Episode 13: How to become a speaker event hosts actually want to book

In this episode of the Empower House Podcast, I’m pulling back the curtain on how I choose speakers for my events — and what actually makes someone stand out as a professional, credible, and easy-to-work-with speaker. After hosting networking events on the Gold Coast for over seven and a half years and running more than 70 events, I get asked all the time how speakers are selected. Whether you want to speak on podcasts, at live events, or inside online spaces, this episode will help you understand what event hosts are really looking for — and how to position yourself as a clear “yes”. I share why effort matters, how following the application process can make or break an opportunity, and why contributing to the community before asking for the stage is one of the smartest moves you can make. If speaking is part of your visibility or growth strategy, this episode will help you approach it with clarity, confidence, and intention. What you’ll learn in this episode: What event hosts actually look for when choosing speakers. Why following the application process matters more than you think. How to create a simple one-page speaker profile that works for you. Why content is essential, even if you’re a brand-new speaker. The importance of contributing to the community before asking for the stage. How smaller, more intimate rooms can be powerful for brand building. How to be referable, professional, and easy to work with as a speaker. If you’re looking to step into speaking — or refine how you’re showing up — I’d love to hear from you.
