Welcome back to Getting Speakers Booked — the podcast by speakers, for speakers.

In today’s episode, Macy Baxi sits down with Tanja, a speaker coach and strategist who has worked closely with speakers and organizers to help messages land clearly, powerfully, and memorably on stage.

Tanja shares why most speakers don’t struggle with confidence — they struggle with clarity. Too many ideas, too much information, and too little focus can dilute even the most meaningful message. In this conversation, she breaks down how speakers can refine their message into one clear idea that audiences remember and event organizers trust.

🎤 In this episode, you’ll learn:

Why trying to say everything makes your message land nowhere

How speakers can simplify without “dumbing down” their expertise

What makes an idea feel fresh, relevant, and stage-ready

How to speak to who you used to be instead of “everyone”

Why clarity is the fastest path to more speaking opportunities

How simplicity builds credibility with organizers and audiences alike

If you’re a speaker who wants more stages, a clearer message, and talks that actually resonate, this episode will give you practical insight you can apply immediately.
