Getting Paid as a Public Speaker

​Have you ever sat on a panel and thought, “Should I be doing this for free? How much is the person next to me getting paid? #help” 

​Money is complicated—everyone is going after it, and nobody wants to talk about it. Turning your expertise into impactful speaking content, and then monetizing it can feel like an opaque process. We’re here to pull the curtain back and change the conversation around much-deserved speaker fees at all levels of public speaking.

​How do you decide when to take free gigs? How much should you charge? How do you stand your ground when an event organizer asks for your brainpower, but tells you they “don’t have the budget?” And, how do you accept that your knowledge is actually worth getting paid for?

​Badassery CEO & Founder Danielle Letayf will be chatting with some of our speakers about getting paid what you deserve. We’ll be covering everything from landing that first check to strategies to set your rates. You’ll leave this discussion with lots of insider knowledge (yes, we’ll be talking actual numbers) and tactics to reel in the speaking income that you deserve. 

​Your badass panelists:

• ​Elise Schuster, Founder and CEO @ okayso

• ​Kason Morris, Head of Learning Experience Design @ Salesforce

• ​Tina Yip, Founder @ strtgst

​*Please note this event is pay-as-you-wish! All proceeds will be divided evenly among our speakers—we practice what we preach ✊
