NSA members across New York and the rest of the country, and the NSA Virginia Board recently took advantage of this opportunity on your behalf.
NSA Virginia has purchased a group membership for $10 per person, a significant discount from the usual $25 per person rate. While this is for a trial one-year period beginning in September, it immediately benefits NSA Virginia members in the following ways:
� Free access to live telecasts of upcoming programs
� Free access to recordings of past programs
� Member discounts to in-person "intensive development programs"
About the new benefit, NSA Virginia President Sandy Dumont says, "NSA Virginia is dedicated to helping its members become better speakers, and when we heard about this great learning opportunity, we wanted to share it with our members. The lineup of speakers is a Who's Who of NSA, and these virtual meetings can be heard live or downloaded and listened to later."
So in addition to taking full advantage of your NSA Virginia membership (i.e., seminars and workshops, networking, newsletter, library, listings and the Pro-Track learning system), you now have NYNSA's great programs and resources at your fingertips as well.
If you are currently a member of NSA Virginia, you have already been registered and have probably already received your welcome letter and the latest notifications of upcoming events (if you have not, let Jean Austin know).
If you are not a member, please consider joining right away and multiplying your benefits as a member of both chapters!
