Get stage ready in 8 weeks.
Story to Stage is a complete speaker development program designed to help you build your keynote, develop your confidence, get on stage, capture professional footage and create the positioning, assets and strategy you need to start pursuing real speaking opportunities.
We start with an intensive 8-week Speaker Boot Camp.
Your first milestone is simple:
Get on stage.
Then we use everything you’ve created to help you become market ready, visible and bookable.
You don’t become a speaker by thinking about it.
At some point, you have to get on stage.
Too many aspiring speakers spend months working on their website, bio, niche and branding before they’ve actually done the most important thing.
Spoken.
Story to Stage flips that process.
We build the foundations, shape your message, develop your keynote and get you speaking quickly.
You create. You practise. You refine. You deliver.
Because the fastest way to become a better speaker is to speak.
The 8-Week Speaker Boot Camp
For the first eight weeks, we focus on getting you stage ready.
You’ll clarify what you want to be known for, shape your message, identify the audience who needs to hear it, build your keynote, develop your stories and strengthen your delivery.
And you’ll practise.
Because this isn’t about creating something that looks great on paper.
It has to work when you say it out loud.
Then comes the milestone we’ve been working towards.
You get on stage.
You deliver your talk, experience a real audience and capture professional footage that can start becoming part of your speaker profile, content and showreel.
You’re no longer saying:
“I want to become a speaker.”
You’ve done it.
Now we build from there.
From Stage Ready to Market Ready
Getting on stage is the beginning.
Over the following 10 months, we refine what you’ve created and build the professional speaking business around it.
You’ll develop your positioning, speaker assets, visibility, commercial strategy and outreach so you can take your message into the market with confidence.
Month 1: Your Personal Brand
Clarify who you are as a speaker, what you stand for and what you want to be known for. Build a speaker identity that feels clear, consistent and recognisably you.
Month 2: Your Content Pillars
Identify the core ideas and areas of expertise you want to build your speaking profile around. Begin developing signature content, models and frameworks that make your message memorable.
Month 3: Your Market & Audience
Get clear on who needs your message and who is most likely to book you. Identify the industries, organisations and audiences your expertise is best positioned to serve.
Month 4: Your Keynotes
Refine the talk you created during Boot Camp and continue developing your speaking content. Strengthen your structure, stories, opening, key ideas and audience takeaways.
Month 5: Your Professional Speaker Presence
Build the assets that make it easier for people to understand and book you, including your bio, keynote descriptions, website content and speaker media.
Month 6: Your Speaker Business Model
Work out how speaking fits into your wider business. Explore pricing, offers, revenue opportunities and the commercial model that makes sense for you.
Month 7: Your Lead Generation
Create resources that help your audience take the next step with you after you leave the stage, from guides and tools to workbooks, assessments and other offers.
Month 8: Your Marketing & Visibility
Develop a content and marketing strategy that helps people discover your ideas, expertise and point of view before they ever see you speak.
Month 9: Outreach & Speaker Opportunities
Learn how to take your speaking offer into the market through event organisers, corporates, industry relationships, speaker bureaus and professional outreach.
Month 10: Video That Gets You Booked
Turn your stage footage and expertise into assets that demonstrate what you can do. Build showreel content, stage clips, educational videos and material that helps potential clients see you as a speaker.
What will you have built?
By the end of Story to Stage, you’ll have developed much more than a keynote.
You’ll have:
- a clear speaker position and personal brand
- a developed keynote and body of speaker content
- real stage experience
- professional stage footage
- material for your speaker reel
- speaker bios and keynote descriptions
- a defined target market
- a professional speaker presence
- a commercial speaking model
- marketing and lead-generation assets
- a visibility and outreach strategy
- the tools to start pursuing real speaking opportunities
In other words:
You won’t just be ready to speak.
You’ll be ready to take yourself to market.
Is Story to Stage for you?
Story to Stage is for experts, leaders, business owners, consultants, coaches and aspiring speakers who know they have something worth sharing and are ready to take speaking seriously.
Maybe people have been telling you for years:
“You should be a speaker.”
Maybe you already speak but want to become more professional.
Maybe you have decades of knowledge and experience and want to turn that into a keynote, greater visibility or another revenue stream.
You don’t need to arrive with a finished keynote.
You don’t need a speaker website.
You don’t need a showreel.
That’s what we’re going to build.
What you do need is something worth saying and the willingness to get up and say it.
