Hi folks, What if we told you some of the best speaker coaches out there built six-figure businesses without spending a dime on ads? You can too. Here’s how you build a zero-cost funnel: The 3-Step Speaker Funnel That Doesn’t Cost a Cent 1. Host a free, live online event every month. Think masterclass, roundtable, or Q&A. 2. Promote it organically: Email your list, post on LinkedIn, create short posts with value and a link to register. 3. Follow up personally with attendees. Ask what they’re working on. Offer a paid coaching solution if it’s a good fit. Speaker Tip of the Week 🎤 Coaching clients rarely buy from a sales page. They buy from your voice, your energy, and your clarity. Go live. Be real. Build trust fast. Next up: Turning Your Keynote into Monthly Revenue Speak soon, Inspiring Speakers Bureau Fueling Your Voice. Growing Your Reach.

I’m grateful for the journey and excited to share this recent milestone: Out of over 3,000 applicants, I was selected as one of the Top 100 speakers in Season 2 of The Next Top Speaker. 🙌 Though I didn’t advance further this season, something powerful happened. A judge from Season 1—where I also placed in the Top 100—personally reached out to tell me:💬 “You nailed it. Your timing was great and your message was impactful.” That affirmation reminded me that with every opportunity to speak, I grow. Each stage sharpens my skills, builds my confidence, and deepens my experience. And yes… I can now officially say I shared the stage with Russell Brunson, Richmond Dinh, Kaley Chu & Phyllis Song! 🎤🔥 Every opportunity is training ground for the next. Every step, no matter how small, is progress. And I’m choosing to celebrate this one with gratitude. 💜 👉 My encouragement to you: keep showing up, keep speaking, keep growing. Someone is waiting for your voice. Never forget your voice, your voice is your superpower! #YourVoiceMatters #YourVoiceIsYourSuperpower #InspiringSpeakers #WalkingInALOHA #VoicesOfALOHA

Aloha Everyone! I’ve been busy… I made it to the Top 100 in the Next Top Speaker Tournament out of Australia with Kaley Chu and Richmond Dihn. There was over a 1000 applicants, then it went to about 400 video interviews, then Top 100. From there it was an all day event; the first 100 went in groups of 10, then to 50, then to 10 then to the Top 3 and out of the 3 the Next Top Speaker was selected. I went as far as competing in the groups of 10 in the Top 100 but that was it. It’s ok though, I may not have won but I gained the experience that it will take to become the Next Top Speaker. I don’t get a lot of opportunities to speak so this was a great experience. I recognized that my speech didn’t stay on topic and I should’ve reiterated the topic point more times throughout my speech. It was a seven minute speech. I need to learn more and practice more so I can get clearer on the message (I think there’s parts I can omit) work on the flow and watch my timing.

Aloha everyone! I’m Michelle A. G. Ebalaroza Kawano—author, speaker, creative coach, and proud native of Hawai‘i. I thought writing Walking In ALOHA; 5 Steps to Living Your God Potential Life was the assignment—but God showed me it was just the beginning. Now, I’m asked to speak… something I’m very uncomfortable with. I’ve been invited on podcasts, interviewed on TV, even on the red carpet, and featured in FORCE Magazine. I help others rise from fear and doubt, rediscover their voice, and live their God potential life through my ALOHA Always framework—rooted in Christ and built on Affirmations & Actions, Leadership & Love, Overcoming Obstacles, Health & Healing, and Acute Awareness. Because you don’t know what you don’t know, I’m currently training to become a certified speaker and transformational facilitator with Lisa Nichols, and I’m learning storytelling and presence through Kaley Chu’s Speak & Write program. I wish I found you earlier, you provide so much value! I also joined this group because I love the closeness of community—and I believe iron sharpens iron. I’m also growing my podcast, Walking In ALOHA; Let’s Talk Story, and I’d love to invite you to be a guest! It’s a safe space to share your story, connect, and even practice your speaking voice as we grow together. It’ll help me with my speaking also! The best place to find me? Facebook: Michelle A. G.
