Cam, I'm taking a course at Conestoga, I am hearing that many profs are being let go come January and many of them feel as though they want to become Speakers - I will certainly send all I know your way ;) that said, how do you feel this will impact our market? I'm in the DEI kind of sector - but yah...any thoughts?

The opportunities that we face will never be in the same way again take advantage of what’s in front of you and go forward

There is no magic to it. “Who you know” gets you ONE paid gig per year It’s the relentless follow up, chasing, showing value, showing up, learning, growing, improving that builds your speaking business. @Christina Daves had a great question. How do you actually get high paid gigs? (See image) Every speaker I’ve met making $15,000+ per event is a savage at meeting people. Quick story. A few years back, I was at a marketing conference and the speaker (who wasn’t that great) shared how he got on the stage. He found the event planner’s image online and created a comic strip featuring that person and built an entirely custom website around it featuring that person. They ate it up. That’s the lengths you need to go to get on your dream stage. Btw. 3 people signed up for the new booking agency service. 2 more spots are probably gone today. My team and I will handle all the grunt work: finding conferences, leads, email setup, outreach, follow up so all YOU have to do is show up. DM me if you want more details on the program.
