Dawn talks with Leisa Reid, founder of GetSpeakingGigsNow.com and the author of Get Speaking Gigs Now. Dawn and Leisa talk about how you can use speaking engagements to enhance the credibility of your business. Lisa explains that “speaking” isn’t only keynotes; it can include facilitation, workshops, and even Facebook Lives, and she shares early steps for local businesses such as leveraging chambers of commerce and addressing common questions or myths in an industry. She outlines a simple process for creating a signature talk by starting with the desired audience action step, then building around three main points. They discuss monetizing speaking through paid engagements or “waive your fee” talks that generate clients, plus the personal fulfillment and content-repurposing benefits of speaking.
