YOU HAVE A MESSAGE THE WORLD NEEDS TO HEAR.Â
WE HAVE A PROVEN FORMULA TO MAKE THAT HAPPEN.
Â
(THE TIME IS NOWÂ TO TAKE A POWERFUL STEP FORWARD IN YOUR SPEAKING CAREER!)
ENROLL NOW
You’ve no doubt have life experiences that left you thinking, “Other people should know this. This could be helpful to SO MANY PEOPLE.” And then you stopped, unsure of what to do with that life story.Â
OR,
You’ve been to the event where some high paid presenter was on stage just killing it (and probably a few where the presenter was bombing) – and thought to yourself, “that should be me up there.” You might’ve even made a mental note to reach out to the conference organizer… but never did. Â
THAT IS WHERE SPEAKER LAUNCHPAD COMES IN...
We KNOW there are conferences, agencies, companies, and associations eager to hear your message, and we want to help you land those engagements, deliver a powerful message, and impact thousands of people every year.
(And get paid WELL to do so.)
Yeah, but what about…Â
This is something you’ve been thinking about for some time now, but the following may be holding you back…
✔  Getting that perfect talk formulated – you’ve been rolling around the exact words to say and it’s keeping you in neutral.
✔  No one would actually pay me to do this, would they? One of the greatest extinguishers of passion is doubt. And most of the time, the doubt is just disguised fear.
✔ I wouldn’t even know the first place to start. Yes, neither did we. But we figured it out and now we’ll help you do the very same.Â
✔ My story isn’t that interesting, or is it? If you have friends that convince you to retell the same stories, it’s interesting. Plus, there are incredible lessons to be learned from the most basic stories imaginable.Â
✔ Is it worth investing in myself to make this happen? There’s a big difference between taking a calculated risk and being risky. Just taking action is a calculated risk if you love the idea of speaking. The ROI could be immeasurable.
✔ What if I fail? Yes, what if. But what if you regret never trying for the rest of your life. Which is more painful?
Through the Speaker Launchpad process, you will fast track the creation of a talk that converts, master your marketing and booking process, and confidently launch your speaking career.Â
By streamlining the beginning processes, you’ll shorten the learning curve that most speakers take years (or decades) to go through.Â
