In the words of one recent delegate, "Eilidh delivers a bubbly, lively, high energy talk... " So expect a fun, interactive session as she shares her experience as a professional international speaker and Fellow of PSA (Professional Speakers Association, UK). In fact, Eilidh has stopped over in Singapore en route to her speaking tour in Australia, just to meet APSS members.

Eilidh will share with you some easy tips you can implement straight away. There will also be download materials created especially for APSS on Eilidh's website.

In this thought-provoking session, Eilidh will show you how to improve your confidence, enhance your impact and increase your success, including:

• Caring for your audience
• Being the Number One visual
• Applying the Rule of 3
• Involving your audience
• Delivering a call to action

Eilidh (it's pronounced Ay-Lee) is known as 'Captain Positive!' She is a teacher turned international speaker, columnist and award winning author. In the recent years, she has spoken to over 20,000 delegates in UK alone. Eilidh is a highly sought-after confidence coach working with people from Aberdeen to Adelaide.

For 20 years, Eilidh has been helping businesses convey strategic messages to their employees. Many have seen dramatic improvements as a result of Eilidh's interventions, but culture change can take time and the benefits of a one-off campaign or keynote speech can be short-lived. So Eilidh has developed a series of programmes, "Common Sense Communication," to tackle behaviours at all levels.

Eilidh is married with two children. Her head office is in Cheshire, UK. Eilidh is dropping back Singapore for 4 days to see Shirley (we met at the Global Speakers Summit in Holland) on her way to Australia to see family and conduct a speaking tour.

Presentation #2

How to Sell to Big Companies in China
even when you have Small Budgets and Little Brand Recognition

with CJ Ng

Almost all major global training consultancies have already established a presence in China, or are in the process of moving into China in a big way. There are also countless Asian training consultancies vying for a piece of the action in China. In Shanghai alone, there are thought to be about 10,000 training consultancies operating there.

The global consultancies will command a premium fee for their programmes and intellectual properties. Some of the local consultancies on the other hand are facing a lot more competition, so they find themselves locked in price battles struggling for better margins. CJ's company just did the reverse. He has a small team customising training solutions that give them healthier margins, which will in turn ease survival pressures. This allows them to spend more quality time and provide better service for their customers in China.

CJ will share with us how to:

• Exploit niches in the China market that allow you to gain acceptance by the big companies
• Position yourself as the expert of your domain so you can edge out your competition
• Increase your exposure to the right target audiences at minimal costs
• Streamline your operations and costs in China
• Create interest and action in your market by being creative and by persevering
