This industry is a roller coaster, the popular topic can change fast. I will show you how to ride the wave and be successful no matter what you may be facing.

About

My name is Nona Prather and I own and operate Prather Marketing Services.

Most of our clients are professional speakers. We market clients through several different avenues such as phone calls, email campaigns and social media management.

I have worked in the speaking industry since 1992, when my Dad, Carl Potter, CSP began his own speaking business. I spent countless hours promoting my dad through phone calls, emails and mailings.
Then in 2017, My Dad and I started The Safety Institute where we represented and helped safety speakers find paid speaking gigs. Working closely with speakers and consultants over the past 30 years as taught me that every speaker needs a supportive team.

As a result of our work, we have seen clients:

-save time and energy so they can focus on their strengths;
-develop stronger presentations that inspire and motivate; and
-find new audiences they had never considered.

On a personal note, last year my husband and I sold all our belongings, including the house and moved into a Travel Trailer full time so we can travel around the USA as much as possible."
