Speaking gigs aren't just for motivational TedX events, or inspiring college grads to get after their dreams with gusto. They CAN be those things, but most of us aren't looking to get on big, fancy stages in front of monster crowds. We just want to get more visibility for our communities. Our offers. Our services. And speaking gigs are SUCH a powerful (and underrated) way to do that. What IS a speaking gig then, if it's not a keynote? Things like: - podcast appearances - community events - collabs and panel discussions and so much more! Come learn about a whole host of speaking gigs that feel less scary and more attainable than the big stages. PLUS - where to find them - how to land them - and how to crush them when you get the YES! TODAY at 12pm Central Time / 1pm New York Time @Traci Poe, leader of the Public Speaker's Growth Hub and are joining forces to get you on your speaking journey! Sign up now so you don't forget when the time comes!

Ok, maybe not THAT fast... but once you know what to do you CAN land speaking gigs FAST AF! What kinds of speaking gigs? - podcasts - keynotes - workshops - summits and more! But why would you want to? - visibility - visibility - visibility (Also, $$. Because paid speaking gigs are not as hard as you might think.) Building your own audience takes time, elbow grease, and hutzpah. Borrowing other people's audiences is like a rocket boost. And before you say "why would anyone want ME to speak to their audience?"..... let me say this: People with podcasts WANT guests People with events WANT opening acts and keynotes People with communities WANT to bring in folks who can help their members in other ways What you have to offer is incredibly valuable. Quit hiding it! This Tuesday, my Classifieds VIP bestie @Traci Poe and I bring you our YEARSSSS of mistakes (ahem, experience) so you can Step Up to the Mic: Find & Land Speaking Gigs. It will be a fun 90 minutes. (More fun than should be allowed on Tuesdays, quite frankly.) Will you be in the room with us?

It's that time again, and I hope you've marked your calendars! On Friday, some of our VIP members will be hosting our much-loved drop-in session called the WATER COOLER. What is it? A chance to drop in (and out, and maybe in again) to a casual coffee chat in order to meet fellow CLASSIFIEDS members. Whether you are new to Skool or are looking to connect with more people, this is a great opportunity to get to know people on a more human level - no pitching, no selling, no facades, just human connection (because aren't we all just craving a little more old fashioned conversation these days?!?!?). Check out the schedule below to learn more about the theme of each hour and then drop in and out as your schedule allows! Oh, and please check the calendar for the exact times in your time zone... First hour: @Traci Poe of the Public Speaker's Growth Hub is hosting "Let's Just Chat" Second hour: @Faith Adebayo of Your Skool Building Bestie is hosting "Get Found For Free" Third hour: @Liisa Reimann of Funnel Forensics is hosting " Confessions and Connections: Swap stories about community ownership - the funny, the hard, the surprising, and the just plain weird." Fourth Hour: @Diana Frank of Unfair Advantage is hosting "The ONE Thing - Can you do it?" Fifth Hour: @Nathaniel Parant of Light Heart Vision Skool is hosting TBD. Think of it like your opportunity to take a break from work, walk over to the water cooler to grab a drink, and connect with some colleagues!
