Speaking Opportunities Beyond the Keynote Speech: Episode 22

Speaking Opportunities Beyond the Keynote SpeechBuilding Your Speaking Suite (Keynotes, Breakouts, and Training)Jenn expands on creating a speaking lifestyle by explaining how to build a suite of speaking programs beyond a single signature speech, comparing keynotes, breakout sessions, and corporate trainings. She describes keynotes (typically 20–60 minutes) as the “gold standard” focused on inspiration and motivation, often higher paid, and notes the growing popularity of fireside chats as a more interactive keynote-style format. Breakout sessions (60–90 minutes) are highly engaging, implementation-focused deep dives that are often unpaid but can offer backend monetization and may include resources like workbooks. Corporate training is a hands-on, facilitated immersion designed to change behavior and upskill teams over hours or days, requiring strong room-reading and activity leadership. She encourages aligning formats to goals, strengths (entertainment, education, engagement), capacity, travel preferences, and prospecting strategies.Resources Mentioned:Episode 16 What to Charge for your Speaking Fee https://www.buzzsprout.com/2593278/episodes/19255784Elevate your Presentation with the 3 E's Guidewww.jennspingo.com/free-guide00:00 Building Your Speaking Suite00:29 Keynote Speaking Basics02:58 Fireside Chats Explained03:51 Breakout Sessions Deep Dive05:52 Corporate Training That Changes Behavior07:40 Choosing Your Best Format09:02 The Three Es Self Assessment10:50 Mixing Formats for Your Goals12:14 Real World Speaking Examples12:59 Booking Strategy and Prospecting14:13 Wrap Up and Next StepsAre you looking to help your leaders communicate better?
