Who This Masterclass Is For.

If stepping onto a TEDx stage feels like a calling, this masterclass is the first step in elevating you you.

  • Mission-driven women building 6-figure careers who have a powerful message to share but feel frustrated that despite their expertise, recognition and higher-level opportunities still aren't coming fast enough.

  • Experienced professionals, academics, consultants, and specialists with 10+ years in their field who are tired of watching less experienced voices get the stages, media features, and client opportunities they know they're qualified for.

  • Women who want to grow their visibility, authority, and income through speaking but don't know where to start, fear rejection, or feel unsure whether their idea is strong enough for events such as TEDx.

  • Experts ready to stop chasing clients and start being sought out because they understand that one high-visibility speaking opportunity, like a talk at an independently organized TEDx event, can shift the trajectory of their career.

On This Live Masterclass, I Will Reveal:

  • The exact process for distilling decades of expertise into one compelling, memorable message that resonates with curators at events such as TEDx (I'll walk you through real examples so you see exactly how it's done).

  • How to use my Speak & Serve Framework to develop a clear, stage-ready idea you can apply with confidence to TEDx events.

  • How one high-visibility talk can expand your credibility, attract media attention, and open doors to paid speaking engagements.

…and much more.

I didn’t always feel like my voice mattered. After my parents divorced, I became quiet and lost my self-expression. Even as I built a career working with young people around the world, a part of me still wondered if what I had to say was important… if anyone would truly listen.

That began to change in 2008 when I walked into a local Toastmasters club. From my very first speech, I was hooked. I discovered the power of expressing ideas in a way that could touch, move, and inspire others.

I started speaking anywhere that would have me, often for free at first. Over the next decade, I trained more than 20,000 young people in public speaking, delivered my own TEDx talk, and built a keynote career where I now command $15K per event speaking at conferences around the world.

None of that happened because I waited to feel “ready.”
It happened because I stopped waiting for permission to be seen.

And that’s exactly what this masterclass is about.

If you’re an expert who has spent years building your career but still feels invisible when it comes to the recognition you deserve, I’ll show you how to turn your expertise into a clear, stage-worthy message — the kind that opens doors to media, collaborations, and paid speaking opportunities.

“Public speaking is the single most effective way to increase
your visibility and credibility at the same time.”
— Dorie Clark

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my idea is stage-worthy?

You're often too close to your own expertise to see its value. In this masterclass, I'll share how speakers shape their ideas for high-visibility, idea-driven events like TEDx and how to uncover the message already embedded in your experience.

What if I'm not a professional speaker? I'm terrified I'm not ready or confident enough on stage.

80% of my clients had never spoken publicly before working with me, and they still delivered powerful talks that positioned them as authorities.

The truth is, you don't need to be a "natural" speaker.You need the right training, feedback, and support.

I'll show you exactly how to develop stage presence using techniques from my background as a stand-up comedian, actress, and $15K+ keynote speaker, so you command the stage with authenticity and confidence, even if you've never done it before.

How long does this process usually take? I don't have years to waste.

Many women begin attracting interest from a variety of events, including independently organized TEDx talks, once they clarify their message and understand how to articulate it clearly.

You'll learn a strategic approach to selecting the right events, crafting compelling messaging, and presenting your idea confidently.

I've tried other programs before and they didn't work. How is this different?

Most speaker programs are taught by people who've never been on the other side of the process.

I've delivered my own TEDx talk, and for over a decade I've worked as a keynote speaker, delivering more than 250 talks across the globe, including opening and closing conferences for numerous Credit Unions and Associations in the U.S.

I support you in understanding how to shape a clear, compelling idea for platforms like TEDx and how to turn a single talk into ongoing visibility and professional opportunities as part of your broader speaking journey.

And unlike generic programs, you get personalized feedback on your idea, synopsis, and speaking applications from someone with real experience in this world.

If TEDx is one of the stages you’d love to speak on, this masterclass is definitely something you need to attend.
