371: What to Include in Your Speaker Video Reel and Speaker Page [Level Up Your Speaking Series]

We’re continuing our podcast series to help you Level Up Your Speaking in 2024.

As you work to build your speaker brand and begin applying and pitching to speak at more events and conferences, there are two things that will be helpful for you to have - one is a speaker video reel and the other is a speaker page on your website.

You want to make sure your speaker reel and your speaker page showcase you in the best light and attract event organizers to book you (and pay you!).

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why you need a speaker video reel and how you can use it
• Tips for creating an effective speaker reel that helps you reach your speaking goals
• Specific things to include in your speaker reel so that it showcases you in the best possible light
• Why you need a speaking page on your website
• The key ingredients you should include on your speaker page
• One thing in particular to include on your speaker page that’s a bit controversial
• See examples of speaker reels and speaker pages on the show notes at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/371/

If you want to get video of you speaking that you can use for your speaker reel and on your speaker page, then come to our 3-day in-person client retreat in February in Orlando.

You’ll go through exercises and trainings to help you be a stronger and more impactful speaker and you’ll get hands on feedback on your delivery, storytelling, stage presence, and more.

On Day 3, you get professional filming of the speaking segments you’ve been practicing on our stage and you get an edited video for your speaker reel.

Become Bookable Live Online Workshop - April 15, 2026
If you want to speak more but you’re not sure where to start or your efforts haven’t produced the results you want, I’m hosting a live online workshop called “Become Bookable: How to Get Speaking Invitations” on Wednesday, April 15th.

A lot of brilliant women assume they just need to pitch themselves more. But the real reason speakers get invited isn’t because they pitch harder — it’s because they’re positioned as bookable.

In this 3-hour interactive workshop live on Zoom, I’ll show you how speakers actually get invited — and help you clarify the positioning that makes event organizers say yes.
