For Speakers, Coaches, And Experts…

Stand Out More. Get Picked More. And Get Paid More.
No Fame Required! 

Brand is reputation. Positioning sets the expectations Brand is built on. Get this right, and everything else clicks. Referrals stick, introductions convert, and premium rates feel justified. 

PEOPLE ≠ PRODUCTS

"Finally, positioning designed for people and personal brands."

Why Brilliant Brands Still Stay Overlooked

You're doing the right things...

Creating content. Building relationships. Showing up consistently. Your work is solid, your expertise is real, and your audiences love you.

But somehow...

  • Other names come up first when opportunities arise.
  • Referrals and spin offs feel random instead of automatic.
  • Premium rates require lengthy justification or add-ons.
  • Introductions fizzle instead of flourish.

And look, you've had success... 

So you are doing many things right.

But if you are not having all the success you want, it's very likely because you are doing some of the right things in the wrong order, or the wrong way for you.

they tell you to pick a niche
or narrow your niche. even more...

It's great advice... 

If you're positioning a product.

But a personal brand is not a product.

But you're nOT a product. You're a person.

Unfortunately...

Most positioning advice treats you like a product. 

List your features. Highlight your benefits. Find your Unique Selling Proposition(USP)...

The USP question:

"Why should I choose your product over any and all other options available to me?"

Products compete on specifications. Products are compared on features. Products need to niche down so you can design the right features and specs into the product.

Finding a USP is tough enough to do when designing and marketing a product. 

Products don't have thoughts, feelings and doubts about themselves... But people do.

When you take product advice
and use it for a personal brand...

The USP question hits different for personal brands.

The questions all the sudden becomes...

"Why should I choose YOU over any and all other awesome options?

Your answer needs to be:

  1. Bold Enough to Stand Out And Grab Attention
  2. Authentic Enough That You'll Actually Share It.
  3. Believable Enough That People (Including You) Will Trust It's True.

Traditional positioning is great for products and companies, but personal brands need a human-first approach to gaining an strategic advantage.

"Discover & Develop Your Authentic Awesome To Deliver "The Gift ONLY YOU Can Be" for Maximum Value, Impact, And Legacy."

I believe speakers and experts have the power to transform lives and change the world!

At 33, my fixed mindset was unlocked by a Hall of Fame speaker Brian Tracy. A year later I had read 50 books, quit smoking after 15 years, lost 76lbs… my life was completely transformed because I took action on what I learned from this amazing speaker.

Then I discovered this program was originally published in 1984 - when I was just 6 years old. I was hit with the realization: how much suffering did I endure when this solution was available the whole time?

That was the moment I became obsessed with this question:

“If someone has a story or solution that can transform lives… how do we get it into the hearts and minds of the people who need it most — and move them to take the action required for real transformation?

It was a speaker who changed my life and got me on this journey in the first place. His message has changed thousands and thousands of people over the years.

That’s why I love helping speakers get better opportunities and command higher rates.

Because... 

Every stage you step on is a chance to change someone’s life.

And the more lives you change, the further your message travels.

It’s not just good business—it's a lasting legacy.
