Why do some experts command premium fees, attract corporate opportunities, and become the obvious choice for speaking, consulting, and training engagements, while others struggle to get noticed?

The answer isn't simply expertise. It's trust.

In today's Trust Economy, organizations don't hire the most qualified person, they hire the person they perceive as the most credible, visible, and trustworthy.

In this presentation, Dr. Richard Kaye, author of The Trust Economy, reveals the strategies top thought leaders use to increase their influence, expand their credibility, and create the exposure that positions them as the go-to authority in their field.

Attendees will discover how to:

• Turn expertise into authority and authority into revenue

• Build instant credibility with corporate decision-makers

• Leverage publicity and media exposure to accelerate trust

• Position themselves as the obvious expert in a crowded marketplace

• Use books, media, speaking, and strategic visibility, to open corporate doors

• Create influence that leads to higher fees, larger contracts, and long-term opportunities

Whether you're a speaker, coach, consultant, trainer, or author, you'll leave with practical strategies to increase your visibility, strengthen your reputation, and become the trusted expert corporations actively seek out and hire.

In a marketplace crowded with experts, the greatest advantage isn't having more knowledge . . . it's becoming the trusted authority organizations already want to hire.

Somewhere in a corporate office right now, someone is signing off on a six-figure training spend for content no better than yours. The difference isn't talent. It's that their expertise was packaged and yours is performed.

In 40 minutes, you'll learn why corporations are starving for what you know and still structurally can't buy it, the five assets that turn expertise into something an organization is able to purchase, and the three licensing models, with real numbers that turn one deal into a renewal.

You'll leave knowing whether you're two weeks from your first corporate contract or two quarters. Both are useful answers. Not knowing is the expensive one.

A successful B2B sales pipeline relies on having qualified sales calls with corporate decision-makers and yet... most coaches and consultants really struggle to book a steady stream of qualified sales calls with the right prospects.During this session, participants will learn:

• The two main qualities that differentiate a qualified prospect from an unqualified prospect so that participants don't waste time having calls with non-decision-makers.
• The three types of lead generation that create a solid stream of qualified sales calls with brand new, qualified corporate contacts.
• How to track and measure their lead generation efforts (with best practice metrics!) so that participants know exactly what they should be measuring (and the metrics that really matter for their lead generation!)

Corporate buyers do not book the best speaker. They book the safest, most credible one. Before a decision-maker signs a contract, they check whether your authority holds up: what shows when they search you, who has vouched for you, whether your expertise looks real or rehearsed. This session shows how to build the credibility that makes organizations confident to hire you at premium fees. Katherine Tuominen, founder of an award-winning PR agency, walks through the authority assets that de-risk the buying decision for corporate clients. You will leave able to audit how a corporate buyer currently perceives you, build the proof stack that shortens the path to yes, and position yourself as the low-risk expert organizations want in the room.

You have the expertise.

You have the keynote.

You know you can deliver results.

So why do corporate buyers hire one qualified speaker, consultant, coach, or trainer over another?

The answer often has less to do with your expertise than with the confidence you inspire before a contract is ever signed.

Every discovery call, proposal presentation, keynote preview, networking conversation, and executive meeting answers one question for the buyer:

"Can I trust this person to represent our organization?"

In this practical, highly interactive session, Laura Doman reveals how communication directly influences buying decisions inside organizations. Drawing from her experience as a corporate sales executive, professional actor, voice actor, and communication strategist, she'll share the same principles she uses to help professionals become more believable, credible, and influential in high-stakes business conversations.

Attendees will learn how corporate buyers assess trust and perceived risk, how subtle communication habits can unintentionally weaken credibility, and how to communicate with the executive presence that positions them as trusted business partners rather than interchangeable vendors.

Whether you're meeting with Human Resources, Learning & Development, Sales Leadership, department heads, or executive decision-makers, you'll leave with practical tools you can immediately apply to discovery calls, proposal presentations, keynote previews, workshops, and client meetings.

Each participant will also receive Laura's Corporate Believability Check™, a practical self-assessment that helps strengthen credibility before every important client conversation.

Because getting the meeting is only the beginning.

The way you communicate determines whether you get the contract.

Three Audience Takeaways

1. Discover the hidden communication signals corporate buyers use to determine whether you're viewed as a trusted advisor or simply another qualified expert.

2. Apply the Believability Framework™ to discovery calls, proposal presentations, keynote previews, and executive meetings to increase trust, reduce perceived risk, and improve your chances of winning the business.

3. Leave with Laura's Corporate Believability Check™, a practical tool you can use before every important corporate conversation to strengthen credibility, increase buyer confidence, and position yourself for repeat business and larger contracts.

The biggest obstacle to your success isn't a lack of talent, experience, or expertise—it's that the right people don't know you exist.

Every day, brilliant speakers, coaches, entrepreneurs, and professionals are overlooked while less-qualified competitors land the stages, clients, media opportunities, and partnerships they deserve. Why? Because visibility beats ability when nobody knows who you are.

In this eye-opening presentation, professional speaker and media entrepreneur Lea Woodford reveals how to close the "Visibility Gap" by building a powerful personal brand, leveraging media strategically, and becoming the obvious choice in your industry. You'll discover practical strategies to increase your authority, amplify your message, and position yourself so opportunities start finding you.

Because talent gets you in the game—but visibility gets you chosen.

Many speakers think they can go into corporate training and use the same skills as when they are on a stage. Nope. The audience is different, the constraints are different, the content and intention are very different.

Marla will spell out the mostly unseen differences. She will also show you how to excel at being a speaker and a trainer, with an empahsis on how to be a corporate trainer who gets asked back again and again. 

Whether you speak on any type of stage or you want to speak in a meeting or as a trainer; learning how to be fully present and how to speak with Expressive IntelligenceTM will help you command the room, build trust, and create influence and income in any situation.

Marla's presentations are always interactive and create immediate transformation.

Most speakers, coaches, and consultants have powerful intellectual property — but it's built and worded for individual clients, not corporate buyers. When that IP shows up in a corporate pitch still wearing its personal-development language, procurement, HR, and L&D decision-makers can't see the business case, and the deal dies before it starts.

This session teaches attendees how to take an existing framework, methodology, or body of work and re-architect it into language and structure corporate buyers actually purchase — using a live, real-world example: the presenter's own IP (a relationship-infrastructure methodology built over 35+ years) and the exact process used to reposition it from individual-client work into a corporate-ready offer with quantifiable ROI.

Attendees will learn the diagnostic questions that reveal whether their message is corporate-ready, the specific language shifts that move an offer from "nice to have" to "budget line item," and how to build the proposal materials, ROI language, and positioning that get a session past the gatekeeper and into the room.

1. Three Key Takeaways

   1. The Corporate Translation Framework — a repeatable process for taking any personal-development, coaching, or relationship-based methodology and re-positioning it around a business problem corporate buyers are already funding.
   2. The Business Case for the Room — how to convert soft outcomes (better relationships, better trust, better communication) into hard metrics — retention cost, revenue impact, time-to-decision — that survive legal and procurement review.
   3. A Live Case Study — a real, in-progress example of this repositioning being applied to the presenter's own IP, so attendees leave with a template they can apply to their own work immediately.

Many speakers have great content but struggle to win corporate business because they’re selling a keynote when organizations are looking for business solutions.

In this practical session, Wall Street Journal and Publishers Weekly bestselling author Sheena Yap Chan shares how she transformed her expertise into corporate-ready keynotes, workshops, leadership programs, and consulting engagements by repositioning confidence and visibility as business outcomes organizations invest in.

You’ll learn how to identify the business problems your expertise solves, position your intellectual property in language corporate buyers understand, and build offers that extend beyond a single keynote into workshops, executive coaching, consulting, and long-term partnerships.

Whether you’re a speaker, coach, consultant, trainer, or author, you’ll leave with a practical framework for packaging your expertise into corporate offers that attract decision-makers, generate repeat business, and create scalable revenue.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Identify the business problem their expertise solves and position it for corporate buyers.
• Package one area of expertise into a keynote, workshop, consulting offer, or leadership program.
• Translate their framework, book, or methodology into language that resonates with HR, Learning & Development, executives, and business leaders.
• Develop a next-step strategy for turning one corporate engagement into additional contracts, recurring revenue, and long-term partnerships.

Most speakers spend their careers pursuing the next booking, the next stage, the next yes. Simon T. Bailey spent two decades doing the opposite — building a message so magnetic that 2,600 organizations across 55 countries came to him. A former Disney Institute sales leader, author of twelve books, and creator of the nationally recognized State of Working America study, Simon pulls back the curtain on the shift that changes everything: when you stop selling a speech and start amplifying hope, you become the speaker organizations can't afford to miss. In a world reshaped by AI and rising emotional fatigue, the human-centered voice isn't just needed — it's chased.

Three Takeaways:

1. The Magnet Shift — why chasing stages keeps you replaceable, and the repositioning that turns your message into the thing decision-makers come looking for.
2. Hope Is a Business Model — how amplifying hope (not just delivering content) creates the referrals, rebookings, and reputation that compound into a career.
3. Be the Voice AI Can't Replace — the one asset no algorithm can automate, and how to build your speaking, writing, and coaching business around it.
