    Ep 330 - Stop Saying Yes to Every Speaking Opportunity

    Ep 330 - Stop Saying Yes to Every Speaking Opportunity

    There’s this misconception out there that a busy speaker is a successful speaker. You see someone booking all the podcast interviews, getting all the media attention, and speaking at all the events, and you think, “Dang, that speaker’s made it. They know what they’re doing!”
    But that’s not always the case. Trust me, I work with some of these speakers. And so many of them come to me in a panic because they dropped tons of money booking these engagements and aren’t seeing results. Or they’re getting attention, but no sales or leads.
    That’s what happens when you say yes to speaking opportunities that aren’t right for you. You can accomplish so much more by saying no! Let’s talk about what that means below.

    Ep 229 - Start Speaking with Podcasts (as a Host or a Guest)

    “As a beginner speaker, you have to get on stage. Traditional speaking events are the only way to go.” Have you heard this idea before? Is it something you believed before you started speaking? Well, friends…it’s not true.
    Speaking does not always mean you have to get a spot in a conference with thousands of attendees. There are so many unconventional speaking opportunities that are actually better fits for beginner speakers! And one of those opportunities that I always recommend to clients? Podcasting.
    Yes, you can start speaking with podcasts, either as a host or a guest. Find out how (and why) below.

    Ep 228 - Choose Your Adventure: Three Paths to Profitable Speaking

    What’s the key to making speaking work for your business? Well, not just work. It can help your business grow, help you make an impact on the world, and help you create the life you’ve always wanted.
    The key is to figure out the path to successful speaking that’s best for you. If you don’t — and you jump into speaking without understanding your strategy first — speaking can quickly become this extra task on your plate that’s not getting you results.
    Luckily, I’ve mapped out the three paths to profitable speaking for you below! Which path will you choose?

    Ep 227 - How to Prioritize Yourself and Your Speaking Journey in 2024

    Ep 227 - How to Prioritize Yourself and Your Speaking Journey in 2024

    As a business owner, it’s easy to get into the habit of putting everything and everyone else first. You keep serving your clients, helping them accomplish their goals, and grow their businesses. What you want, like speaking, gets put on the back burner.
    I see this happen all the time with our clients. And I do the exact same thing. I’ve spent so much time helping my clients move forward on their speaking journey (which I love) but I haven’t spent enough time on my own speaking platform!
    It’s time we changed that. It’s time to prioritize yourself in 2024.

    Ep 226 - Should You Pay to Speak (or Even Pay to Apply)?

    Ep 226 - Should You Pay to Speak (or Even Pay to Apply)?

    A friend recently reached out to me and asked if she should pay to speak at a certain event. When I realized I had been invited to speak at that same event the night before — without being required to pay — I found out that paying to speak was now a thing. And I needed to talk about it on the podcast.
    This episode is not meant to bash the whole pay to speak method, or make you feel bad if you’ve tried it. I want to bring light to things that are happening in the speaking industry so that you have the information you need to make your own decisions.
    With that being said…let’s dive in.

    Ep 225 - What to Do About Speaking in 2024 If You’re Pivoting Your Business

    Ep 225 - What to Do About Speaking in 2024 If You’re Pivoting Your Business

    Recently I was thinking of an old business friend for a potential speaking opportunity when I realized something: I hadn’t “seen” them online in a while. Which isn’t uncommon on social media with algorithms that are always changing. But when I looked them up, I found that they were doing something completely different with their business.
    This happens more than you think. (Hello, 2020.) If you’re pivoting your business or have shifted it already, you need to make sure your speaking strategy can sustain the change.

Love the transpanecy

I listened to Jessica’s episode about closing her coaching business and I must say I enjoyed the episode. She was so transparent and also going with what feel right. Many times in business we go with what other people tell us to do but you have to create your business around your life not your life around your business

I love Jessica’s conversational style and she’s my biggest motivator for keeping going. I’m so glad I found this!!!
