FINALLY, THE SPEAKER COMMUNITY

YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR

If you’re here, you’ve already discovered the incredible power of speaking. Speaker League Community gives you the opportunity to hone your skills – to become an expert at harnessing that power to become transformative and create maximum impact.

It's made my business more successful...

I don’t ever question why I invest in working with Melissa. She is one of the few people in my life who, every time I connect with her, I learn something. It’s not just that she reminds me of things I know, she always opens me up to thinking about things I didn’t know I didn’t know. It’s like this bell goes off in my head and that bell has always made my business more successful. I cannot tell you how much I appreciate Melissa. Thank you. Thank you.”

We all understand the power of being a part of a community – especially when that community can accelerate our movement towards our dreams.

Speaker League Community will give you the tools and the confidence to get the higher-profile (and higher paid) speaking engagements. Go from “You’re a great speaker” to a “WOW! We have to have you back!” keynote speaker. This doesn’t mean you have to desire to become a full-time speaker.

Even if you just use speaking as a lead generation tool for your primary business, you need to consistently deliver the best possible version of yourself and your content every time you step on stage.  One bad performance can follow you around like a bad audit (or a felony conviction). Every speaker (yes, even seasoned speakers) should take every opportunity to speak and gain feedback in order to optimize, embody and amplify his or her message!
