A 5-DAY BOOTCAMP
to turn YOUR STORY into a SIGNATURE TALK that
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 a huge opportunity. She realized.
‘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:
Women underestimate the value of their lived experience while audiences, event planners, and entire industries are hungry for it.Their backgrounds, perspectives, and paths... that’s what makes them in demand.
Speaking doesn't change your story. It simply gives you the structure to share it.
Women Who Joined Are Now Getting Paid,
Booked, and Noticed.
From unsure to unstoppable:
“I have to say, Mic Drop has been everything + more for getting my speaking dreams off the ground. Thank you for creating this!”
Bailie White
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.
From “I think I have a story…” to “I know exactly" what I speak on and why they’ll pay me.
This bootcamp is paced on purpose.
Each day builds on the last: a live session to learn, time afterward to do the work, and community feedback
whenever you need it.

to show up when women are
