How to become a paid speaker. In this episode Judith Germain speaks to Grant Baldwin about getting paid to speak. He shares his SPEAK Frameworkโ„ข and his thoughts on whether you should have a set talk or one that is highly customised.

Grant explains that speakers want to be the steakhouse and not the buffer and the need for your own ‘movie trailer’. In this conversation they discuss whether there is a need to hire a speaker agent or register on a bureau. Grant shares how you are the solution to a problem the buyer already has.

This conversation was originally recorded in June 22.

Grant Baldwin is the CEO and Founder of The Speaker Lab. They help aspiring speakers get consistently booked and paid to speak through their SPEAK Frameworkโ„ข, or the โ€œbusinessโ€ side of speaking.”


Maverick leadership is all about thinking outside the box and challenging the status quo. It’s about having the courage to take risks and the confidence to lead in a way that is authentic and genuine.

But amplifying your influence as a leader isn’t just about having a strong vision or a big personality. It’s also about having the right leadership capability and being able to execute on your ideas and plans.

The consequences of not having the right level of influence as a leader can be significant. Without the ability to inspire and motivate others, you may struggle to achieve your goals and make a real impact.
