Speaking Strategies That Create Lasting Impact: Live Signature Talks from Our Thought Leader Academy Grads

Speaking Strategies That Create Lasting Impact: Live Signature Talks from Our Thought Leader Academy Grads

What’s the difference between a presentation people forget in five minutes… and a talk that quietly reshapes how someone thinks, decides, and acts for months afterward?

It’s not more information and it’s not prettier slides (although pretty slides are nice!).


This episode is the audio from our Back Stage with Speaking Your Brand live show, where you’ll experience two powerful examples of what happens when purposeful storytelling meets clear, actionable frameworks - the core of every transformational signature talk.


Erin Mark and Deborah Stine, recent graduates of our Thought Leader Academy, each delivered a 10-minute version of the keynote signature talks they created during their VIP Day with us and refined throughout the program.

You’ll hear:

  • Two real signature talks delivered by our Thought Leader Academy graduates
  • The difference between informational speaking and transformational speaking, especially important for keynotes
  • How your message can position you as a thought leader
  • What makes a talk memorable and actionable
  • What they learned in the Thought Leader Academy and what’s next for them

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.
