Does the word "networking" make you want to hide? I get it. But for us, networking isn't about awkward business card exchanges. It's about building an Advocacy Circle. Here is how you build yours naturally: First, try a Speaker Swap. Connect with people in different niches and refer clients to each other. Second, utilize the "Post-Event Thank You." Drop an email to the other speakers from your last gig to build on that shared experience. Finally, simply Be a Resource. Send an interesting article or a lead to an event planner with "no strings attached." The bottom line is that your network is your "net worth" in this industry. Focus on who you can help, and the bookings will follow.

We’ve had some fantastic conversations lately on our weekly Inspiring Talks Zoom calls, and we have started posting short video clips from those sessions on our YouTube channel. These clips capture some of the best insights, ideas, and breakthroughs shared by our members — from speaking strategy to mindset shifts to practical ways to grow your speaking business. Here's a short clip from one of our calls that you may benefit from watching: https://youtu.be/UACcJqUhtOE?si=LABlTanDl1zjQxx2 We encourage you to: • Watch the clips we send each week and revisit the key moments from the calls, and then watch the full Zoom videos of our weekly calls, all of which are posted in the community • Share them with your network if you think they’ll benefit others • Invite colleagues and fellow speakers to join our growing community • Join our upcoming weekly Zoom calls so you can participate live and be part of the conversation Every week the discussions get richer and more valuable, as experienced speakers, coaches, trainers and branded experts contribute their perspectives and real-world experiences.

My son used to talk about "levelling up." He didn't get older each year, he levelled up. I can remember him clearly stating on his 17th birthday that he now had to "act like a 17 year old" because he wasn't 16 anymore. He had levelled up. This came to me this morning as I looked at the day's agenda. Activities I do now on the reg were mere wishes even just 5 years ago. And the woman who dared to chase her crazy dream by starting a business 15 years ago? Yeah, I don't think she even had a CLUE what my life would be like now. I have levelled up as anyone who has been doing something for 15 years should, which brings me to today's question for you to consider. Have you levelled up in some way or are you still existing exactly as you did 10 or 20 years ago? Are you taking full advantage of your increased wisdom and knowledge gained over the years, or playing small, choosing the known over all you could actually do? I pray you are standing on the peak of the mountain you used to look up at. I pray you are staring at the results of your hard work. And I pray you are vowing to keep going. The journey isn't over yet, after all. You are still here. There are still things to do, people to impact, and legacy to build. So join me, my friend. Today and everyday, let's choose to LEVEL UP! I love you! HUGSSSSSSS Sandi
