You know speaking is one of the best ways to grow your business and your visibility.But between running your business, serving your clients, and managing everything else on your plate, finding time to pitch yourself for speaking engagements feels impossible.If you’ve ever thought:“I know I should be speaking, but I’m too busy to figure out where to start.”“Pitching myself feels overwhelming. I don’t even know what to say.”“It seems easier to just keep posting on social media, even though it’s not moving the needle.”This new two-part series on how you can land more speaking engagements is exactly what you need.Today’s focus is on outbound activities = the steps you can take to actively pitch yourself without burning out. The next episode is on what I call inbound activities = setting yourself up so that speaking engagements come to you.(You need to be doing both outbound and inbound - they reinforce each other - so don’t skip this episode!)In this episode, you’ll learn:Why scheduling a weekly Pitch Power Hour will help you stay consistent (and how to structure it).How to research speaking opportunities efficiently using tools like Google Alerts and AI.The importance of showing up in your local community and building relationships that lead to invitations.How to align pitching with your existing visibility efforts so it feels natural, not forced.The mindset shift that makes pitching less intimidating: event organizers need great speakers like you.By the end of this episode, you’ll have three specific strategies to make pitching a sustainable and even enjoyable part of your routine. And most importantly, you’ll see how consistent, strategic outreach leads to more of the right opportunities on the right stages.✨ Work with us: Want to create your signature talk, build your speaking strategy, and get booked without burnout?Join our online Thought Leader Academy for step-by-step coaching and a proven process to elevate your message.Prefer in-person?
