11/18 MASTERCLASS: So You Want to Be a Speaker
$95
You've got something to say. Maybe it's a powerful personal story, professional expertise, or an idea you know could make a difference. But how do you turn that into actual speaking opportunities? And what does it really take to become a speaker people want to hire?
Here's the reality: The speaking market is crowded, fiercely competitive, and filled with rejection. There are more people than ever positioning themselves as speakers, and having an inspiring story, a polished website, or a clever keynote title doesn't guarantee you'll get booked. If you want to stand out, you need more than a message. You need a plan.
In this fast-paced, interactive 90-minute workshop, Hall of Fame keynote speaker and Certified Speaking Professional Kristen Brown pulls back the curtain on what it takes to build a speaking business, from developing your message and finding the right audiences to delivering memorable presentations and creating new opportunities.
With 17 years running her own professional speaking business, 15 years of corporate speaking experience before that, and a love of speech and drama dating back to her school years, Kristen brings decades of real-world experience to the conversation. She's seen what works, what doesn't, and what aspiring speakers often overlook.
You'll discover five critical must-haves that touch every part of your speaking journey, including your message, positioning, audience, stage presence, and business opportunities. You'll also get practical insights, examples, and strategies you can put to work immediately.
