"I had been seeking speaking opportunities through word of mouth. Now I know where to look, how to respond to calls for speakers and connect beyond my own community."

"I booked a mental health day at a school directly because of the work I did in SBA. Without SBA, I wouldn't have known how to respond to this opportunity and I probably would have lost it."
Hi, I’m Aurora Gregory, creator of Speaker Brand Academy and host of The Stage Whisperer podcast.
After 20+ years pitching Fortune 100 execs onto packed stages, I had to pitch myself as speaker. Spoiler: it was harder than I expected.
Turns out, being an expert isn’t enough to get picked.
Contrary to popular belief, it’s not about your credentials — it’s about the clarity of your speaker brand.
Once I applied the same branding principles I’d used for my corporate clients , doors opened. Invites multiplied. And now I help others do the same — no guesswork, no overwhelm.
The truth? Stages don’t go to the most experienced people. They go to the clearest.
When your speaker brand communicates what you
really deliver for audiences — transformation, not titles — you stop chasing gigs and start getting chosen.
Identify the real reason planners pass you over and how to fix it fast.
Pinpoint what makes you unforgettable on stage.
Shift from imposter syndrome to speaker clarity.
Translate your lived experience into a message that gets booked.
Stop relying on random referrals and start pitching with confidence.
Know what to say in your one-sheet and pitch - no more guessing.
Build a brand that works for you, even when you're offline.
Feel excited (not anxious) about pitching our next stage.
Through lots of trial and error — and one humbling book launch — I learned being good at what you do doesn’t guarantee visibility.
I built a speaker brand for myself, just like I do for execs — and it changed everything.
Now I’ve taken students through the same process. Some booked stages during the program, podcast features, paid keynotes, and corporate invites.
And now I want to share how to do it with you!
