Register for Our New Free Live Training: The 3 Key Elements You Need to Go from Commodity Speaker to Thought Leader

We have a new free LIVE training happening on Tuesday, August 16!

Register today for free at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/training/.

If I take a look at your slide deck or presentation outline and I can’t tell that the content is yours (vs. another speaker on your topic), you’re in danger of being a commodity speaker.

Commodity speakers are undifferentiated and interchangeable.

It will be harder for you to attract higher-profile speaking engagements, raise your speaking fees, and generate quality leads at your presentations.

What you want instead is for your content to position you as a thought leader. You will have a much bigger impact on your audiences and your speaking will be an effective marketing channel and revenue stream in your business.

How do you know if you’re in the commodity speaker category? What can you do to position yourself as a thought leader?

Attend our free live training on "Speaking for Income & Impact: The 3 Key Elements You Need (and What’s Getting In Your Way) to Go from Commodity Speaker to Thought Leader."

Register at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/training/.

You'll learn:

  • The moment I recognized I was a commodity speaker and what that had cost me
  • The changes I made, the results I got, and what I learned that surprised me
  • 3 key elements you need to go from commodity speaker to thought leader
  • What’s getting in your way from making this shift, including some tough love about all the time and energy you’re spending on social media
  • 3 things you can do now to start making this shift to thought leadership
  • Examples of how our Thought Leader Academy clients have shifted from commodity speakers to thought leaders

Join your host Carol Cox of Speaking Your Brand for this webinar.

Be sure to ATTEND LIVE so you can ask questions and get our special bonus.

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.
