When I first spoke with Tammy Lally, I knew immediately that her message about “money shame” was an idea the world needed to hear.
Together, we shaped her story into a keynote that was both deeply personal and universally resonant.
The result? A TEDxOrlando talk so impactful that TED selected it for their home page - an honor given to fewer than 50 out of 25,000 talks each year.
That talk has now reached over 2 million viewers on TED.com, leading to paid speaking invitations and a thriving business with clients around the globe.
That's the impact of powerful, intentional storytelling.

The Impact & ROI of Your Signature Talk & Message
“You’re the reason I am confident in my keynote. Best decision I made was to hire you. The value has been 10 fold.”
— LuAnn Nigara, Entrepreneur, Keynote Speaker, Host of the A Well-Designed Business podcast
When I think back over the last year, you’re a big part of that picture. A TEDx talk and a signature talk. Wow! They are huge accomplishments. You helped me connect with a deeper part of my mission. You have a gift. I’ve had coaches before, but they weren’t focused on their clients the way you are.
— Maureen Taylor, The Photo Detective®

UC Faculty: Translating Research into Impact Through Speaking
When we were planning our ’Change the World Through Research’ event at the University of California’s DC Center, I knew I had to have Speaking Your Brand coach our faculty who would be presenting their research.
Although faculty have fantastic ideas and often have extremely relevant ideas for policy, they're not always capable of delivering those ideas in a way that's compelling.
And it worked! People were emailing me afterwards, asking ‘How did you find such amazing speakers?’
You all did an incredible job helping them get a clear idea of their message and then connecting that message to their personal story, plus giving them the confidence to do it."
— Tanya Golash-Boza, PhD, Executive Director, University of California Washington DC Center
What It's Like to Work With Us
Carol’s process of storytelling is compassionate and smart. With her guidance, I was able to take my story and turn it into a powerful idea worth spreading on the TEDx stage. We all need people to guide us to our greatness. Carol is one of those people."
— Tammy Lally, TEDx speaker whose talk has nearly 2 million views
If you want to incorporate speaking into your visibility strategy then working with Speaking Your Brand is a must. I was awed and amazed. Carol literally blew my mind with her magical ability to pull the information out of my head and convert it into a compelling talk. I'm excited to deliver my new presentation to reach more people and grow my business and influence."
— Lorena Klingel, Founder, Learn to Flourish
