Hi folks, Think creating a coaching program has to take months? Not at all. You can outline and launch a premium offer in just one weekend. Here’s how: The Weekend Coaching Offer Sprint Saturday: - Identify your niche and transformation. - Map out your 3- or 6-step framework. - Decide on group or 1:1 delivery. - Choose a name and a price that reflects the value. Sunday: - Draft a simple landing page or slide deck. - Create a 3-minute voice note or video that explains the offer. - Email your list or message 10 past clients or event organizers to offer early access. Speaker Tip of the Week 🎤 Speed is your friend. Clarity comes from taking action—not from overthinking. Coming up: Mastering the Speaker One-Pager Onward, Inspiring Speakers Bureau Fueling Your Voice. Growing Your Reach.

Don't add more to your plate. Take AWAY that old identity that does not believe in your success. Take AWAY those habits that undermine your hard work. Take AWAY everything and anyone that does not serve you. And get REALLY GOOD at saying "No" to yourself (when bad habits and old identities creep in). You got this! Love ya! Sandi

Something different today for you, my speaker friend. Every day in my own Skool community, I post the day's entry from my first book, Honorary Indian Decolonized. Today's entry made me think of each of you, so I thought I would repost it here (along with the flashback video I shared with my followers). Enjoy! _________________________________________ We have all heard them. They tell us to live in the present, to plan for the future, but to NEVER ever live in the past. I agree wholeheartedly but sometimes, just sometimes, I think we need to go for a brief stroll through the doors of yesterday … It’s amazing how different the past looks when gazed upon with the knowledge and experience of today. Pain that threatened to destroy is but a memory in present day light. Joys that we wanted to last forever are now pleasant memories, and trials we thought insurmountable are … done. And look at US, my how we have changed! We wear our wisdom so well, like a well-cut suit, and the knowing smile of experience is so becoming. No, we are not as young, yet we have gained self-knowledge, and nothing is more attractive than that. Yes, a brief walk is good. Beware of the temptation to stay! For this was never meant to be. We belong in the present, planning for our future, but we should never hesitate to travel back, to once again review and learn from the past. Bonus content - a video of mine "from the past". Enjoy! (And for those who are wondering, the book is available on Amazon.) Love ya! Sandi

If there is one thing that my 16 years in business has taught me, it is that adaptation is everything. After all, I have shown up to do a full day event, and ended up only having 3 hours to speak (at the full price because their changes, not mine). And I have shown up to do a keynote only to find out the other speakers cancelled, so can I feel in the full day? (Why yes, yes I can. I can access all my seminars on my laptop. What topic would you like me to speak on?) I have shown up to find out I was speaking in a FIELD rather than a community hall and I have shown up to find out I was speaking to more than 1,000 when I thought it was a group of 30. And yesterday, when we discussed there was a typo in the ad that had gone out, mistakenly telling people our event was starting at 1 instead of 10, we adapted. It turned out to be a great event. They all did because it isn't about control. It is about being able to dance in the rain, being able to meet the needs of those that hire you (even when they change) leaving them THRILLED they chose to work with you (while majorly increasing the chances they hire you again). Just dance, my speaker friends. Just dance. Love ya! Sandi

We never know when a ghost will appear to dance on our dreams. Perhaps a follower challenges your beliefs/words, and you feel like the insecure student you once were, being questioned by an aggressive teacher. Perhaps it is an aggressive audience member who sends you back to the days when you faced aggression as a daily norm. Or perhaps it is a location. For me, it is the latter. Staying in an "apartment" of sorts reminds me of far too many nights in the home of family or friends, seeking safety from my home life that was anything but. Simply put, I don't like it here. I don't like the ghosts it invokes but no matter, my brain and body know I am not that woman anymore and that is no longer my life. My home is a place of sanctuary now, of healing and happiness and I will return there again tonight after my event. Ghosts be damned. So my speaker friend, recognize when it is a ghost of life past rearing its head. Not fact, not who you are now, not who they are now. It's just a ghost. Dance with it until it is exhausted then get back to the business of speaking. I love you! HUGSSSSSSSS Sandi
