guest speaking

We’ve all heard versions of the phrase “there are really no new ideas” and “there are thousands of people who do what you do”, so when it comes to speaking on platforms and stages…

How do you talk about something that has already been heard?
How do you find an angle that’s unique and refreshing?
How detailed or broad should your topics be?
Can I talk about stories?
Does it all have to be “teachy” how to?

So. Many. Questions.

And if you’re anything like my clients, the truth is you have DOZENS of things you *could* talk about.

But the question is, how do you craft topics that are both compelling, but also align with your strategic business goals (remember those?😜)

In today's episode I’m doing something I’ve never done before and airing a REAL coaching call where I help a lucky business owner extract the genius out of their head and into 6 (yes SIX!) magnetic speaking topics that they can use for pitching podcasts and stages this year.

I hope this episode will get you fired up to nail your topics so that when invites come your way— or you find an opportunity you want to pitch— you are prepped and ready to pounce!

Think of your business as a three-legged stool…miss the mark with one (or neglect it) and the whole structure topples over.

As a business owner, your most vital role is making sure there’s a balance between all 3 legs—or as I call them pillars–so you can find the right growth path for this season of your business.

Inside the episode I break down my 3 powerful pillar strategy to help you focus on the true needle movers as you build your thought leadership business. 

Whether you’re at $500k+ or on your way to $100k, I’m dropping specific strategies to help you hit goals without overcomplicating your to-do list,  falling victim to the perfectionism trap or wasting time with busywork.

Plus I answered the top FAQs I always get asked related to speaking (visibility, pitching, and more) and created a special playlist of podcast episodes for you to burn through so you can get unstuck.

When most entrepreneurs think of speaking, they think of either professional speakers charging a fee for their talk or speaking for free to get experience to eventually command a fee. But this concept of trading money for time wasn’t why you built your business, and speaking for free without a strategy isn’t going to lead you towards the results you want. The good news is that this isn’t the only way to speak to get results in your business.  

In today's episode, I'm sharing with you my interview on the Sweet Life Podcast with April Beach where I explain the two types of speaking business models you can use to grow your business. We’re going to dig into my unique approach to sales and will share with you the step by step process to effectively use speaking opportunities into a money maker for your biz.

This conversation is filled with GOLD and tangible strategies so be sure you don’t miss this one!

In this podcast interview with April, I share:

• How speaking fits into your business and how you can leverage this to grow your business
• The types of Speaking Business Models and understanding which one aligns with your goals and strategies
• The importance of having a signature talk—one that connects to your offers and to the solutions that you provide
• Why listening to your prospect and understanding the context of their problems are critical steps for a successful sales call
• My unique approach to sales—3 steps that you can follow to effectively use speaking to grow your business

Stages are the BEST way in 2023 to accelerate your authority, build trust and generate HOT leads who want to pay you (not just download your free stuff).

Now, does that mean that you should chase all of these stages and say YES to every opportunity? Heck no. While booking more stages could get you bigger results— the reality is it’s what you DO with those opportunities that matters most.  

So the question is — what do YOU do when you have the mic?

In this episode, I dive into how you can show up intentionally and serve your audience well. Plus my fav strategies that I see as the biggest opportunity for 2023. You’ll learn:

• Redefining what a stage is and why it’s so critical to double down and create your own stage this year
• The different phases of the buyer’s journey and how it circles back to creating your own stage opportunities
• How do you make the most of your on stage moments
• Plus 4 strategies that can help you reimagine your mic moments in 2023
