Intro To Corporate Speaking for Women

Corporate speaking is a hidden gem—and one of the most under-tapped income streams for women with powerful voices. Because the industry is often exclusive and gatekept, this experience is designed to pull back the curtain and show everyday women how to enter this lucrative space.
You don’t need a Fortune 500 title to bring value. Your life experiences, leadership journey, communication style, or resilience through adversity can be packaged into powerful lessons that benefit corporate teams—especially in areas like mental health, DEI, authenticity, leadership, and team dynamics.

Corporate speaking fees typically range from $5,000 to $50,000 per event and can elevate your professional credibility overnight. Companies are actively looking for diverse, authentic voices with real-world insight to shift away from outdated training formats. This space opens the door to more than just speaking—think: book deals, consulting, brand partnerships, leadership trainings, coaching, and more. It positions you as a thought leader in your lane, even without a traditional corporate background.

Amazing Training!

June 25, 2025

I cannot even believe how incredible this training was. I skeptical that it would be lots of fluff and non-specific information but to my surprise Deshauna was very organized, communicated with all of us leading up the training and then spent 4 hours providing so much detailed information! I am so excited for the next training!
