THE REAL PERSONAL BRANDING PODCAST

Optimize Your Speaking Opportunities (Paid or Free, Big or Small)

If you’ve ever wondered whether speaking at an unpaid event is worth it—or how to make the most of every speaking opportunity—this solo episode is for you. Lauren breaks down a framework she’s developed after speaking at (and attending) more than 100 events and hosting conferences herself. She explains why viewing gigs through a simple “paid vs. unpaid” lens can hold you back, and shares how to evaluate any opportunity for maximum impact.

Lauren outlines three powerful categories to assess any speaking invitation: People and Platform, Perks and Promotion, and Proximity and Positioning. From evaluating audience alignment and email list growth to networking strategy and event values, she provides actionable questions that will help you determine if a speaking opportunity is right for you and how to turn it into long-term value for your brand and business.

Whether you’re a seasoned speaker or just getting started, this episode will help you say “yes” to the right opportunities and confidently pass on the ones that don’t serve your goals. Plus, get a sneak peek at Lauren’s Memorable Personal Brand Mastermind, opening again in August for entrepreneurs who want to grow in community.
