Jess Ekstrom Speak on Stage Bootcamp

Hi, I’m Jess Ekstrom

My first speaking gig?
IT PAID ME IN PIZZA.

Now I’m a 7-figure keynote speaker, bestselling author, and founder of Mic Drop Workshop—where thousands of women have crafted their signature talks and gotten paid to speak.

Jess Ekstrom Speaking on Stage at 7 months pregnant

But it didn’t start that way…

2016
I got booked because they “needed a woman” on stage

2017
I rented the basement of a restaurant to teach a handful of women how to own the mic.

2018
I turned that into a course—and Mic Drop Workshop was born.

TODAY
Mic Drop Workshop is now the go-to place for women to launch their public speaking career and for events to book powerful women speakers!

Today, I help thousands of women who want to lead with their voice—on stages, in their business, and in their everyday lives.

You’ve got ideas.💡 You’ve got heart. 💖

You’ve probably shared your voice – on a podcast, at a retreat, in a group call, or even on instagram.

😵‍💫   You second-guess what to say (or whether to say it at all)
 🎤  You fumble through your intro—because it changes every time
 🔁  You keep saying yes to free gigs that go nowhere
 🧠  You overthink every post, pitch, or podcast
 😔  And deep down? You’re wondering if your story is even worth telling

Let me say this clearly:
YOUR STORY IS ABSOLUTELY WORTH TELLING.

You don’t need a “big” story. You need a clear one.

One that connects. Converts. And actually gets you booked.

“I’m so grateful a friend shared this Bootcamp with me. It’s exactly what I needed to finally go after speaking.”

Colleen Hilla Guerriero

“This Bootcamp was life-changing and deeply affirming. If I don’t speak now, when will the right time come? If not now, how many people might miss the chance to hear my story?”

What Women Who
Work With Me Say

Still wondering if this is for you?

Let’s make it easy.

🎯 This Bootcamp is for you if:

You’ve got a story, idea, or message—but don’t know how to shape it into something clear

You’ve spoken before (or never!) and want a repeatable talk you’re proud of

You’re building a business, growing your audience, or just ready to stop winging it

You want your message to do more than inspire—you want it to convert

You’re ready to stop speaking for free (or feeling lost in the DMs)

🛑 But here’s what happens if you don’t start now:

You keep winging it every time someone hands you the mic

You keep second-guessing what to say when you show up online

You keep giving away your voice for free—when it’s worth so much more

You could keep waiting.

Or you could finally shape your story into a talk that opens doors, lands clients, and builds your brand.

This Isn’t Just About One Talk – It’s About Changing the Stats.

Women belong on more stages. In more rooms. With bigger mics.
 But the numbers? Still don’t reflect that reality:

70%

of women who’ve spoken on a panel report being the only woman on it 

Only

32%

of public speakers are women

76%

of attendees say they’re more likely to show up when women are featured speakers

It’s not just time to fix that.
It’s time to lead the change.

When you join the Speak on Stage Bootcamp, you’re not just building your talk—you’re becoming part of a movement to put more powerful, purposeful women on stages, podcasts, panels, and platforms where decisions are made and lives are changed.
