Visible. Profitable. Booked.

The Paid Speaker Revenue Programme

You’re already a speaker. It’s time to get paid properly.

A 6-month programme for experienced diverse speakers who are done being overlooked, underpaid, and “grateful for the opportunity” and are ready to build a speaking revenue stream that actually reflects their expertise.

You’ve done the speaking. So why aren’t you being paid properly?

You’ve delivered the talks.

Panels. Workshops. Internal sessions. External events. Conferences.

People say:

“That was brilliant.”

“That was good.”

“We need more of this.”

And then…

❌ No fee conversation

❌ Or a low offer

❌ Or “there’s no budget for this one”

So you start telling yourself:

“Maybe it will lead to something.”

Let me save you some time.

It doesn’t. I’ve learned the had way. The work doesn’t speak for itself.

This is the gap no one is naming

You don’t have a speaking problem.

🎯 You have a Paid Speaker Visibility Gap

You are visible…

But not positioned to be paid properly

And that gap?

It’s costing you real money.

If your average fee should be £2K–£5K

and you’re not having those conversations…

That’s easily £10K–£20K+ a year left on the table.

Because you didn’t ask or negotiate the deal effectively.

In my experience as a Career Coach to senior leaders and someone who as negotiated deals, often people bail before “the real negotiations” begins.

This is the work I do

I help you close that gap.

Not by making you louder.
Not by telling you to “post more.”

But by making sure that when people see you…

❌ They don’t just think “good speaker”.
✅ They think “we have the budget for this”.

Who this is for

This programme is for you if:

  • You’ve been paid to speak at least once or are already being asked to speak

  • You have 3+ years of experience in your field

  • You already have a defined talk and people respond to it

  • You are done being underpaid for your expertise

❌ If you are still figuring out what you want to speak about, this is not for you.

❌ This is not a confidence programme.
This is a positioning and revenue programme.

What changes in 6 months

You don’t become a “better speaker.”

You become a paid speaker who gets paid properly.

Inside the programme, you will:

  • Reposition how you show up so your expertise is commercially clear

  • Build speaking offers that organisations can actually buy

  • Learn how to ask for fees without shrinking or over-explaining

  • Handle “no budget” without folding

  • Create visibility that leads to paid opportunities, not just engagement

  • Build a speaking pipeline you can actually rely on

Why this takes 6 months and not 6 weeks?

Because this isn’t a quick fix.

✅ You are repositioning yourself in the market

That takes:

  • action

  • iteration

  • real conversations

  • real decisions

What’s my story?

Let me take you back to January 2024.

A government-funded organisation emailed me and invited me to speak.

I didn’t pitch for this opportunity.

No budget mentioned.

A year earlier, I would have said yes.

This time, I said:

“I’m not seeking unpaid speaking opportunities, what’s your budget?”

That deal went from £0 to four figures, only because I asked.

These negotiating behaviours are what I teach you inside of the programme.

This is for you if…

You’re tired of:

  • Being asked to speak but not offered a fee

  • Accepting less than your value

  • Being visible but not booked

  • Watching others get paid more for less

You’re done with being under paid and you’re ready to be a revenue focussed speaker leveraging every speaker booking for future profit.

FAQ’s

What is a paid speaker revenue programme?

A structured way to help experienced diverse speakers move from inconsistent or low-paid speaking to consistent, properly paid opportunities (£3K–£5K+).

How do I start getting paid to speak?

You don’t start with more visibility. You start with positioning, clear offers, and learning how to ask for and hold your fees. This programme isn’t for this, get a copy of my award winning book, Your Platform Power.

Why am I being asked to speak but not paid?

Because you are being seen as valuable, but not positioned as a commercial speaker or asking to be paid with confidence. That’s the gap this programme closes.

How long does it take to get paid for speaking?

Some clients see results within weeks. But building a consistent, properly paid pipeline takes months of positioning and consistent action.

Is this for beginner speakers?

No. If you haven’t spoken before, this is not your next step. Join us inside the Paid Speaker List and inside Paid Speaker Connections the global virtual paid speaker momentum session.
