A 4-DAY 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 that moment sparked something bigger .
‘Wait… people want to hear my story.
Maybe there’s something here.’
She followed that spark.
Over the next decade she has spoken
on stages around the world, earning premium speaker fees and industry-recognized accolades, including:
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 biggest breakthrough didn't come from the accolades. It came when she realized this:
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 walk you through the exact steps to becoming a paid speaker, even if you're just starting.
Women Who Joined Are Getting Paid,
Booked, and Noticed.
Finally feels doable:
“Jess breaks down the process so simply and in such a relatable way! I was stopping myself from getting started due to the perceived time needed to succeed and this gave me the tactical tools where it felt approachable within my time constraints!”
Katie Loesch
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.”
Tradara McLaurine
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.

Still Wondering if This is For You?
Let’s make it easy.
If you feel the nudge to speak, this bootcamp is your evidence that it’s time.
This Bootcamp IS for you if:
You’ve got a story, idea, or message—but don’t know how to shape it into something clearYou’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 itYou want your message to do more than inspire—you want it to convertYou’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 moreYour 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.
Your’e not just learning to speak, you’re helping change the industry.
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.
