In the past, I ran a special challenge to help speakers book paid (or free) speaking gigs, FAST. It might sound unbelievable, but most participants managed to secure 2–5 speaking gigs in just 5 days. Over 200 speakers joined that challenge, and to launch this community in the best way possible (and to personally thank each of you for being here), I’d like us to run the same proven activities again, this time in a smaller, more focused group. My hope is that the results will be even better. If you’re up for the challenge, drop a comment below. And if you know other speakers or aspiring speakers who’d benefit from booking more gigs, feel free to invite them into the community.

When I booked my very first talk, I wasn’t thinking about “building a speaking career.” I just wanted to share the knowledge and tools that have helped me, and practically changed my life, I thought that if a few people walked away with even a minor shift in how they saw the world, it would be worth it. What I didn’t expect was how much it would change me. That talk led to conversations I could never have planned, clients I never would have met, and a kind of credibility that opened doors I didn’t even know existed. Since then, I’ve seen it happen again and again, not just for me, but for so many coaches, experts, and everyday people with a message worth hearing. That’s why I started this group: so we can share our stories, learn from each other’s journeys, and find opportunities together. No pretending, no “fake it till you make it”, just real people, using their voice to make a difference. So let’s start here. Just share in the comments what was the moment you realised that you want to be on stage?
