Showing Up Authentically in the Speaking Industry with Evolve Benton and Erica Courdae

So often we have a desire to be visible. But there’s also a distinct lack of transparency in the visibility industry, whether you’re an influencer, a photographer, a model, a speaker, even musicians and actors.

It’s really challenging to figure out what other people charge. And what you should, could, or can charge to collaborate with a brand or appear as a speaker.

Evolve Benton joins India and Erica for a discussion on the speaking industry, how to diversify speaking, and using publicity and speaking as means of financial freedom.

In this discussion:

• Why you need to speak in, as well as out with your goals and affirmations
• Why professional communities need to allow us to be our whole selves
• How to set pricing that honors your capacity, needs, and the value you bring
• Why asking for more is about more than just you

When we communicate with others, we have the opportunity to create impact in our lives and brand, as well as impact in the world, influencing the way people think, the actions they take, and the things they consider.

Every month in Pause on the Play, The Community, we have a curated exploration of a theme through workshops, Q&As, and community conversation.

Join us as we dig into communicating for impact, and get access to all prior months’ themes, replays, and our thriving and supportive community.
