SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2025

ATLANTA, GEORGIA

❌ Do you feel lost and unsure how to secure contracts worth $5K, $10K, or even $20K? The frustration of searching for answers with no clear direction can leave you feeling stuck and discouraged.


❌ Are you struggling with self-doubt, making it hard to attract speaking opportunities that align with your passion and expertise? If fear or uncertainty has been holding you back, you’re not alone.


✅ Tired of piecing together advice from podcasts, freebies, and Facebook groups but still no real plan to get paid to speak?

You’re brilliant at what you do, but without a clear, step-by-step strategy, it’s easy to get stuck in learning mode instead of landing paid engagements.


✅ Struggling to craft a signature story that sells not just inspires?

You already have the experience and the message.

What you need is a framework to shape your story in a way that captivates decision-makers and converts into contracts, not compliments.


✅You’ve built credibility in your field but when it comes to paid speaking, you’re not moving at the level you know you could be.


If you’re feeling underutilized, under booked, or unclear on how to scale your voice into visibility and income, you’re not alone. It’s not about confidence. It’s about strategy.


This is your moment to stop playing small and start positioning yourself for premium opportunities.

YOU GOT THE MESSAGE.

NOW GET THE MONEY.

Most speakers spend years spinning their wheels giving free talks, guessing their rates, and struggling to turn passion into profit.


But it doesn’t have to be that way.


Join us for a high-level, done-with-you 1-day intensive designed for licensed professionals who are ready to command premium fees and build a profitable, sustainable speaking business without wasting time.

THIS IS FOR YOU IF:

  • ​You’re a licensed therapist, coach, or mental health expert ready to grow your brand beyond the therapy room.

  • You’ve already led group sessions, facilitated workshops, or trained other professionals and you know you have a message worth sharing.

  • You’re ready to transition from “free exposure” to paid speaking engagements that reflect your value.

  • You want to earn not just from the stage but also from back-of-room sales, consulting, and corporate contracts.

  • ​ You’re looking for more than information, you want a proven strategy, professional assets, and expert support.

  • You want to build a community of aligned ambitious speakers who understand your journey.

This is NOT for you if:

  • You’re content staying within the four walls of your practice, without expanding into new platforms or audiences.

  • You believe your expertise should remain limited to one-on-one sessions.

  • You're uninterested in expanding your impact beyond your immediate clients.

  • You don’t see public speaking as a credible or strategic extension of your professional brand.

  • You’re fully satisfied with your current income and not seeking new, scalable revenue streams.

  • You’re not ready to invest time, energy, or intention into elevating your career.

  • You still believe it’s unrealistic or “too good to be true” to get paid well for sharing your expertise on stage.

  • You’re looking for a shortcut instead of a real strategy that requires focus, clarity, and implementation
