masterclass
have a message to share but not sure how paid speaking works?
A 3-hour recorded crash course that gives new speakers clear steps and valuable resources to grow your speaking business so that you can feel confident charging what your worth and showing up like a pro.
It’s been happening for centuries, all the way from Socrates to Brene Brown…
And the opportunities and benefits are WAY BIGGER than you probably know.
I’m talking about Paid Public Speaking of course.
And being a paid speaker has a slew of benefits…
It’s one of the smartest ways to share your wisdom and expertise.
It’s an incredible feeling when your message has helped someone.
Has an enormous impact on brand building and creating fans for life.
It’s person to person so people are more eager to do business with you.
Businesses, schools, associations, etc… are always looking for fresh insights , relevant opinions and unique perspectives so speaking NEVER becomes obsolete.
Opens doors to a host of new opportunities!
I can't tell you how many times over my 8 years as a professional speaker people have told me …"I want to be a speaker too”
Unfortunately, almost all of them never put their toe in the water because there are a few common concerns people struggle with, for example…
✔ Some people get stuck because they don't know where to begin…
✔ Some people get invited to speak but they never accept the offer because imposter syndrome is waiting like a wolf at the door…
✔ ️Others run into a wall because they don't know how much to charge…
✔ ️And others get shaky during discovery calls because they don’t know what questions to ask prospects and end up beating themselves up if they get blindsided by a business question they couldn’t answer.
✔ For some people getting the job triggers their “now what” response because they’re not sure about the clients expectations, how to handle payments, how to handle travel expenses, don’t know how to charge when providing a workshop versus a keynote…
And I can tell you from my own personal experience EVERY one of those problems can be fixed.
Knowledge And Action Make The Difference?
Have you ever wondered what makes the difference in one person having success while another person struggles?
I've asked myself that question a lot. Truth is, success isn’t always a result of talent, hard work, or even who you know.
In my humble opinion the real difference boils down to your knowledge and how you put that knowledge into action.
And my mission is to give you my hard-won knowledge and an easy-to-follow process - something you can hang your hat on.

People get into speaking for many, many different reasons and they come from all different walks of life…
👉 The introverted HR specialist who had a passion for Genealogy, never saw herself as a speaker who now has a completely booked calendar.
👉 The former journalist who dreamed about making a documentary about a high school program that changed the trajectory of her life and is now speaking to audiences all over the country.
👉 A marketing specialist who wanted to empower parents to teach their kids about consent who is now speaking at Global events.
One of my Part-Time Speaker™ Students has turned her passion for genealogy into a thriving business and even though she “never saw herself as a speaker” has more paid speaking opportunities than she can handle… in fact, she’s booked out for the rest of the year.

Hi! I'm Denise
I'm an award-winning documentary filmmaker and for the past 8 years, I've been a keynote speaker for Fortune 500 companies, the education market, associations and community organizations across all verticals who've asked me to bring my message of Belonging to their professional communities.
I've been the featured speaker at places like SONY, L'Oréal, Dow Jones, American Family Insurance, Facebook, LinkedIn, YELP, KPMG, Microsoft, The Gap, Yale University, Wellesley College, Google, Proctor & Gamble, Starbucks and VaynerMedia to name a few.
I'm also a 2x TEDx speaker.
I had to learn all of this on my own which caused me to make a few mistakes, but I eventually learned how to do it.
This is why I decided to create this for you because It's so much easier when you've got someone who's already learned the lessons and can tell you exactly what you need to do.
And frankly, after doing this for so long I want to help diversify the stage and this is my way of doing that. We need more voices from diverse backgrounds sharing your stories and revealing the nuance of your lived experience and perspective.
You don't have to ooze charisma to be a successful speaker…
Just in case that thought was creeping into your head
No, you don’t have to be the next Mel Robbins or the next Brené Brown!
Just speak like you’re talking to a dear friend about the topic you love speaking about.
If you can do that, I promise you audiences will call you “refreshing” and organizers will hire you again!
YOUR LIFE AND WORK EXPERIENCE IS THE BIGGEST HACK
Listen, the beauty of speaking is you’re able to leverage all your skills and share all your past and current expertise and knowledge.
No matter what anyone says… You Don’t Need A Lot To Get Started!
Why do I say this?
Because realistically when you’re starting out the paid speaking gigs you’ll land will pay anywhere from $300 to $1,000 dollars.
They're not expecting you to have an expensive website and you don't need to worry about having a speaking reel.
In fact, these smaller paid opportunities are perfect for getting your speaking “reps” in and getting footage you can you use later for your reel.
I didn’t have any of those things (and my students didn't either) when I fell into speaking and that didn't stop us.
This is why you’ll say The Part-Time Speaker™ Master Class is a life-saver because you’ll see how simple starting can be and hesitation will be a thing of the past.
This course is only available for a limited time.
Ok, so how can i access these gems?
The kind of knowledge contained in this class can run into the thousands. But my commitment to you is not only to give you education that actually works—it’s to give it to you at a price that doesn’t break the bank. That’s why for a limited time only, I’m offering the Part-Time Speaker™ Masterclass for only…

DO I HAVE TO BE PERFECTLY MEMORIZED ON STAGE?
You make an impact by tapping into your authentic passion and the knowledge you already have about your topic - NOT by being perfect at memorizing.
WHAT IF I'M JUST GETTING STARTED?
Well, this masterclass will give you an unfair advantage. I had no idea what I was doing when I first got started. I've read all the books and have hundreds of stages of experience under my belt. I've distilled the most important info that you need to get started into this three hour class.
I SPEAK OCCASIONALLY. WILL THIS HELP ME UP LEVEL MY EXISTING BUSINESS?
That depends. Are you happy with your systems? With your spin off? Are you making what you want to be making? If the answer is “no” to any of these questions I'm sure I can teach you something valuable. If not, you can take advantage of the guarantee.
DO I HAVE TO HAVE A BIG CHARISMATIC PERSONALITY TO BE A GOOD SPEAKER?
That's actually a myth. There is no “perfect” personality or style in professional speaking - phew!
I Hope You’re Ok With Me Being Candid
I know stepping into something new like public speaking can be scary.
This is why I’m making this as easy as possible for you.
Even though I recently taught this class live for $97 and you’re getting every single thing those people got - I’m NOT asking you to pay that much.
I’m offering it at a price anyone can afford.
The price for this recorded training has been set at $47. So right off the bat you’re saving $50.
Remember when I said “speaking is the secret weapon for your business.” Well, speaking helped me grow a loyal and raving fan base around the documentary I made 10 years ago…
And my speaking career was an absolutely CRUCIAL ingredient in securing my book deal with Simon & Schuster!
Imagine what speaking could do for your career. You’ve got nothing to lose and only opportunities to gain.
Take 30 days to go through the course…even though you can easily finish it in an afternoon.
And if after you’ve experienced it all, you still don’t think The Part-Time Speaker Masterclass is giving you value…or… has made a difference in your speaking business…
Then simply send me an email at hello@denisesolercox.com for a quick and full refund.
And I’m offering this because I want to get you speaking - TODAY!
I think that’s pretty fair. You’ll have plenty of time to figure out the right move for you.
So if you agree this is a fair deal… It’s time to act.
Limited time only free bonus
Sample contract & client checklist
Wait, there’s more? That’s right friend
In addition to the 3 hour masterclass where I've condensed 8 years of personal experience into a very simple to understand roadmap… you'll also receive a sample of the same contract that I use and the exact client checklist we use with every client to ensure we provide a consistent level of service after the contract is signed - this is something that took us years to develop.
