This FREE professional public speaker training is perfect for you if:

You identify as a woman-—and here’s why that matters.
Less than 30% of paid keynote speakers are women, yet 75% of audiences actively seek diverse, authentic female voices. We created this masterclass to close that gap—so your perspective gets the stage it deserves.
You have a story that needs to be heard.
Your life experiences—wins, failures, and everything in between—add up to a message someone out there desperately needs. We’ll help you distill that story into one signature “Chef’s Special” talk, so planners see you as a must-book solution.

You want to get paid to speak—soon.
Forget the myth that you need six months of email marketing or a huge following before you earn your first speaking fee. We’ll show you exactly where to find organizations that pay $500–$10K+ for fresh, authentic voices—so you can have real conversations with real event planners this week.
