BUILDING YOUR FOUNDATION & SIGNATURE TALKS

You’ll define your signature talk topics, understand exactly who your audience is and what they need, and craft a mission-driven identity that sets you apart. This foundation ensures every talk you give aligns with your expertise and your goals, so you’re confident and focused when opportunities arise.


CREATING YOUR SPEAKER ASSETS

From a polished speaker page to professional bios and talk topic descriptions, you’ll create everything an event host needs to quickly see why you’re the right fit. You’ll also learn how to present yourself with clarity and professionalism, making it easy for organizers to say “yes.”


PITCHING
LIKE A PRO

You’ll learn how to research and find aligned speaking opportunities, confidently pitch yourself using proven templates, and follow up without feeling pushy. This module gives you the exact strategies I've used to go from unpaid gigs to being a sought-after speaker at major creative industry conferences and events.


SPEAKING WITH
IMPACT

Discover how to structure your talk for maximum engagement, start and end strong, and connect with your audience no matter the size of the stage. You’ll also learn practical rehearsal techniques and confidence-boosting exercises to ensure you deliver with ease and impact.


TURNING SPEAKING INTO A REVENUE STREAM

Speaking isn’t just about what happens on stage—it’s about how you leverage it to grow your offers, audience, and revenue. You’ll learn how to evaluate opportunities (paid and unpaid), price your talks, and build a long-term speaking strategy that supports your business growth.


You already have your story & expertise. Now it’s time to learn the skills & strategy that consistently get you in the right rooms.

“Before I joined, I thought I had a long way to go to become a speaker. But I realized I already had most of the pieces—I just needed to package them. Now I have a full speaker page, two signature talks, and even my first pitch drafted.” — CHRISTIE

What students are saying

“I’ve always had stage fright, but this course gave me the structure and encouragement I needed to start stepping out of my comfort zone.”
— SHAWNEE
“Even after 7+ years of speaking, I walked away with tools to refine my talks, position myself better, and finally start getting paid for my expertise. Laylee’s course helped me position myself as the go-to expert in my industry, and that was so empowering.” — KACHET



What most speakers get wrong when they're starting out...

  • They pitch before they have clear signature topics or professional speaker assets, so their emails fall flat.

  • They mimic other speakers’ styles instead of building their own unique presence and confidence.

  • They take any stage without thinking about alignment—then wonder why it doesn’t grow their business.

INSTEAD OF THROWING OUT GENERIC PITCHES Or hoping you’ll “get discovered”

It was so refreshing to get insight not just from a speaker, but from someone who actually hosts conferences and reviews pitches. That perspective is invaluable.

As a conference host & sought-after speaker, I know what gets you booked

I'm Laylee

I’m Laylee—an educator for creatives. As a former high school teacher, I'm passionate about lifting up others and teaching with purpose. When I started speaking, I didn’t have a big break or a paid keynote. I had passion and a willingness to learn. I pitched (a lot), heard “no” (a lot), and still showed up.

Over time, I built confidence hosting my own workshops and podcast, honed my message, and learned what event organizers really look for. Today, I’m a keynote speaker, panelist, and the host of The Creative Educator Conference—and I’ve packaged everything I know about becoming a sought-after speaker into this course, so you don’t have to figure it out the hard way.
