Feeling stuck on the sidelines of the speaking world? Here’s why, and how to finally steal the spotlight.

In this episode, Jacqueline Brooker rips the covers off the real reason most emerging and aspiring speakers are stuck spinning their wheels: they’re either invisible, or visible but forgettable. 

She shares a powerful new model, a simple but brutally honest continuum, that shows you exactly where you are right now, why you’re stuck there, and how to move toward being wildly compelling and irresistible to both audiences and organisers. 

With real-world examples and tangible steps you can start today. This is an episode for anyone tired of “just missing it” and ready to own the room (and the contract).

WHAT YOU’LL DISCOVER IN THIS EPISODE:

• Why so many talented speakers aren’t getting booked and how the “visibility to compelling” continuum changes everything (00:00)
• What makes a wildly compelling speaker impossible to ignore (01:36)
• Mastering the tension between wowing a crowd and making organisers say yes without hesitation (05:18)
• The Audience Ladder and how to move from invisible to wildy compelling (06:04)
• The Organiser’s Ladder and what event planners are really looking for (12:00)
• 7 shifts to become the speaker they can’t stop talking about (17:39)
• How to finally get noticed when no one’s paying attention (26:29). 

If you’re tired of playing small, tired of second-guessing, and ready to build a speaking career that actually moves people and moves markets, this episode gives you the blueprint. 

Stop waiting for the stage to call you. Make them chase you instead.
