Do you feel like the guy in this video? Take a few minutes to watch, then continue to read.
If you're tired of being invisible in an industry overflowing with loud voices…
If you know your expertise is powerful but your inbox stays quiet…
If you're watching less-qualified people get booked while you stay on the sidelines…
Then it’s time to make a shift.
From Undiscovered to Booked and Represented is a hands-on speaker development lab that takes you from
➡️ “How do I get started?”
to
➡️ “I’m booked — and getting paid for my brilliance.”
No guesswork.
No confusion.
No begging for opportunities.
Just a proven system that positions you as the speaker decision-makers want to hire.
This is for you if you:
✔ Are an expert, founder, thought leader, or entrepreneur with real knowledge to offer
✔ Have spoken somewhere (even if free) but want consistent paid engagements
✔ Want to command $3,500–$10,000+ keynote fees
✔ Know your message matters but your current visibility doesn’t reflect your value
✔ Want representation with a speakers bureau
✔ Are ready to finally elevate from “hidden gem” to “high-demand professional speaker”
This is NOT for you if you:
✘ Just want fame without doing the work
✘ Are unwilling to pitch, practice, or implement
✘ Want a passive program — this is a hands-on, guided, live implementation
✨ THE TRANSFORMATION
By the end of From Undiscovered to Booked and Represented, you will:
🌟 Clarify your signature speaking topic that attracts paid opportunities
🌟 Build the exact assets bureaus and event planners require
🌟 Create a compelling speaker pitch that gets responses
🌟 Know how to secure your first (or next) paid speaking engagement
🌟 Have a structured 12-month speaking revenue plan

For 20+ years, I've booked speakers, consultants, and trainers for Fortune 500 companies, colleges and universities, associations, businesses, and industry conferences worldwide. I've been on the inside, seeing what event planners say "yes" to, and what top bureaus demand. I understand why talented people remain invisible to the organizations that could skyrocket their careers.
I know exactly what event planners look for. I know what makes them say "yes." And I know what keeps speakers stuck, spinning their wheels, and wondering why they're not getting booked.
I'm pulling back the curtain and showing you the system that actually works.
