Speakers Speak LIVE is a 5-year running, weekly, highly vetted private event for professional speakers and business owners wanting to use speaking to build their business.
How its different: Unlike traditional webinars where the host speaks for an hour, or a typical networking group where it's all about introductions, Speakers Speak LIVE is community-driven and built around participation and peer support.
How it works: Attendees are scheduled in advance to deliver short 10-minute Showcase Presentations, facilitate meeting segments, and receive constructive feedback that builds confidence, clarity, and presence.
How it helps: The virtual event on Zoom fosters a positive mindset, strong community, and consistent action—making it a practical training ground for anyone who wants to speak more effectively and get referred to be a guest on podcasts and online summits and be referred for in person speaking opportunities as well.
When: Every Wednesday (except major holiday weeks), starting with a short pre-event five minutes before the main event which starts at noon (EST), 11am (CST), 10am (MST), 9am (PST) and ends at 1pm (EST), 12pm (CST), 11am (MST), 10am (PST). A 10-minute post-event discussion occurs after the each main event conclusion.
Cost: Free to attend and participate.
Registration: One-time required and then you can attend any or all weekly sessions that your calendar allows.

Achieve Speakers LIVE is a monthly, public event virtual speaker showcase designed to connect experienced speakers, experts, and thought leaders with event planners, meeting organizers, and decision-makers. It serves as a live preview environment where speakers demonstrate their expertise in a concise, high-impact format.
How It’s Different:
Unlike traditional webinars or speaker directories, Achieve Speakers LIVE allows decision-makers to see speakers in action rather than relying on reels or written profiles. Speakers deliver focused presentations in a real event setting, giving organizers an authentic experience of style, clarity, and stage presence.
How It Works:
Each event features a curated lineup of speakers delivering short, polished 10-minute Showcase Presentations on Zoom. Speakers are scheduled in advance, coached on timing and structure, and presented in a professional, well-facilitated environment that mirrors real conference conditions.
How It Helps:
Achieve Speakers LIVE helps speakers increase visibility, credibility, and booking opportunities by putting them directly in front of people who hire speakers. For event organizers, it simplifies the selection process by providing immediate exposure to high-quality speakers they can confidently invite to conferences, corporate events, podcasts, and summits.
When:
Achieve Speakers LIVE runs every 3rd Wednesday with clearly scheduled start and end times to respect both speakers’ and attendees’ calendars.
Cost:
Free to attend for event planners, organizers, and the general public. Speaker participation requirements and qualifications are determined through the Achieve Systems process.
