030: How to Become a Sought-After, Stand-Out Speaker

Here’s the problem I see with many of the presentations and workshops I attend:

Too much impersonal information and data, not enough personal stories and connection.

Or, to put it even more simply:

Too much Wikipedia, not enough people.

In this episode, I share examples of how you can create presentations that are personal and memorable for your audience and how, by having a signature talk, you create consistency with your message.

I pulled the audio from the online training I recently did because I got such great feedback from the women who attended.

I talk about the 3 C’s of Stand-Out Speaking:

• Consistency: Having a signature message and talk that you become known for
• Connection: Making your talk personal and memorable for your audience
• Context: Using story structure and the hero's journey so your presentation is relevant and relatable

Use the examples and strategies I share to make your presentations more impactful and get the results you're looking for.

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.
