Here’s How To Start Your Public Speaking Career.
get the gig — and change lives with your speech
You’ve written your speech. You’ve practiced every nuance of delivery.
Now it’s time to get your life-changing speech onto the right stages.
Getting started can seem overwhelming. From speaker reels to cold pitching to putting your speaker bio together, it’s a lot of moving parts. How do you get started when:
🚫
You have no idea how to make a speaker reel because, well . . . you haven’t spoken yet.
🚫
You don’t know which organizations are right for you. It feels like throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping something sticks.
🚫
Even if you manage to get a gig . . . will you ever get on the TEDx stage like you’ve dreamed about? How do you know if you’re ready for a TEDx talk?
🚫
How can you grow your business from the stage without feeling like a snake-oil salesman?
🚫
Do you have to do awkward cold calls in order to get booked as a speaker? (The answer is no!) How do you even find out who books speakers?
🚫
What if you don’t have a network to leverage in order to get speaking engagements?
🚫
What do you charge? How do you negotiate a fee when you’re told there’s no budget?
The good news is that I’ve helped people go from ground zero to building a profitable business and public-speaking career.
Step by step, I’ve got your roadmap to capturing speaking opportunities. Not just once, but over and over for the life of your speaking career.
Hi, I’m Alan, and it’s my mission to get Speeches That Make An Impact onto the stage.
I help my clients get their socially significant speeches onto the stage, so they can make an impact with their life experience.
(And I help them build successful businesses with their speaking careers! Business coaching is a built-in bonus that helps you get a crazy return on investment.)
There’s no other 1:1 coaching program like this.
I work with just a few clients at a time and dedicate my skills and attention to helping them tell their story, deliver with confidence, and get the gig.
It’s elite training for clients who know they’re destined to speak from the stage.

INTRODUCING:
GET THE GIG. CHANGE THE WORLD.™
6 Months to Get on the Stages That Need Your Story.
“I had no idea how to go about creating a sizzle reel. Alan helped me through every step of finding someone to work with and producing my reel for me. I now have a speaker’s sizzle reel, a sales bio, and a plan for growing my business. I also have successfully run a group twice. Alan helped me prepare extensively. He was very active with coaching me around the speech and giving me great pointers. He was very involved in helping me plan and then launch my group. It was a wonderful experience.”
