How Much Should You Charge for Speaking? A Strategic Guide to Setting Your Speaker Fee with Confidence

One of the most common questions I hear from aspiring and experienced speakers alike is: “What should I charge for a speaking engagement?”

It’s not usually the speaking itself that feels hard. It’s putting a number on it.

In this episode of the Confident Speaker Podcast, I walk you through how to determine your speaker fee in a way that feels grounded, strategic, and confident — not awkward or random. Pricing isn’t about guessing or copying what someone else charges. It’s about understanding your value and positioning yourself accordingly.

I invite you to write down your starting fee — even if you’ve never said it out loud before. Practice stating it. Say it until it feels natural. Because each time you confidently share your fee, you reinforce your identity as a thought leader who gets paid for her expertise.

Getting paid to speak isn’t just about income. It’s about ownership. It’s about stepping fully into your authority.

And you are more ready than you think.
