The Speakers' Guild
Where Stories Come to Life: Your Backstage Pass to Speaking Mastery
Every blockbuster speech starts with an unforgettable story.
Think of the most impactful talks you’ve ever witnessed—the ones that gave you goosebumps, inspired action, or stayed with you for years.
What made them stand out?
It wasn’t just the facts or the framework.
It was the story.
And behind every story that captivates an audience is a speaker who knows how to bring it to life—through delivery, presence, and connection.
That’s what The Speakers’ Guild is all about.
You’ve got the talent.
You’ve got the stage.
But if your storytelling, stage presence, and delivery aren't landing the way you want it to—if you feel like something’s missing, or like your potential is untapped—this is your moment to take the leap.
A real blockbuster.
A career full of blockbusters.
Introducing
The Speakers’ Guild:
Where your story, your performance, and your impact become unforgettable.
Why Many Speakers Struggle to Stand Out
Even talented speakers can find themselves frustrated by:
- Stories that fall flat: You’ve got the right message, but something’s missing in the way you deliver it.
- Second-guessing your delivery: Practicing in front of the mirror isn’t giving you the feedback you need to improve.
- Unpolished stage presence: You want to command the room, but your confidence wavers.
- Going it alone: Without expert coaching or peer support, it’s hard to grow.
All of which leads to:
Sound familiar? You’re not alone. And more importantly, you don’t have to figure it out alone anymore.
- Missed Opportunities: Your talks don’t resonate as deeply as they could, leaving audiences disengaged and future gigs on the table.
- Plateaued Growth: Without clear feedback and guidance, it’s hard to break through to the next level of your speaking career.
- Lingering Self-Doubt: You question whether your stories and delivery are truly impactful, which holds you back from owning the stage.
- Burnout from Overthinking: You spend more time tweaking and rehearsing than connecting with your audience and enjoying the process.

Frequently
Asked
Questions
What level of speaker is this program for?
The Speakers’ Guild is open to speakers at all levels. Whether you’re crafting your first keynote or refining a signature talk, this program will help you elevate your storytelling and stage presence.
What if I miss a week or fall behind?
No problem. Just like in any great production, sometimes there are reshoots. You can pick up where you left off and refocus your efforts. The Guild is designed to work around your schedule, not overwhelm you. With access to pre-submit your work for Office Hours, I can review it even without you on the call. The Voxer weeks are also a collaborative space for us to work without needing to worry about calendars.
How much time will this take each week?
Expect to dedicate 15–30 minutes a week to reviewing your email, reflecting on your progress, and crafting your reply. The real magic happens when you implement the strategies into your business.
What if I don’t have a signature talk yet?
No problem. Whether you’re building your first talk or improving an existing one, you’ll get personalized guidance to craft a compelling message.
What kind of results can I expect?
Results depend on your commitment. Speakers who consistently show up and implement the strategies have seen more paid gigs, higher fees, and better positioning in their markets. This isn’t about quick wins; it’s about building a lasting, scalable business.
Is this focused on business strategy?
Nope! That’s what The Producers’ Syndicate is for. The Speakers’ Guild focuses on storytelling, delivery, and performance—the craft of speaking.
Why is this program limited to 30 participants?
Great storytelling requires detailed feedback. By capping the group size, every participant gets the personalized attention they need to shine.
What happens after six months?
You’ll have a refined talk, stronger presence, and the tools to continue growing as a speaker. There may also be opportunities to work together in future programs.
Why is there no refund policy?
Think of this like buying a ticket to see Wicked or Taylor Swift—your seat is reserved, and the show goes on! This program is for serious speakers ready to commit. When you show up, follow the guidance, and take action, you’ll get results that are worth every penny. We’re confident in the value because it’s designed for those who are ready to play full out.
Do you offer payment plans?
The Guild is $2000 pay-in-full or you can make three payments of $700.
