Emerging Speaker Intensive
Become the Speaker People Remember—Not Just Another Voice on the Program
Most new speakers focus on getting booked. The best speakers focus on getting better.
If your goal is to build a speaking career that actually lasts—not just land a few opportunities and hope for the next one—then your development has to come first. The speakers who rise above the noise are not the ones chasing tactics. They are the ones refining their craft.
This is where that process begins.
Introducing a focused, three-part coaching experience designed specifically for emerging speakers who are ready to take their message, their delivery, and their presence seriously.
Introducing: A 3-Part Coaching Experience for Emerging Speakers Who Are Ready to Get Serious About Their Craft
Let’s Be Honest About the Speaking Industry
There is no shortage of advice about how to grow a speaking business. Everywhere you look, the conversation revolves around marketing strategies, personal branding, social media visibility, and building funnels.
But none of that matters if the speech itself doesn’t land.
As Hall of Fame Speaker Mike Rayburn said, “If you’re not getting booked as much as you want, It’s the speech.”
If your content doesn’t connect, your stories don’t stick, and your delivery doesn’t engage, no amount of promotion will compensate for it. You may get booked once, but you won’t get invited back. And you certainly won’t build a reputation that grows on its own.
The reality is that very few programs actually teach speakers how to become exceptional on stage. That gap is exactly what this intensive is designed to fill.
This is not another program about building a speaking business. There are people who specialize in that—and they do it well.
Very few people, however, are actually teaching speakers how to become exceptional on stage.
That’s what this is about.
This Is Not Another ‘How to Build a Speaking Business’ Program
This experience is about something far more foundational. This Is About Becoming a Speaker Worth Hiring Again and Again
It is about helping you become the kind of speaker audiences remember, event planners trust, and organizations invite back. When your message is clear, your structure is strong, and your delivery is intentional, everything else begins to change.
Your confidence becomes grounded, not forced. Your audience engages differently because they feel the clarity. And your reputation begins to grow—not because you marketed harder, but because your performance earned it.
What You’ll Walk Away With
By the end of this three-part cohort, you won’t just have more ideas—you’ll have direction, structure, and a clear path forward.
You will walk away with a focused and marketable topic rooted in both your expertise and what audiences actually need. You’ll understand how to build content that solves a real problem rather than simply sharing information. You’ll gain clarity around different speaking formats so you can avoid the common mistake of delivering the wrong type of talk in the wrong setting.
More importantly, you’ll begin developing the core elements that make a talk memorable. That includes crafting stories that resonate, strengthening your stage presence, improving your pacing and delivery, and identifying the subtle mistakes that quietly weaken credibility.
By the end, you will not have a “perfect” talk—but you will have something far more valuable: a strong, structured, and intentional foundation for a signature presentation that is ready to refine and deliver.
You Don’t Need More Information. You Need Refinement.
Most emerging speakers are not struggling because they lack ideas. In fact, the opposite is usually true. They have too many ideas, too many directions, and no clear structure to bring it all together.
What’s missing is refinement.
Refinement in how the message is shaped. Discipline in how content is structured. Honest feedback on what works and what doesn’t. And technique in how it is delivered.
That is what separates someone who speaks from someone who builds a professional speaking career. It is not talent. It is intentional development over time, guided by the right process.
This cohort is designed to give you that process.
Program Structure
Three Sessions. Focused. Practical. Transformational.
Session 1: Defining Your Message
- What problem do you solve?
- Who actually cares?
- Why your topic matters (and how to position it)
The first session centers on defining your message. You will gain clarity on the problem you solve, who your audience actually is, and why your topic matters in a way that positions you effectively rather than generically.
- Building a clear framework (your “how-to”)
- Organizing ideas into memorable, usable content
- Avoiding the most common structural mistakes
The second session focuses on structuring content that works. This is where your ideas begin to take shape into a clear, usable framework. You will learn how to organize your content so it is not only engaging, but also memorable and actionable—while avoiding the structural mistakes that weaken most talks.
Session 3: Delivery, Story, and Stagecraft
- Storytelling that creates impact (not just entertainment)
- Stage presence, movement, and pacing
- Connecting with an audience in a way that lasts
The third session shifts into delivery, storytelling, and stagecraft. This is where your message comes to life. You will learn how to use story with intention, how to move and pace yourself on stage, and how to connect with an audience in a way that creates a lasting impact.
Bonus Section
1:1 Coaching Session with Lauren
You’ll receive a 90-minute private coaching session to:
- Refine your message
- Get direct feedback
- Address your specific challenges
This is where everything becomes personal.
It is an opportunity to refine your message at a deeper level, receive direct and honest feedback, and work through the specific challenges that are unique to you. Whether that is clarity, confidence, structure, or delivery, this session is designed to accelerate your progress in a way group sessions alone cannot.
Who This Is For
This experience is designed for individuals who are serious about becoming better speakers—not just more visible ones.
It is ideal for emerging speakers who are early in their journey, professionals who are transitioning into speaking and want to build a strong foundation, and subject-matter experts who know their material but want to present it more effectively.
It is also for those who feel like they are close—who know they have something valuable to say, but haven’t quite been able to bring it together into a talk that truly works.
Who This Is NOT For
This program is not for those who are only looking for marketing tactics or shortcuts to getting booked. It is not designed for people who want quick visibility without doing the deeper work required to improve their craft.
If you are not willing to refine, rethink, and develop your speaking ability, this will not be the right fit.

A Few Ground Rules
At its core, great speaking is not about the speaker—it is about the audience. Every message should serve them, not you.
Stories will always carry more weight than slides. If your content does not solve a problem, it does not belong. And when something feels unclear or overly complex, the answer is almost always to simplify, not add more.
And perhaps most importantly, this is not therapy on stage. It is communication with purpose.
If You’re Ready to Be Taken Seriously as a Speaker…
