The Biggest Mistakes New Speakers Make Before They Start
About this episode
Public speaking isn’t just about sharing a message, it’s about creating authority, visibility, and profit. In this episode of The Tarryn Reeves Show, I sit down with powerhouse speaker, author, and transformational coach Evolve Benton, the force behind Speaking for Profit University.
Evolve has helped students generate over $3 million in revenue through public speaking and consulting, trained more than 100 global organisations, and was named one of the world’s top 10 public speaking coaches by Yahoo Finance. Together, we dive deep into:
- How to land paid speaking gigs (and stop speaking for free).
- The power of creating a signature talk—your “killer single” that audiences will never forget.
- Why entrepreneurs should combine a speaking career with a bestselling book to unlock visibility, income, and impact.
- The biggest mistakes new speakers make (and how to avoid them).
- How to pitch events and conferences with confidence… and actually get booked.
Whether you’re an entrepreneur looking to grow your authority, a coach ready to amplify your influence, or a leader who wants to get paid to speak, this conversation is packed with strategies to help you step onto the stage with confidence and cash in on your expertise.
If you’ve ever wondered how to turn your voice into a revenue stream, this episode will show you the exact path.
