GET IN THE GAME

Speaking Program

Master the art of storytelling.

Course Description

We are living in an age where experience and know-how are often replaced by staged Instagram posts with creative captions. Everywhere you look there’s another speaker program ran by someone who isn’t speaking professionally and geared to try to teach you how to do so. The promise of more gigs than you can count, freedom of schedule, and all the abundance you can squeeze on to your vision board is advertised with the fury of a super bowl commercial. So what do you do? You sign up and realize that in this case experience and know how is essential to teaching others how to become more effective speakers. 

There is so much more involved in speaking than most people think. It’s not just about getting gigs. It’s about having the ability to organize your story, deliver your story, develop your stage presence, and of course marketing your services in a way that doesn’t make you sound like you’re selling used cars. Without the basic fundamentals even if you somehow get lucky enough to get a gig, you won’t be invited back.

I am currently in my 10th year of speaking professionally all over the world. I am my booking agent, marketing director, secretary, hype man, and speaker’s coach. My first year and a half of speaking I didn’t get paid a dime to do what I’m doing. It’s been years of figuring it out, and constant repetition that has helped me create the business I have today. One of my major missions is to help inspiring speakers tell their story, and hopefully get hired in doing so. 

My Get In The Game Program is in its third year. It’s a live class once a week that we do online for a total of ten weeks. You will also have four individual (15min) coaching sessions to help sharpen your tools. At the end of the course some of you will be selected to speak in our speaker slam on the day of our Positivity Summit.

In this course we will also be covering how to start your book, getting booked on podcast, or creating your very own podcast. 

We cannot accept more than ten students per class so sign up today!!
