Join us 2 weeks after the event for a live virtual content sprint where we help you turn your footage into short-form videos, LinkedIn posts, pitch scripts, and a media-ready speaker sheet.
You’ve got the expertise, experience, drive, and the passion to share it all. But you feel like the BEST KEPT SECRET because, without professional content, a clear message, and the confidence to pitch yourself - your potential clients don't know WHY they should hire you. So... you keep getting rejected (or worse - you self sabotage and don't even try to get booked).
We get it! This isn’t about gaining hype, followers or influence. It’s about taking "ADVANTAGE" of the opportunity to be found, hired and make the impact you've worked so hard for.
You have a message that needs to be told
You're tired of not being seen as an expert
You're craving clarity and confidence
You need assets that reflect your value
You're ready to learn
You're ready to take the next steps
This is the only time we’re running "The Speakers Advantage" this year. So if you’ve been sitting on your story, doubting your brand, or hiding from the spotlight - this is your moment to change that.
Once the stage spots are gone, they’re gone, but you can still take advantage of the off-stage add-ons.
Many people believe that if they just had the best gear, better assets, and the right connections - they could finally get booked... And Yes, these things help. But... here's the truth. You don't just need new gear, software and content - you need something that reflects your authority, energy, and authentic presence. You don't just need connections - you need confidence to connect with people beyond the stage and screen. You also need a clear vision and mission with an unshakable message. And you must be able to share that message from your heart with confidence, conviction and passion!
That's really what "THE SPEAKERS ADVANTAGE" is all about.
YOU are the speaker
YOU have the message
BECOME THE ADVANTAGE!
Do you have a message to share?
Are you ready to be seen & feel like you are ready to invest in what it takes to be seen ?
If you answered YES - then this event is for YOU!
Not at all. This event is designed for speakers at every level of the speaker journey - from aspiring to established who have a message to share. So, whether you’ve been on a hundred, a few or no stages at all, we’ll help you create the assets you need to look and sound like the expert you are (and if you desire - we can guide and support you every step of the way).
This depends on which package you choose - but either way you'll leave with professional quality assets within 7-10 days of the event.

The amount of actual video recording will depend on your ability to do a quick wardrobe change -if desired, and how you are able to present. Plus you will get 5 still photos on stage of you speaking, a post stage feeback response,

Everyone walks away with confidence, clarity, and a team that is available for you when you are ready for the next level.
You’re not alone, and that’s exactly why we created this event. All three of us wished that we would have had this event as a resource when we got started. We also realize that a little bit of nerves is a good thing. So, with that said - the bottom line is that confidence comes from preparation and repitition.
Our team specializes in helping you prepare for the event so you can build your on-camera confidence and presence. The resources you'll come away with will help you promote yourself so you can start getting in those speaker reps.
You will receive the videos and photos approximately 7-10 days after the event. (unless you want to send us additional videos to be included in your new sizzle reel and in that case it could take additional time. Also - your speaker one sheet turn around time is approximately 10 days from when we receive all of your assets and information.)
If you chose the BASIC PACKAGE, you will likely receive your video sooner so you can edit and take the next steps of creating your sizzle reel yourself. Photos will still be 7-10 days.
If you chose the PLATINUM PACKAGE, everything you receive will be ready for you to immediately use on your website, in pitch emails, speaker applications, or on social media.
If you choose the $750 BASIC PACKAGE: You'll receive a pre-event flyer to promote your speaking at the event. A prep call with our team to answer any questions before you take the stage. You'll get 20 minutes of stage time on October 15th and we will video you with 2 different backgrounds. The amount of actual video recording will depend on your ability to do a quick wardrobe change -if desired, and how you are able to present. Plus you will get 5 still photos on stage of you speaking, a post stage feeback response. This is a great way to start gathering your assets in the most economical way possible.
If you choose the $1997 PLATINUM PACKAGE: You will receive all of the items mentioned in the Basic Package above - PLUS; A personal video tech to capture B-Roll video of you before and after your stage time and media interview.
