Discover why talented speakers stay stuck speaking for free, and why applause does not always turn into income.
This is for two kinds of speakers: the new speaker wondering why their message is not being booked, and the speaker who has landed a few gigs but cannot make it consistent.
Hosted by Dr. Karim R. Ellis, The #1 Breakthrough Strategist, a 20+ year professional keynote speaker, leadership trainer, 2X TEDx Speaker, and 2nd Place Finalist in the Great American Speak Off who has delivered keynote presentations for more than 300 organizations.

Why talented speakers stay stuck
You are not broke because you are not good.
You have felt it. You give the talk. The room is on its feet. Then you drive home having made nothing.
It does not make sense. You are more gifted than half the people getting booked and paid.

This class is for you if...
You are tired of your message being applauded but not booked.
You are a gifted speaker who is tired of speaking for free.
You freeze, undercharge, or apologize when someone asks your rate.
You have been waiting to be discovered longer than you would like to admit.
You know you have the gift, you just do not have the business around it.
You are ready to understand why your talk is not leading to invitations.
You want clarity about why applause has not turned into consistent bookings.
Why this class is free
Because too many gifted speakers are letting their message stay buried.
For more than 20 years, Dr. Karim has stood on stages for over 300 organizations, from Ford and Honda to Purdue and the United States Postal Service.
He is teaching this free because there are gifted speakers the world never hears, and that is the thing he cannot stand to watch.
