  Building Your Speaking Business: The Four Pillars Every Speaker Needs
  presented by Kelly Bubolz

  Speaking is more than delivering a great presentation. Building a profitable speaking business requires trust, expertise, communication, and strategy.

  In this interactive kickoff session, we'll explore the four pillars of Speaker Academy: Ethics, Enterprise, Eloquence, and Expertise. How they help attract clients, create memorable presentations, and grow a sustainable speaking business.

  We'll also go behind the scenes of virtual speaking, from prospect calls to paid presentations, covering the simple technology, setup, and delivery practices that elevate your professionalism and confidence.

  Whether you're just starting or adding speaking to an existing business, you'll leave with practical ideas and a stronger foundation for the year ahead.

  • Engage and entertain your audiences
  • Stand out from the crowd
  • Create more bookings
