It's time to evolve from speaker to thought leader.
Learn about
the Academy
That means you.
We need more women as thought leaders.
We know that it's through women’s stories, voices, and visibility, we challenge the status quo and change existing systems, to benefit more people.
Your brave and bold message, thought leadership project, and signature talk are key.
The Problem?
Because of COVID, we're all presenting virtually, which means everyone has experienced a {somewhat boring} talk or training.
How can you stand out and make your presentations and interviews compelling, especially on camera?
How can you make a bigger impact with your message and put more meaning into your business?
How can you be seen as a thought leader and not another {unpaid} speaker?
What differentiates thought leaders from others is having a participatory project: it could be a podcast, a book, an event, or an initiative.

The Solution
You need to position and market yourself as a thought leader, with a bold message, well-crafted signature talk, and visibility plan to attract the right opportunities.
Thought leaders have these elements in common:
- Viewpoint that's interesting & unique
- Open, bold, and direct in their message and communication
- Individual/personal story that they universalize
- Container/project for their thought leadership (this is key!)
- Emotive, real and vulnerable in their content and delivery
Our Thought Leader Academy program provides personalized expert coaching, peer support, training, and accountability.

How Past Participants Have Benefitted


I've always known that working on my speaking skills was a key part of my business that I needed to invest in. I've spent years listening to Carol's podcast so when the group program opportunity came up I just knew I had to get on board.
The benefits from this program have been immense. I've booked several paid talks since joining and I know it's been because of the group program.
I love the group format as I get to support and the see the progress of the other women, learn more about their expertise and share in their journey.
I would 100% recommend Carol Cox and Diane Diaz for anything speaking related and will definitely call on their expertise again in the future.

Your group program helped me tremendously, particularly in these areas:
- Accountability makes the goals real.
- The support of other members of the group, especially when impostor syndrome starts lurking in the back of my mind.
- Receiving “The How” to do it was priceless. This last benefit is crucial to your program. Many courses offer nonspecific general advice, but here we received dedicated action steps for each person’s situation.
To me you are the "it" person when it comes to speaking coaches.”
— Carmen Landrau, M.D., Professional Speaker

In your group program, I really benefitted from:
- the valuable collaboration and feedback from other successful women who are experts in their craft
- understanding how to pitch
- how to effectively tell a story and how transition into and out of it
- how to ask for an opportunity to speak
- how to simplify my message so that it’s understood and received properly
This was a valuable program for me both personally and professionally.”
— Jamara Wilson, Founder, Tuxedo Impressions


I really am impressed with all of the ladies in this group! (every single one of you!)
When you find so many women who are not only super smart, savvy business women but also so caring and supportive it is really inspiring!
Thank you, Carol and Diane, for putting together such a great group of ladies!
— Amber Hawley, LMFT, Speaker & Podcaster

The value of this program has been so much more than I paid.
It has helped me reframe my approach towards speaking.
By creating my keynote, building my speaking page, and crafting my offer, I am no longer someone who speaks.
I am a speaker.
— Marie Fiebach, Speaker & TV Contributor
