The importance of owning your thought leadership and developing a clear, compelling message as a keynote speaker is paramount for your success as a public speaker. It is not just about showing up and speaking - it's a business that requires significant investment, planning, and a strategic approach.

There is a common misconception that writing a book or giving a TED talk will automatically lead to high-paying speaking engagements, which is why you need to build a unique personal brand and expertise. Dr Romie provides a comprehensive and realistic look at the realities of being a professional public speaker, challenging the glamorised perceptions and offering a roadmap for aspiring keynote speakers to follow.

Imagine If...

  • Every female leader had a clear, compelling thought leadership message that resonated with their target audience and consistently allowed them to book high-paying keynote speaking engagements.

  • Women could build a well-oiled speaking business with a team of experts supporting them, from branding and messaging to logistics and performance coaching, allowing them to focus on delivering transformative keynotes.
