Finally, get paid to speak with The Speaking Prescription

This course will help you understand the business of professional public speaking so you can finally get paid for the expertise you deliver. Earning substantial income from the stage is easier than you think.

ENROLL NOW

Nothing advances your career like the visibility and expertise that comes with being an in-demand speaker.

This is true whether you're moving up the academic ladder or hoping to earn additional income from speaking. But if you're like most healthcare leaders, you probably haven't figured out how to make this work for you.

Preparing presentations, traveling, and delivering on stage can be very time consuming and stressful. Worse, it can actually cost YOU money to accept speaking 'invitations' when you factor in time away from your regular work.

This is confusing and frustrating, but it doesn't have to be that way!

The Speaking Rx is the ONLY program of its kind that:

1. Is developed and taught by a physician who understands your challenges and the norms of your current speaking environment - including some risks that may never have crossed your mind

2. Is offered by a Professional Speaker with the National Speakers Association - I've been a well paid speaker for 8+ years (and I was an unpaid speaker like most of my students for several years before I figured this out!)

3. Explains the business of public speaking (contracts, negotiations, marketing, branding) as well as the skills that differentiate you as a pro-level presenter that's worth promoting, hiring, and paying!

4. Breaks the myths and delivers straight talk about the huge number of opportunities you likely hadn't considered before, and how to get those opportunities to come to you

5. Truly understands how much a successful speaking business can accelerate your traditional career, or provide a means to more income (which can buy you more balance in your life and medical work)

6. Is highly recommended by your peers - other physicians - who have experienced big breakthroughs and results. (Read what other doctors say about The Rx Series courses here and here.)

The Speaking Rx offers you a stress-free, streamlined path to professional advancement as a sought-after speaker...without waiting for others to notice you, and without the uncertainty of figuring it out alone.

Sound familiar?

Today, you're probably an undervalued expert giving talks. Wouldn't you rather be a sought-after physician speaker delivering pro-level presentations that earn you better opportunities and more income?

With easy-to-follow lessons and step-by-step implementation homework, The Speaking Prescription will show you how to navigate the career-boosting business of professional speaking. Finally, get the opportunities and rewards you deserve.

"When I was trying to figure it out on my own, it was overwhelming. But now I feel like it's absolutely possible. I have a much better overall picture and easy steps to move through.  Before taking this course, my biggest challenge was simply knowing where to start. I was spending so much time scattered all over the internet trying to learn, but this course helped me focus on the right areas. Now I'm more efficient, productive, and less stressed. "
