The Business of Speaking helps professionals, experts, consultants and aspiring speakers transform their knowledge into a commercially viable speaking business through practical training, strategic positioning and speaking systems that create authority, demand and paid opportunities – at a time when the ability to communicate with influence and conviction matters more than ever.
The Business of Speaking is a specialist training and development business dedicated to helping professionals build profitable speaking-driven businesses. Founded by Jacqueline Brooker, a Certified Speaking Professional, educator and one of Australia’s leading voices on the commercial power of speaking. The organisation works with experts, consultants, leaders and aspiring professional speakers who want their communication skills to create genuine business outcomes rather than simply deliver a good presentation.
Unlike traditional public speaking training that focuses primarily on confidence and stage presence, The Business of Speaking teaches speaking as a commercial capability. Its programs help participants clarify their message, strengthen their positioning, develop keynote presentations, improve delivery skills and create systems that turn speaking opportunities into business growth.
The Business of Speaking delivers programs, workshops and events designed to help speakers progress from developing their first keynote to building a sustainable speaking business. The flagship is the Breakthrough Speaker Program, a comprehensive pathway for experts, founders and coaches ready to turn their speaking into fees, leads and opportunities.
The Business of Speaking hosts The Speaker Driven Business Podcast, providing insights, interviews and practical strategies for professionals who use speaking as a platform for influence, authority and business growth. The organisation’s mission is to raise the standard of speaking education by helping speakers create meaningful commercial opportunities through strategic communication, not just performance.
Experts, founders, coaches and consultants ready to monetise their speaking, executives seeking greater influence through communication, aspiring professional speakers building their first keynote, and industry thought leaders developing authority-based businesses.
The Business of Speaking is dedicated to helping speakers build a business from the stage. Through the Breakthrough Speaker Program, founders, experts and coaches learn how to develop a signature speech that generates real commercial outcomes every time they speak.
