Why You Need To Join Us…

Simply stated… You do not have to be on this journey of learning how to share your message with the world by yourself! 

It’s time to be in the presence of like-minded professionals, face to face, learning winning strategies and sharing positive and profound energy.

It’s time to elevate your speaking game, say good bye to endless searching online and hello to a calendar full of speaking engagements that are not just looking for you, but are ready to pay you for your expertise.

There is immense power to be had at live events… and that’s exactly what this is experience is about!

This experience is a melding of paid speaking strategies + community + mindset + luxury

Who Is This For?

This is for the speaker who wants to increase their bookings (how to locate, pitch and land gigs) and implement a business model that will help you book 4 and 5 figure speaking engagements.

This is for the expert who knows that they have something to share with the world but does not know how to move from free to PAID.

It’s for those who are ready to speak internationally (and book more local & international gigs) in addition to adding “International Speaker” to their media kit.

Every one of you will be speaking in Barcelona!

Here's Exactly Why YOU Need To Be Here...

You will spend 3 INCREDIBLE DAYS taking the SUCCESS of your speaking business to a WHOLE NEW LEVEL.

We will be covering the TOP SPEAKER BUSINESS MODELS including unique marketing pitches and implementation plans that will have meeting planners contacting you to speak, rather than you chasing them down.

You will leave knowing the top 3 strategies that can have speaking leads in your inbox within hours.  
You’ll identify your blind spots, AMPLIFY YOUR STRENGTHS, and solve your challenges.
10X YOUR IMPACT

Would all of this be worth coming to the Barcelona, Spain for?

Your Host

It’s so fabulous to meet you!!!

My name is Karen Donaldson, and I’m a Celebrity Communication, Body Language, Confidence & Peak Performance Expert, Media Personality, International speaker & Speaker coach.

I’m the communication and body language expert for Cosmopolitan and Women’s Health Magazines, the go-to media source on communication and body language across North America for media outlets like ABC, NBC, FOX, KTLA, CBS, The Tamron Hall Show, CTV,  Breakfast Television, CityLine ++++and the best-selling author of 3 books.

Now, let’s pause with the formalities, credentials and titles and get down to some REAL TALK.

I’m a speaker and coach who knows the ropes. My clients and I get paid $2,000 – $35,000 per talk. We land $50,000 – $96,000 corporate contracts, for BOTH IN PERSON AND VIRTUAL EVENTS.

Here’s my secret sauce – I teach systems and strategies that speak directly to meeting planners (with budgets) with an understanding of what they need from us.

I know what it’s like to watch your peers get booked over and over again when you know you’re the right person for the job. My clients and I close corporate contracts because we use a system.

Creating a sustainable paid speaking business is not rocket science, but you do need a system.

I’ve been speaking for over 20+ years and I want that for you too.

I’m here to help you: 

* STOP winging it (crossing your fingers and hope you’re on the right track)
* STOP the guesswork (hoping that you’ve said the right things in your pitches)
* STOP feeling lost (knowing that you’ve got skills and desperately want to book more paid gigs but don’t know how 

I’VE GOT YOUR BACK!

My only intention is to show you how to use your voice to make multiple six figures and impact millions because it’s possible”.

Simply stated that’s what this Retreat is all about.

I invite you to Immerse yourself in an intimate and transformative experience!
