How to land more speaking opportunities
You've watched someone land a keynote and thought "how did they even get that gig?"
And then you've told yourself it must be because they know the right people, or they've been speaking for years, or they have a manager, or they're just that kind of person.
Here's the truth: most people who land speaking opportunities aren't more talented than you. They're not better connected than you. They've just figured out the system and the system is learnable.
After delivering 100+ international keynotes for companies including Google, Salesforce, Figma, and Capgemini and coaching women in tech through my BRAVE on Stage accelerator I've noticed something.
The people who get on stages aren't necessarily the best speakers. They're the ones who know how to pitch themselves, where to look, and what to say when the opportunity comes up.
In this live session, I'll walk you through exactly how I've built a speaking career from scratch, and how the women I coach are getting onto stages without waiting to be discovered.
We'll cover two things:
Where speaking opportunities actually live - I'll show you the places that matter and how to find them.
How to pitch yourself by selling a transformation, not a topic which is the shift most people miss. Event organisers don't book speakers because of their credentials.
How to pitch yourself to event organisers without feeling like you're begging, along with what organisers are actually looking for and what makes them delete your email on sight.
I'll also be answering questions live, so if there's a specific opportunity you've been eyeing or a pitch you've been sitting on, bring it with you.
THIS IS FOR YOU IF:
→ You want to get on more stages but have no idea where to start
→ You've been pitching yourself and hearing nothing back
→ You're tired of watching other people land the gigs and wondering how they did it
→ You're a woman in tech who wants to boost your visibility in 2026
