Learn how to become the kind of speaker event organizers want to invite.
You have valuable expertise and ideas worth sharing.
Maybe you’ve spoken before in meetings, trainings, or panels — or you know speaking could open doors to bigger opportunities.
But when it comes to getting invited to speak, things can feel unclear.
❓ You’re not sure which speaking opportunities are actually worth pursuing.
❓ You’re unsure how to position your expertise so event organizers see you as a great fit.
❓ You’re wondering what kind of talk you should offer — or whether you even have a “signature talk” yet.
❓ You’re asking yourself: How do I move from being an interchangeable expert to someone who gets invited to speak?
You've come to the right place!
In this live, hands-on online workshop, you’ll learn how to position yourself as a bookable speaker — someone event organizers want on their stage.
You do the work in our workshop!
Because speaking engagements happen when your message, positioning, and visibility are aligned.
LIVE Workshop on Zoom
Wednesday, April 15, 2026
1:30-4:30 pm Eastern
Here’s What You Really Want to Do:
- Turn every speaking opportunity into a way to attract leads and clients
- Get paid to speak - and know exactly what to charge
- Have speaking invitations come to you because your positioning makes it easy to say yes to you
- Spend less time writing proposals and pitches (hello, AI + templates!)
- Feel confident every time you speak because you know your message and offer are aligned
- Have a clear action plan
This is for you if…
- You’re an entrepreneur who wants speaking to be a key part of your business growth
- You’ve spoken before - or you’re just getting started - but haven’t seen the client results you want
- You feel unsure about how to pitch yourself, what to charge, or how to follow up
- You want your talks to do more than inform - you want them to inspire action and generate business
- You’re tired of overthinking and procrastinating and you're ready for a clear plan that actually works

Have you ever had one of these experiences after giving a presentation?
#1: You shared a lot of valuable information… but it didn’t lead to more speaking opportunities or invitations.
#2: Your presentation covered a broad topic like leadership, mindset, or communication — and afterward you realized it sounded like many other talks out there.
#3: People said, “Great talk!” — but nothing changed afterward. No follow-up conversations, no invitations to speak again, no momentum.
If any of these feel familiar, you're stuck in what I call The Expert Trap.
What event organizers are really looking for is thought leadership — a unique message and a talk that wows and creates meaningful impact.
In the Become Bookable workshop, you’ll learn how to move beyond the Expert Trap and start positioning yourself as the kind of speaker event organizers want to invite.
Why This Matters
Our mission is to develop more women thought leaders and prominent speakers. Speaking is one of the fastest, most impactful ways to build your credibility, your influence, your reach, and yes, your revenue.
The ROI of Working With Us
I learned how to reach out to companies and position myself as a paid speaker that they would want to bring in.
As a result of that outreach and updating my LinkedIn and website with what I learned, I have sent over $10,000 worth of speaking and training proposals.
At this moment, I have officially booked $4,000 and still in progress working out details with the others.
I applied for an out of state speaking opportunity, and whether I get it or not, I now have an understanding of what event organizers want and how to find those kind of opportunities, so that knowledge is so much more than just one event.
I'm evolving my business to include more ways for getting paid to speak. Before working with Speaking Your Brand, I had zero strategy for how to do this, whoever randomly asked invited me was my strategy, and it was usually unpaid. Now, I feel like I have the skillset and the confidence to make speaking a viable part of my revenue.
