Your personal brand means being intentional about how you show up every day. You want to get noticed, not for what you know, but for how you make others feel, whether you’re in the office, on stage, or at your kid’s soccer game. Get ready to be seen as someone others want to work with.

Stop letting others decide what you’re known for. It’s time to take control. Choose three powerful words or phrases that describe you, and start living into them while you learn why consistency is key.

• How to define your personal brand, so you stand out and get remembered for what matters most.
• Why consistency on and off the stage or in and out of the office builds trust, so opportunities seek you out instead of the other way around.
• Practical ways to use your chosen words as your filter, to show up as your best self everywhere you go.
• The reason your reputation works for or against you, so you never leave your image to chance.

Be the person everyone remembers and the one they want to work with.

Never speak for free. When you speak for no-fee, there is always an exchange of value

There’s a world of opportunity waiting when you think beyond a paycheck. When you step in front of an audience, your expertise becomes your currency. Real exchange happens when both you and the event organizer benefit.

Most people settle for zero when they could be gaining connections, resources, and visibility. Instead, you can walk away with new leads, content, and credibility that propels your business forward. It’s time to discover how to turn every speaking opportunity into a Win-Win!

• A long list of ideas that you can ask for when there’s no speaker fee, so you never leave the room empty handed
• How to leverage introductions and referrals, enabling new bookings and business growth
• Creative ways to gain visibility, so your brand stands out even if you’re not paid
• Smart strategies to collect testimonials and content, boosting your authority and marketing
• Methods to negotiate perks like travel, VIP access, or marketplace exposure, multiplying the benefits from each gig

Stop thinking of speaking as free and start thinking strategic exchange.
