Standard of
Performance Statement
The Soar with Eagles Platinum Standard
To be considered to be an official part of the Soar with Eagles speaker
bureau, you are expected to adhere to our standard of performance. The
opportunity to take the speaking platform is a privilege reserved for those
honor the responsibilities that come with it. Soar with Eagles speakers and
trainers must demonstrate high-quality platform skills, content and product
development, commitment to professional development, professionalism, work
ethic, and customer service.
You are a role model. Live an ethical, socially responsible personal and
professional life. Walk the talk.
Your image matters. Take excellent care of your health and appearance.
Dress appropriately for your audience and organization (normally a couple of
notches above the audience but check with the client to make sure).
You are a servant-leader. The satisfaction of your client and client
organization is your ultimate responsibility. Understand client needs and
interests by conducting information-seeking conversations with the client and
no fewer than three people who will attend several weeks in advance of the
program. Know what their expectations of you are. Remember, it’s all about
them.
You are an ambassador for your sponsor, client, and Soar with Eagles. Provide extraordinary customer
service by arriving early and staying as long as needed afterward and
delivering exactly what they requested. Be prepared to give your best performance
for every client despite adversity. They are your host — treat them
graciously and thank them for inviting you to be a part of their program.
Your professionalism and expertise is your signature. Keep your material
fresh by updating your material often (both content and look) and producing
new program-supporting products on a regular basis. Commit to improving your
platform skills through professional development. Constantly increase your
knowledge in your area of expertise. Practice your material often.
Soar with Eagles will not recommend any speaker who misses any engagement
due to lack of planning or taking proper care of themselves. Arriving on time
and prepared is critical. If you cannot meet any performance commitment, give
us enough notice to schedule another speaker in. Family emergencies are a
reality and cancellations will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
Anyone (professional or no-fee) who is not able to meet these commitments will not be recommended to
our clients.
