The Professional Speakers Association of Southern Africa (PSASA) is proud to announce Francois Muscat as the president of the association. PSASA is the primary body for and home of professional speakers, trainers, facilitators, coaches, consultants, adult educators and keynote speakers in Southern Africa.

Francois Muscat, a well-known digital marketer in the industry, joined the PSASA seven years ago with the goal of promoting his internet marketing business, WSIOMS.

“When I joined the world of public speaking, my initial goal was to improve my public speaking skills and find new platforms where I could set to work in differentiating my digital marketing company from other web developers in the industry,” says Francois.

“One of the things that fascinated me the most about PSASA is seeing how fellow speakers help one another develop new skills and grow their speaking businesses. Since I joined, I’ve spoken and trained internationally in over 10 countries. It’s ben such an exciting and rewarding journey,” continues Francois.

Fellow speakers and members of PSASA recently voted Francois as the National President of the Association. Achieving this title is not only seen as a major accomplishment among our peers, but the designation also means that Francois will be tasked with helping other speakers achieve a high level of competence and professionalism in their work and elevate the speaking industry as a whole.

“Being announced as the National President is a tremendous honour for which I am very grateful. I’m looking forward to 2017 and I’ve already set the wheel in motion to help the association reach its goals of increasing our membership, opening new chapters and helping fellow speakers,” says Francois.

Francois concluded by inviting interested parties to attend any of the PSASA’s chapters and reach out to find out more about joining the association.

“Anyone interested in joining PSASA should attend one of our monthly chapter meetings. PSASA members are so versatile and diverse – they truly represent all aspects of the speaking business. There are many different ways that we can support you in your public speaking endeavours,” concludes Francois.

In March 2016, the digital marketing (PSASA) appointed internet marketing consultant and professional speaker, Francois Muscat, as the Deputy President of the association. Muscat joined the four years ago with the goal of starting a professional speaking business and he is both excited and humbled to be nominated by his fellow members.

“As a regular conference, business and keynote speaker, I joined digital marketing four years ago to connect with like-minded people and embark on the journey of starting a professional speaking business. Over the past few years, I’ve been able to learn so much from the other motivational speakers, trainers and authors at the PSASA. It is with great honour that I have accepted the role of Deputy President and I hope to continue to support our members wherever possible,”says Muscat.

Both aspiring speakers and established business speakers benefit from PSASA membership.Business communication is an ever-expanding industry and there are many opportunities for both personal and professional development.

“All types of speakers join the PSASA for various reasons. Executives who are looking to boost their prepared presentation skills, humourists who want to further their careers as comedians or conference speakers who travel the globe to present to industry experts all reap the rewards of belonging to an established organisation like this,” says Muscat.

Muscat, who regularly presents on topics such as digital marketing and social media marketing, says the valuable feedback from PSASA members and being to network with other business owners and speakers has proved to be extremely helpful in establishing his own professional speaking business.

“As the new Deputy President of PSASA, my goal is to help PSASA members achieve their goals,whether it’s facilitating environments for people to boost their own skills or navigate through the process of starting their own businesses – I’m here to help,” concludes Muscat.
