You can't afford to ignore this any longer. 👇

If your speaking business feels like it's going in circles, chances are one of these three things is holding you back right now:

🔴 You're avoiding marketing and sales because it feels pushy or off-brand. As Winston March CSP puts it: "You need to be a better marketer of what you do, than a doer of what you do!"

🔴 You're losing prospects at the conversion stage, and that gap is costing you tens of thousands in missed revenue every single year.

🔴 You're leaving existing clients as one-time customers, when with the right system they could become long-term partners and a reliable source of income.

Sound familiar? You are absolutely not alone in this, and the good news is there is a proven way through it. ✨

PSA's BOOST! program is a 6-month coaching system designed specifically for speakers, trainers, MCs, coaches and facilitators who are ready to close the gap between where they are and where they want to be.

Here's a question worth sitting with: when someone asks an AI tool to recommend a speaker in your area, do you come up? 🤔

If earned media has been on your to-do list but never quite made it to the top, this PSA WA Chapter event is for you.

Carmen Braidwood, award-winning broadcaster and PSA WA Chapter President, will facilitate a candid conversation between two experts who know this space inside out:

🎙️ Heidi Anderson, PR specialist and ex-breakfast radio host, on landing earned media opportunities that genuinely build your profile.

📺 Sandra Di Girolamo, media trainer and TV producer, on how to handle media in a way that builds trust and keeps you bookable.

Together they'll cover:
- The connection between earned media, AI recommendations, and speaker bookings.
- What makes a media appearance work for you rather than against you.
- How to become someone journalists and producers keep coming back to.

There's also time built in to pitch stories, practise for interviews, and apply the insights to your own business.

Key Details:
📅 Monday the 15th of June.
⏰ 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM AWST.
📍 EVOLVE, Level 1, 20 Southport St, West Leederville.
