***
It’s Time to Impact The World With Your Message and Get Paid What You’re Worth.

 


** Retreat Special**

(ends May 21, 2023 at the end of the celebration dinner)

If you’re an expert, an entrepreneur or author who wants to…

Speak on stages around the world, impact more people with your message and get paid more to speak.

Yet you’re struggling with…

Getting your messaging just right, choosing a niche that’s both sustainable and profitable, finding speaking gigs that pay, getting the attention of meeting planners that have a budget, moving from free to paid speaking.

You’re not alone!


Now is your time to…

Share your message and expertise with the world.
Impact more people.
Learn how to tell your story and turn it into sustainable and lucrative speaking business.
Stop speaking for FREE.
Take your speaking, coaching, and expertise and grow it to the next level.
Start getting paid what you’re worth.



When I first started speaking over 20 years ago, I never knew that speakers got paid as much as they did.

5 years into my speaking career I was blessed with a mentor who showed me what was possible and the ins and outs of the professional speaking industry. It was like a veil was lifted from off of my eyes, he showed me how to structure my business so I could travel the world speaking on stages and getting paid my worth. 

Today I speak internationally and have clients across the globe. I’m the communication, body language and confidence coach to celebrities, politicians, C-suite executives and entrepreneurs. I’m Cosmopolitan and Women’s health magazine’s body language expert and am on local and national news.

My clients and I speak and get paid anywhere from $2000 – $35,000 per speaking engagement and are flown across the world living our dreams, delivering in person and virtual keynotes, workshops and seminars.

If you’re serious about maximizing your Impact in the World and building a sustainable speaking business (whether you’re starting from scratch or simply tired of speaking for free), knowing how to handle the “we have no budget” conversation, and increasing your take home income moving forward…then please CONTINUE READING…

Because, Yes, You can have it

ALL!


Many people believe that the only thing you need to focus on is being a top performer when you get on stage. That’s definitely true, but that’s just wetting your toes.

Here’s the reality…

There are a lot of great speakers out there. However, most of them are speaking for FREE or not speaking on stages at all.

For many, it has nothing to do with their ability to deliver an outstanding talk. If you can’t get the attention of the event coordinator, it doesn’t matter how great a speaker you are.

Many people know how to SPEAK, but, they have not mastered the BUSINESS OF SPEAKING. That is the missing link, that is what makes the difference between getting paid $200 and $3000, $5000 or $10,000 dollars.

It’s a balance of meeting the needs of the event planner, their audience, motivating and educating simultaneously, having solid marketing systems, clarity on your expertise and positioning yourself as the go-to person in your industry.

“But Karen, Nobody’s Doing In-Person Events Right Now!”

You might be wondering, WHY should you invest in building out your speaking business now, if no one is holding live events in person for the near future? 

Good question.

And here’s the answer: the event industry HAS NOT DISAPPEARED – some events have  postponed and Many have simply moved online!

Event planners are rapidly pivoting to virtual events, and guess what? 

They still need speakers.

Is that you?

ONLY if you have the right system in place!

Introducing…

The Speak, Get Booked, Get Paid 6-month Academy

I have curated my Secure the Stage System so you have a road map to tell you exactly how to show up, what to say to get noticed, how to help the meeting planner say YES to paying you, and how to book out your calendar with speaking engagements.

There are FOURTEEN different speaking business models that I teach – and SEVEN of them are virtual. 

Which means that now is the PERFECT time to build your speaking business, whether it’s from a “real stage” (hopefully soon!) or an online platform.

Over the first 90 days, you’ll get the foundation to go out and start making income.

After the 90 days, it’s all about building the infrastructure, brand awareness, your presence, your delivery, building your network, marketing systems, bookings, speaking and more bookings etc.
