Avoid “Paid to Speak” Scams and Build a Legitimate Speaking Career with Bobbie Carlton

Leah Getts & Todd Getts Episode 84

Episode 84: There are a lot of speaking coaches and agencies that promise big money to get you on stage.

And while it is certainly possible to make money speaking from stage, inevitably, in most cases, reality rarely meets expectation.

In this episode, industry veteran Bobbie Carlton reveals the hidden truth about getting paid to speak and how to avoid getting scammed by promises of instant riches by speaking on stage.

About Bobbie Carlton: Bobbie is the founder of Carlton PR & Marketing, Innovation Nights and Innovation Women, or, as she calls them, the day job, the night job, and the dream job.

Carlton is an entertaining, tell-it-like-it-is speaker who speaks extensively (and passionately) about public speaking and how it can be the driving force behind career growth and business success. She's a TEDx speaker; an entertaining startup event host; she's spoken at the United Nations; she's shared the stage with storytelling legend (and NPR's Snap Judgment host) Glynn Washington; and she's been on the main stage for some of the world’s best-known conferences for technical and professional women.

She’s been featured on CBS News, in the Wall Street Journal, Boston Globe, USA Today, and other major media. She was previously the head of global PR at two different enterprise software companies and the head of marketing for a brand devoted to providing positive role models for preteen girls. She’s inspired thousands of technical, entrepreneurial and executive women to take control of their own speaking careers and has worked with event managers around the world to deliver diverse and inclusive events.
