What is it like to travel around the world, from Europe to China, to speak – and get paid for it?
My guest is Annie Mori, a licensed pediatric occupational therapist and founder of playSense, based in California.
Annie is paid to travel internationally several times a year to conduct trainings and workshops and to be a keynote speaker at conferences.
In this episode, Annie and I talk about:
- How she became an international speaker
- How she negotiates contracts with conferences and organizations
- Challenges with speaking to an international audience, including language and cultural differences
- What happens when things don’t go as planned
- How she balances travel, business, and family
- Her tips for becoming a paid speaker
