109: How to Put On a Winning Workshop with Carol Cox and Diane Diaz

This episode is jam-packed with what you need to know to put on your own paid workshop.

I recently co-hosted a workshop on Personal Branding and Visibility with Diane Diaz, founder of The Brand Teacher and a Speaking Your Brand coach.

From deciding on the topic and price to selling seats to determining the agenda, we lay it all out for you, so you can successfully put on your own paid workshop.

We talk about:

• Deciding on the topic and content based on who your ideal clients are and your offer
• Determining the best pricing for the workshop
• Partnering with a local business for the venue
• Selling: What works - and what doesn’t work - when selling workshops
• Why we chose to do a 1/2-day (not full day) workshop and have it in the morning
• The results we got

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.
