Some of you have asked about how to get started as a paid speaker. Tonight i breakdown how I am actually starting "over" practicing the same thing I teach you.

S/O to @Constance Jones for joining tonight's practice seat. We spent the first few minutes talking about how to use AI to prepare for your next engagement. Then we closed out with insight on how to become a paid speaker (thought leader). If you want to be paid to speak, i invite you to use this prompt in your AI tool of choice: I am a (insert the topic you speak on) speaker with (insert description of experience). I want to be paid (insert your desired fee). What steps can I immediately take to position myself as an authority in my lane? What conferences should be on my radar? What type of networking events should I participate in to build my credibility? Poll Question: Do you currently use AI to support your speaking needs?

Morning. Okay, so I am trying not to panic. 🫣 My sorority asked me to do a keynote for our local chapter's Kwanzaa presentation and they sent the run of show and they've allotted 35 minutes. This was not part of the original conversation, and I outlined for 15 minutes. The keynote is this Saturday. I think this 35 minutes is too long for a Kwanzaa luncheon for our scholarship awardees, ages 18-21. (Am I wrong?) They are attending with their parents, so there will be about 50 attendees. (But instead of spiraling and complaining, I just want to shift to accommodate this change.) Theme: Own the Journey: Discovering the Strength in Our Stories. I was already planning to make this interactive, but now it's like how do get the crowd back to focus after the interactive elements? I am concerned about losing the room. Thx, Taiia
