How to Get Your Next Speaking Engagements: The Bookable Speaker Checklist — Speaking Your Brand: Public Speaking Tips and Strategies

If you've been sending speaker proposals and hearing nothing back, look at three things: relevance, reach, and relationships.

Does the organizer understand why your talk fits their audience? Can they see evidence of you speaking? And do people in your network know what you speak about well enough to recommend you?

Those are the three R's we're covering in this first episode of our Bookable Speaker podcast series.

I’m joined by Speaking Your Brand coaches Diane Diaz and Erin Mark to talk about what each one looks like in practice and specific things you can do today to get your next speaking engagements on the calendar.
