What is a CSP?

We're glad you asked. The Certified Speaking Professional (CSP) is a designation conferred by the National Speakers Association (NSA)* and the International Federation for Professional Speakers.

The CSP is the speaking profession's international measure of professional platform skill. The CSP designation is earned through demonstrating competence in a combination of standards:

• Professional platform skills;
• Professional business management;
• Professional education; and
• Professional association.

Less than 10% of the speakers from around the world have it. And guess what. Neen James is part of that elite group.

* The National Speakers Association (NSA) is the leading organization for experts who speak professionally. NSA's 4,000 members include experts in a variety of industries and disciplines who reach audiences as trainers, educators, humorists, motivators, consultants, authors and more. Since 1973, NSA has provided resources and education designed to advance the skills, integrity and value of its members and the speaking profession.
