If you want more speaking opportunities, you don’t need luck.
You need visibility.

Event organizers, conference hosts, and podcast managers use LinkedIn to scout speakers.
The question is: When they land on your profile, what do they see?

🛑 If your speaking experience isn’t apparent, they won’t dig for it.
🛑 If your authority isn’t apparent, they’ll move on to the following profile.
🛑 If you’re not positioning yourself as a speaker, you’ll get overlooked.

Visibility Beats Outreach Every Time

Instead of endlessly pitching yourself, here’s the simple system that turns your LinkedIn profile into a speaker magnet:

1. Create a New "Speaker" Job Role
Add a new experience section titled “Speaker” or “Keynote Speaker.”
Make it official.
This instantly signals anyone scanning your profile that speaking is part of your brand identity.

2. Document Every Speaking Engagement
Inside the description of the "Speaker" role, list every talk, keynote, panel, and podcast appearance you’ve participated in.
Even small webinars count.
Every entry builds credibility.

3. Update It Regularly
Every time you speak, add it.
Over time, this section becomes a living résumé that grows your authority and signals your expertise without you ever needing to pitch.

4. Use Proof to Build Trust
Where possible, add links, event photos, or short descriptions to make your speaking experience tangible. Trust grows when proof is visible.

Final Thought: Your LinkedIn Profile Is Either a Magnet or a Missed Opportunity
You’re already doing the hard work building a brand, leading teams, and sharing expertise.
Make sure your profile showcases it in a way that opens new doors.

This episode shows you the fastest, easiest way to position yourself as a speaker without shouting and attract opportunities matching your influence.
