In this episode of Career Coaching Secrets, host Pedro sits down with Elaine Powell, also known as The Thought Disruptor—a keynote speaker and coach who helps experts turn their voice into impact and income.

Elaine shares her unconventional journey from working with young offenders, traveling to 18 countries, and joining Toastmasters, to becoming a $10K–$15K paid speaker in the US. She breaks down the real difference between what she speaks on and what she coaches on, and why speaking is one of the most powerful one-to-many growth strategies for coaches, leaders, and experts.

You’ll hear honest lessons about burnout, shiny-object syndrome, building credibility, transitioning from free talks to paid stages, and why speaking works best when your foundation is already solid. Elaine also opens up about sales, enrollment conversations, mindset, investing in yourself, and why action always beats overthinking—especially for women.
