Your Guide to Becoming a Paid Speaker

 

Jess’s first speaking gig paid her in pizza, literally. 

But the feedback from her talk sparked something bigger.


‘Wait… people want to hear my story. 
Maybe there’s something here.’ 



She followed that spark.

And now she speaks 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 next 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.

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. 

When Women Step Up,
Audiences Show Up.

Audiences respond more when women are on stage. Event planners know it.

Budgets already exist.

32%
of public speakers are women but demand is much higher
76%
of attendees say they’re more likely to show up when women are featured speakers

 

Paid public speaking is an open lane for women

who know how to position their message

PAY EQUITY: I spoke at a major statewide conference this year, and learned that the (white male) keynote speaker was paid SEVEN TIMES more than me. Fun (and ironic) fact: the conference evaluations showed that my talk was ranked #1 and considered "them most helpful" by conference attendees. I’ve got some work to do to reach my goal of being “paid abundantly”, in equal measure to my value as a speaker. This light a 🔥🔥🔥🔥 in me.
