A LIVE, SPEAKING BOOTCAMP
that turns YOUR STORY into a SIGNATURE TALK which
CONNECTS and gets you BOOKED.
All you need is your lived experience and the clarity that happens
fast when you are guided through the right framework.
Your Guide to Becoming a Paid Speaker
Jess’s first speaking gig paid her in pizza, literally.
But the feedback from her first talk sparked something bigger.
‘Wait… people want to hear my story.
They aren't just listening... they are leaning in.’
That moment planted the seed for what would eventually become a global speaking career.
Along the way, Jess has earned:
A FORBES feature as a top-rated speaker —
a distinction given to a small group of speakers whose work is shaping the industry.
Recognition from LINKEDIN as a Top Public
Speaking Voice — an honor awarded to a select group
of creators whose insights influence millions.
1M+ views on her TEDx TALK — a milestone less
than 1% of TEDx speakers ever reach.
But her next breakthrough didn't come from the accolades. It came when she realized something important:
Most women underestimate the value of their lived experience while audiences, event planners, and entire industries are hungry for it.
So in 2018, Jess created Mic Drop Workshop®, a company founded to help women build paid speaking careers.
Inside this Bootcamp, Jess will
Women Who Join Are Getting Noticed, Booked, and Paid.
Finally feels doable:
“I have to say, Mic Drop has been everything + more for getting my speaking dreams off the ground. Thank you for creating this!”

One talk opens the door:
"I gave a workshop and my talk went so well they offered me the opportunity to return the following year as the keynote.”

Real stages. Real fees. Real Results:
This is what it looks like when women stop underpricing their experience—and start treating their voice like the asset it is.
This Bootcamp is Paced on Purpose
From “I think I have a story…” to “I know exactly what I speak about —
and why audiences will pay to hear it.”
Each day builds on the last: a live session to learn, time afterward to do the work, and community feedback
when you need it.

For the Woman Who:
Knows she’s ready for the next level.
Is done talking herself out of opportunities.
Has something to say and is ready to say it
Your message matters —
and the industry is ready for it.
Build a talk that that puts shape and direction around your story, amplifies your voice, and helps shift the numbers for women in the speaking world.
When women step up,
audiences show up.
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
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.
