Think you need a ballroom to call yourself a speaker? Think again.

There are so many more speaking opportunities than the spotlighted stage. And guess what? You’re likely walking past them every single week. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on 30 (yes, thirty!) places where you can share your message, grow your visibility, and get booked—no paid keynote required.

Whether you're a brand-new coach or a seasoned consultant, these overlooked “stages” will change how you show up and speak out. And don’t worry, there’s no AV team or stage fright required—just your voice, your story, and your willingness to start where you are.

Here’s what you’ll learn:

• Why redefining “stage” is the key to getting started (hint: it’s not just the ballroom!)
• How visibility on small platforms leads to BIG speaking opportunities
• The surprising stat that proves there’s always an audience for your message
• What 225,000 associations mean for your speaking calendar 🗓️
• 30 real places you can speak this month (no cold pitch required)

Your audience is waiting. Let’s make sure they hear you.
