Do you dream of having a successful speaking business but just can’t seem to generate a steady stream of full-fee gigs?

Hey Fly Peeps, I want to help you shave years off your learning curve and get paid what you’re worth for your message!

With the right information and access to the right mentor, you CAN grow your speaking business and get paid well to do what you love!

Here’s what I know…

  • There are way too many brilliant speakers out there—just like you—who have SO much to offer… but who often struggle because they don’t know where to start or how to go from free to full-fee.
  • So many speakers I know with powerful messages to share are not speaking as often as they’d like or getting paid what they are really worth.
  • As speakers, we fill so many roles in our businesses that it’s easy to become overworked and exhausted. Too often, speakers focus on their platform skills but struggle because they haven’t mastered the business skills needed to build a profitable speaking career.

It doesn’t have to be this way!

I’ve had challenges and I’ve succeeded, and now I’m prepared to share my best advice and tips so YOU can create a powerful speaking business faster and smarter while remaining true to your most important values!

Are You Ready to Make Money with Your Message?

I am a mom, wife, Marine (no longer active), former professional women’s football player, “recovering” combat pilot, bestselling author, and professional speaker ($25,000 per keynote). Brands such as Pepsi, Comcast, NASA, IBM and Delta Airlines as well as colleges, universities, and associations hire me to inspire, educate, and elevate their peeps.

Now, you might be thinking…WOW! I want to get paid top dollar to share my message.

The good news is, you can!!!

But, you have to be willing to work for it. This is where the Marine in me comes out. I’m going to give it to you straight, no B.S. and none of that fluffy stuff. But, that’s what people in my tribe want. You need the real info to get real results.

Within the first four months of starting my speaking business, I was a month behind in my house note. By month 12, I had broken 6-figures and broke 7-figures by year four. Why share??? Because I didn’t start off as a 5-figure per keynote speaker, and my success obviously wasn’t overnight (thank God we didn’t lose the house!). But with my help, you don’t have to make the same mistakes I made, or learn the lessons I did, the hard way.

I want to help you learn how to build a money-making speaking business, become an amazing speaker and make the Gutsy Moves it is going to take to accomplish the mission.

That’s why I’m excited to invite you to Gutsy Speaker LIVE! It’s an experience you won’t forget and I believe it will be a defining moment in your speaking career as long as you show up ready to learn, and most importantly, ENGAGE.

The personal transformation you’ll experience will catapult your speaking to a new level.

Don’t just mark your calendar for December 7 – 9, 2017, click the link and register right now. In your gut you know it’s right and maybe it’s going to take a little guts to do it. Don’t get stuck in procrastination and deny your purpose on the planet…again. Join us in Atlanta for an epic, juicy, GUTSY event!

In order to be successful, you gotta Get Gutsy!

See you in December!

Who is FlyGirl?

And is She the Mentor for Me?

When I know what I want, I go for it. I went from being a beat cop to a combat pilot in a record-breaking three years. After serving two tours in Iraq, I became America’s first African American Female Combat Pilot. When I returned, everyone was asking me how I achieved my goals. What I discovered is, everyone wants to create a breakthrough, they just don’t know how.

Upon completion of two tours in Iraq and leaving the military, I knew I would become a professional speaker. I wanted to create breakthrough change with people from the inside out, and translate my hard-earned leadership and resilience lessons into practical strategies that people could use in the boardroom, with their families, and in their lives.

Like every new speaker, I was excited. I worked hard and thought my phone would start ringing as soon as people knew how good I was. In the beginning, I spoke (A LOT) for less than my full fee. I banged my head against the wall trying to figure out how to make this “speaking business” work.

I invested in coaches, enlisted the help of mentors, developed my platform skills, and learned how to run my business like a CEO. Through a series of gutsy moves and by taking action, I was able to break 6-figures in my first year of business and 7-figures in four.

Before long, aspiring speakers and business owners were asking me to help them distill THEIR lessons into a message they could get paid top dollar to deliver from worldwide stages.

I soon discovered by talking to hundreds of aspiring and seasoned speakers that there are common barriers to achieving such success.

THE TOP 3 BARRIERS

Do You Face These Challenges to Building a Booming Speaking Business?

Going from Free to Full-Fee

The number one challenge I hear from speakers is the struggle to get paid their full fee. You can’t sustain a speaking business if you are constantly being paid with “Chicken Dinners.” I will teach you powerful strategies to consistently get paid what you’re worth.

Getting Enough Gigs

It’s plain and simple. If you don’t speak, you don’t eat. Many speakers I coach are talented on the platform, but just don’t know how to find enough gigs to build a booming speaking business. I will share my secrets for keeping my speaking calendar packed with paid gigs.

Running Your Back Office

Speaking is more than just being on stage. Your ability to run the back office will have more impact on your success than your speaking skills.

Gutsy Speaker Live

Finally, an Event that Reveals Behind the Scene Speaker Secrets

The Gutsy Speaker Live event is unlike other events. FlyGirl pulls back the curtain and shares things that other speakers won’t. No question is off limits. Unlike other speaking programs that offer fragmented pieces of the puzzle, you’ll learn the science and systems of growing your speaking business using FlyGirl’s proven Gutsy Speaker framework.

Nothing but the Best Top Notch Training

Because, That’s How We Roll

Module 1 - What's Your GUTSY Factor?

I’ll share a secret with you right now: Success is a choice and today you get to choose which path you will take. You can either intentionally move in the direction of your goals, or you can retreat and sabotage your dreams. As a speaker, when you discover your GUTSY Factor, you’ll be able to leverage it to consistently generate more gigs and spin-off business.

Module 2 - The Power of Your Message

Maybe you’ve got a big message to share and you want the skills to do it brilliantly on large stages. Or maybe you are simply looking to feel more confidence and clarity in speaking up at team meetings. This is about you becoming totally free, clear, and confident to share your voice so you can have the impact you want to have and change our world.

Module 3 - The Truth of Your Story

Have you noticed that when someone shares their story authentically, they create a powerful emotional connection? That is because vulnerability carries power. Truth is universal. Your biography carries details different than anyone else’s.

But truth in the story is the thread that brings us all together.

Module 4 - Get Booked, Get Paid

Learn the secrets of landing lucrative speaking engagements. I’m talking about step-by-step instructions, battle-tested and time-proven strategies to position you to land the gig every time.

Bonus - High Quality Networking

If you have ever been to any of my events, then you know we bring high energy! Be ready for celebration, fun, and authentic connection with other inspiring people.

And Of Course, No-Nonsense Laser Coaching

I have too much respect for your gift and your why to beat around the bush and not give it to you straight. This event isn’t a parade of speakers. It’s you and me, crafting your path to your Gutsy Life.

What People Are Saying:

Real Results from Our Satisfied Clients

“There are a lot of coaches teaching about speaking out there, and I’ve paid big dollars for a lot of great speaking business programs. The best ones all have great content and they all have their different pros and cons. There are programs out there that teach selling from stage and those are great too. But if you want to work with a coach who teaches you how to GET PAID TO SPEAK and at a reasonable price point, this program is for you!

Vernice is out there on the speaking circuit right now bringing in big dollars (~25K) per keynote speaking appearance, which is exactly what I hope to do with my speaking career. She gave me massive actionable advice that is rapidly moving me forward. In her program, she gives you the nuts and bolts on exactly what to do to get paid to speak.

She’s no nonsense, she’s on top of her game and she cares about your success!

Don’t stop, RUN, and sign up for Gutsy Speaker LIVE! today!”

Mary Ottman

Business & Leadership Success Coach/Professional Speaker, Rapid Results

“Vernice is a BEAST when it comes to training speakers to get in the game in a BIG way!”

“I am a multiple 7-figure earning entrepreneur–but brand new to becoming a keynote speaker. My biggest fear was: how do I get started? How do I get gigs when I have NOTHING in place. On my first call with Vernice, she challenged me to book a keynote and do it in less than a month. I thought she was nuts. But she provided amazing strategies to do so. One day after implementing her strategies, I had 6 leads. In 72 hours I had 10!!! Now, she is helping me speak with confidence about fees and closing keynotes on the phone! Vernice is a MASTER at the BUSINESS of keynoting! Thank you, Vernice, for helping me step into spotlight Get GUTSY! I am excited about crushing it with my keynote!”

Venus Opal-Reese

CEO, Defy Impossible

I’ve booked three events that will take place within the next three months.

“After I started presenting at conferences two years ago, I knew that I’d eventually want to start keynoting as well. I did not know how to that. Now that I’m training with FlyGirl, I understand what I have to do. She’s helped me understand how to craft my message, who my target audience is, and how to connect with others on my industry. Since March, I have conducted a meeting EVERY day-either in-person or on the phone-regarding my speaking business. Using the strategies FlyGirl has shared with me, I literally speak to someone EVERY DAY about my business and I’ve booked three events that will take place within the next three months. Since our VIP day, I go to at least one event per week to meet people. For me, this is Super Gutsy, because I don’t like talking to people I don’t know; but now that I’m doing it, I am getting results!”
