When speaking to an audience I make sure of 3 things: they are entertained (nothing worse than a boring speaker), they are engaged (think of this like a mini-workshop) and they are educated (I guarantee they will walk away with actionable steps to have a BOLDER LIFE & BIZ).
Speaking in person to hundreds of people across the Country has allowed me to truly understand what my role as a speaker and facilitator is. Isn't it true, we all go to events because we are striving to become better business owners, sales people and frankly, human beings...all with the hopes that the speaker doesn't suck!
Happy to supply a list of testimonials for you! #beBOLDitsTIME
Best,

As someone who has been in the audience with a crappy speaker I am 100% committed you would never hear that from an attendee!
My goal for every single event is to ensure three things:
1. the audience is ENGAGED. Nothing worse than someone trying to their wisdom and not CONNECT with the audience, and better yet, have the audience connect with each other.
2. the audience is ENTERTAINED. Boring doesn't cut it. When I am honored to be chosen to speak in front of a group of people wasting their most valuable asset...their time is unacceptable.
3. the audience is EDUCATED. Whether they ever work with Mary Bicknell again, I make sure they walk out with tangible, actionable tips and tools.
I want the audience to gain from their experience with me.
I want the planners to look like ROCK STARS for bringing me in.
This work I have been doing for 20 years. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
You can expect me to deliver to the audience yes, and to work with you the planner in whatever way is needed.
You can expect me to make this simple for you and for you to feel proud that you delivered someone of quality.
I will develop a custom talk if needed and provide a workbook as well.
AV needs: depends on the situation and size.
Let's talk and see what I can help you with.
Here is a recent email I received from a planner: (and feel free to check out my website: (link hidden))
Hi Mary,
Happy Friday!
Your presentation was very well received at GWIC and wanted to forward the comments that came from attendees. Here they are. Please feel free to share these quotes on your website/social media.
§Best speaker/topic; she should have been the keynote on Tuesday morning to set the tone
§Great energy and content; would have been better in a smaller group setting
§I agreed with the underlying message and some of the exercises, such as defining what success looks like for me.
§I liked the exercises to recover confidence
§I wish I could have Mary come to my company and speak to all of the women after hearing her speak
§Loved this
§Mary was entertaining and empowering
§Mary was excellent; very inspiring and motivating
§She should have been a keynote; I wish every person at that conference could have seen her talk (heck, just everyone, in general, should see her speak); she was hands down the highlight of the conference when it came to speakers; she gave such honest information and made it relatable to every person in that room
§Speaker was highly engaging and seemed to speak all those inter thoughts
§This session needed to be longer; the speaker was what we all wanted to hear
§This session would have been great in the morning to get people excited and motivated
§This was my favorite session of the conference; it really hit home with me and she was so fun
§This was our favorite; could have watched her all day long
§Topic is good to be featured as a separate afternoon workshop so presenter can go in deeper into topic; this is a constant presentation at women in construction events that always only hits the top of the iceberg
§Very positive; she should be a keynote speaker
Thank you for your participation and have a wonderful weekend!

Bio: Mary Bicknell: MSW, LCSW, Business Success Coach
Mary Bicknell is a speaker, mentor and business success coach for women who are disillusioned with the idea of working all the time and settling for the leftovers in life.
Mary combines her years of experience as a psychotherapist with her extensive knowledge of sales and business to support female business owners and entrepreneurs. Her goal with her clients is to act as a coach and consultant so they can make a big difference in the world all while making a big profit. Yes, you can have both.
She takes a stand for women designing their lifestyles first and then building their biz around it. She knows, it only takes being B.O.L.D. to do it. (being Brave, being Outgoing, being a Leader and being DECISIVE) She is the creator of two popular business programs; BIG, BOLD LIFE & BIZ PLAN and Empire Building 101.
Using her proven Biz Trifecta System to increase her business 450% in a single year, Mary proves that building a successful business can be done without all of the stereotypical “hard work”. Creating a plan, implementing systems to support the plan and having big mindset breakthroughs are the very foundation for super success.
Demanding lots of free time and big financial freedom, she works 3 days a week while earning multiple 6 figures. Her priority is to be a hands on mama to her daughter 9 year old, River and have plenty of time and energy for her dreamboat hubby, John.
Whether it is marching for women’s rights in Washington D.C. or teaching on a Google Hangout, Mary has always taken a stand for women living their most extraordinary life–guilt free.
I can easily have a PowerPoint Presentation, but I am just as comfortable without. Having a lavalier mic is my favorite because I want to move around and engage with the audience.
