Why Do I Try to Accept Every Speaking Engagement that’s Offered to Me?
Speaking and writing are two of the most professionally rewarding things I do. I really love them both. When I’m in front of a live audience, not only do I get to impart valuable marketing lessons, but I also get to see – firsthand – those special “Ah Ha!” moments that strike like a lightning bolt. As a speaker, there’s nothing more gratifying.
Writing articles and ghostwriting books are equally as satisfying, but in a different way. I can typically reach a much larger audience than I can with speaking. Plus, unlike speaking, any article I write – whether written for a bar publication or other legal publisher – enjoys an extraordinarily long shelf life. I have received feedback from readers, in some cases, years after an article was published. This wouldn’t be possible if it weren’t for the Internet.
As a marketer, I realize there are few things more effective in generating business than speaking and writing.
I always do my best to accept every speaking or writing invitation that comes my way. Of course, sometimes conflicts arise and I’m unable to reschedule an obligation that has already been made. But I promise to do my best to accommodate you, your function, your topic and date. As my late father used to say, I wish there were 30 hours in a day!

What are conference organizers saying about Nader’s presentations? Here’s a small sample:

“I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for helping us to launch our continuing legal education series at the Corporate College.
