Here's the brutal truth about becoming a speaker:
While you're sitting in the audience at a conference, watching others share their insights and claim thought leadership in their space, your expertise is collecting dust in your head.
That person on stage is going to land a $50K consulting contract from this 20-minute keynote. Just from standing up there and speaking.
The executive across the row from you got promoted after delivering a powerful presentation to the C-suite.
Heck, that "industry expert" on LinkedIn you follow (with half your experience) just booked a $15,000 speaking gig because they know how to package their knowledge into talks that captivate audiences.

Meanwhile, you're trapped in a prison of perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and that voice whispering:
"What if I forget everything? What if they ask a question I can't answer? What if they discover I'm not as smart as they think?"
The truth is: you do already know your stuff. But when it comes to turning your expertise into a compelling talk, you think:
“I don’t know where to start.”
“I freeze trying to write.”
“I ramble or lose my place.”
“I hate feeling salesy.”
“I want to get booked, but I don’t know how.”
We get it. This is the hard part — and that’s the exact challenge we’ve set out to solve.

SPEAK With Confidence Creator Melanie Spring on stage
Melanie is hands down one of the most innovative and inspiring speakers I've seen in a decade."
Janet Schijns
Vice president at VERIZON
Melanie is one of the most dynamic and engaging speakers we have ever had at the Simpleview Summit! An overwhelming 94% of our attendees said they were “satisfied” with her presentation, while several others went as far as to comment on it, some saying it was the best presentation of the entire conference! From a meeting planner perspective, Melanie is awesome to work with – collaborative, responsive, energetic, and professional.

Do you want a little more Human in your conference? Melanie Spring is just the dynamic keynote speaker you’re looking for. Melanie energized our audiences with out-of-the-box ideas for inspiring your team and revolutionary methods of fitting your hiring processes to your brand. She’s a breath of fresh air in a conference world suffocated by boring keynotes. She also rocks a mean “Black Velvet” at karaoke night, but you didn’t hear that from me.
Michael Pachuta
EO (Entrepreneur’s Organization) + Michigan SHRM
Melanie possesses an energy you feel and take on from the first time you meet her until the time she walks off the stage. She inspired, encouraged, bolstered, challenged and loved on our audience and they hung on every word of her presentation. The most amazing part is that she spent the day with us, after her morning keynote, hanging out talking to our attendees, offering wisdom and her bad-ass style of encouragement.

Go beyond just a speaking career
Here's the reality: A single keynote speaking engagement pays between $10,000-$30,000. One speaking opportunity can cover your investment in this program many times over.
And speaking isn’t just about the paycheck. It opens doors to book deals, partnerships, new clients, media coverage, and paid invitations you never expected. One great talk can transform your career. But without the right structure, even the smartest professionals get overlooked.
Beyond income and business opportunities, speaking also gives you a way to share the ideas that could change your industry. It's about building the reputation you deserve. It's about transforming from hidden expert to recognized authority.

"I got my mojo back"
My power has been awakened and there's no stopping me. Now I got my mojo back. I got my serenity back and I got my confidence back. And in the process I had fun. I met new friends and I learned a lot of new things about myself, and now my life is on track and on purpose. Through this experience and wisdom I get to help so many people. I get to help executives develop their presence, I advise, I get to do workshops. I love to speak and mentor and coach. This is what I was born to do.

"My most authentic"
I'm able to connect with the audience on big stages when I have a message that I am prepared and want to communicate. It was probably my most authentic time here. Anyway, I just, I appreciate this community. I appreciate the space. I appreciate the ability to be myself and be accepted for who I am and the value that I can bring to the team, and I am appreciating the value of this amplified version of self. So thank you.

"Pure brilliance"
I was questioning who exactly is my audience? Like who, specifically, are the people who need to hear this message that I have? We dove in. We started peeling back layers, discovering more and more about who we were. That was the magic. Being able to show up with a community, and really discover what is this magic that I carry? What is this brilliance that I have to offer the world? And I walked away knowing myself more and more deeply than I ever did before. It was pure brilliance.

The reason SPEAK With Confidence works so well…
…is because we focus on what really matters: clarity, structure, and performance. This is not about becoming a slick motivational guru with nothing substantive to say.
It’s about taking your real expertise and packaging it in a way that captivates.
We help you cut the fluff and endless rambling, and replace it with a clear message and a wow-worthy delivery.
The confidence you gain isn’t just for show. It comes from being thoroughly prepared and knowing you have a rock-solid talk under your belt. And remember, you won’t be doing this alone.
From day one, we’re walking this journey with you, side by side. SPEAK With Confidence was built to feel like Melanie and Dan are right there with you, coaching you through each step. Whenever you need help or feedback, you have multiple layers of support (more on that below).

The Time for Hiding Your Expertise Is Over
Every day you wait is another day someone else is building the thought leadership that should be yours. Every postponement is another opportunity missed. Every "maybe someday" is another step backward while others sprint ahead.
Your expertise matters. Your perspective is needed. Your voice deserves to be heard.
The question isn't whether you have something valuable to share — you do. The question is whether you'll develop the skills and confidence to share it effectively.
Thought leadership isn't created overnight, but it starts with a single step. It starts with deciding that your ideas are too important to keep locked away in your head.
One Year From Now, You'll Be in One of Two Places:
Option One
Still sitting in the audience, watching others present the ideas you should be sharing, feeling frustrated that recognition goes to those who speak up instead of those who know the most.
Option Two
Standing confidently on stages that matter, sharing your expertise with audiences who need to hear your message, building the reputation and income that reflects your true value.
Standing confidently on stages that matter, sharing your expertise with audiences who need to hear your message, building the reputation and income that reflects your true value.
The only difference between these two scenarios is the decision you make right now.
Your expertise has been patient long enough. It's time to give it the voice it deserves.
Your expertise has been patient long enough. It's time to give it the voice it deserves.
P.S. — Remember, this is backed by our 60-day guarantee. The only risk is continuing to let your expertise go unheard. Your industry needs your voice. Isn't it time you started using it?
