Focus on Your Biosheet
The scariest moment for an event planner is the moment she hands the mic to the speaker. Believe me– I’ve been there, and when you feel a responsibility for shepherding your group, it’s terrifying to give complete control to a virtual stranger.
Writing a great biosheet is one way speakers can serve event planners. When we write a biosheet that sets a planner at ease and builds trust, we not only increase our opportunities to speak but we also create a safe space for leaders.
Watch the video below for one tip to strengthen your biosheet.

Do you have a speaker biosheet? Let us know how you use it to effectively communicate with event planners. There’s a lot of overlap with writer’s one-sheets, so you can use this tip to communicate with publishers too.

Thank you! This was very insightful and helpful! “Warm and audience focused.”
So glad it was helpful!
I have a question on my biosheet. I am a happy spirited gal. My bio sheet is in different colored font throughout. Should I change that to be more professional do you think? I have it posted on my website but I’ve only had it out there for a few months and haven’t had the opportunity to get feedback yet to let you know if it is effective or not. Your thoughts?
I took a little peek, Deanna, and I think I’d use color in a different way on your biosheet. If the person who did your website could help with some branding, I’d keep the font in black for readability’s sake.
Hey partner, I love learning from you! This is such a good reminder to see from the event planner’s perspective! Great advice!
Thanks, friend!
