Strategies for speaking events
To land speaking gigs, start by clarifying your message and audience. Leisa Reid emphasizes that successful speakers know who they’re speaking to and what value they offer. Identify your target audience, craft a compelling bio and pitch, and build connections through networking and social media. Leisa also recommends creating a speaking portfolio with video clips to showcase your expertise. The more visible you are, the more opportunities will come your way.
With growing competition and evolving event formats, standing out as a speaker is more important than ever. Many aspiring speakers struggle with self-doubt, limited connections, or promoting themselves. Leisa explains that securing gigs helps grow both your career and personal brand. To boost your chances, refine your pitch, connect with event organizers, and actively seek opportunities through online platforms and industry events. By staying visible and persistent, you’ll build momentum and get booked.What should listeners do if they want to get speaking gigs now? What tips and strategies can you share?
