Episode Synopsis

These are two of the questions I get more and more frequently: ‘Can I come and speak on your stage?’ and ‘How did you get that gig?’. So today I’m going to share with you what the biggest turn-offs are when people ask me if they can speak on my stages and what I have done to build up my speaking credibility and receive more invitations.HighlightsThe first turn-off when it comes to asking if you can speak on someone’s stage – if they have no idea who you are and you just say ‘I’m going to be on your stage!’ [1:48]The second turn-off – if you don’t have a live speaking experience [4:39]What can you do to get invitations on someone else’s stage, or to get a ‘yes’ when you pitch somebody to be on their stage? [7:13]Practise talking and hone your stories [7:33]Make the mindset shift [8:48]Put on your own events [9:46]Invest in other people’s programmes, go to their live events and keep in touch with them [12:37]Get the video footage and photos of you speaking [14:48]Write a book [16:06]Be great at what you do [17:04]Pick your friends and business buddies wisely and be authentic [17:58] Share your successes and lessons in the groups you belong to, get noticed [21:16]Quotes‘Always be humble in your approach. The first question to ask is: “What's the process for applying to speak at your event?”.’‘If you want to speak, then you need to speak. It's like if you want to write a book or be a writer, then you have to write.’‘Create a speaker page on your website where you outline your key topics, what your experience is, what your specialities are.’‘I knew at that point that live and in person had to be a part of my business model.’‘As I've built my business, I have intentionally looked for people who are abundantly minded when it comes to their connections, and I have invested at a high level.’Links of interestFind me on Instagram My Facebook page Share and review the podcastMy goal is 100 reviews in just 6 months.
