Jenn Espinosa-Goswami: 我专注于帮助企业家提升演讲技巧,在舞台、镜头前或网络研讨会上清晰、一致、自信地表达,并通过专业知识获得报酬。我帮助客户克服演讲焦虑,找到独特的演讲主题,并将其转化为商业机会。我反对在演讲中过度关注个人经历,而应将重点放在满足听众需求上。我建议在演讲中至少两次提及你的免费赠品,不要只在最后几分钟提及。我还建议在演讲过程中穿插问答环节,而不是只在最后进行问答。在网络研讨会中,不要在最后才进行问答环节,而应该在演讲过程中穿插问答,以保持参与度。 在演讲中,你不应该试图证明自己有资格演讲,而应该让结果和案例来说话。演讲时应该有一点恐惧感,这可以转化为兴奋感,但要清晰地了解你的演讲内容和目标。要建立一个持续获得演讲机会的系统,需要与已经举办活动并有预算的组织建立联系。可以使用AI工具来辅助寻找演讲机会,例如使用ChatGPT填写申请表,但不能完全依赖AI。制作宣传视频需要投资,但如果想获得高额报酬的演讲机会,则非常有必要。TEDx演讲机会很多,但竞争激烈,且演讲风格受限,对提升商业价值不一定有很大帮助。 Jenny Wright: 我认为即使感到紧张或不自信,也应该尝试演讲,因为这可能会帮助到需要的人。在决定是否接受演讲机会时,要考虑这个主题是否能帮助自己以期望的方式成长。我同意演讲的重点不是激情,而是你的信息是否有目的,并且你不是信息的中心人物。在演讲中,可以使用少量个人故事来佐证主题,但不要过度。付费演讲机会需要建立人脉关系,而不是简单地发布求职信息。在演讲中至少两次提及你的免费赠品,不要只在最后几分钟提及。

What’s the #1 mistake keeping speakers from making money—and are YOU making it?

If you’ve ever dreamed of stepping onto a stage and delivering a talk that not only captivates but also converts—this episode is for you. Because let’s be real… public speaking isn’t just about sharing your message—it’s about getting paid for it.

This week, I’m sitting down with the incredible Jenn Espinosa-Goswami, an experienced speaker and coach who helps entrepreneurs speak with clarity, confidence, and consistency—whether on stage, on camera, or in webinars. If you’ve been stuck in the cycle of free gigs, unsure how to turn speaking into a legitimate revenue stream, Jenn is here to spill the secrets on how to transition from “exposure” to paid opportunities that grow your business.

Here’s what we’re covering in today’s episode:

  • How to overcome stage fright and OWN the room (or Zoom!)
  • The power of a signature talk—and why having one makes you the speaker event planners WANT
  • How to stop taking unpaid gigs and start commanding top-dollar speaking fees
  • The truth about TEDx talks—are they worth it for your speaking career?
  • How to structure your talk for engagement (aka, keep them hooked from your first sentence to your final call to action)
  • The role of AI in speaker success—and how tools like ChatGPT can help you land gigs
  • Speaker reels: Do you really need one? And what makes one stand out

Public speaking isn’t just for coaches or consultants—it’s for ANYONE who wants to increase their authority, attract high-ticket clients, and become the go-to expert in their niche.

If you’ve been wondering how to leverage speaking to grow your audience, boost sales, and build brand authority, this episode is packed with actionable takeaways to make it happen.
