On today’s podcast episode, we’re talking to Leisa Reid. Leisa is a professional speaker/trainer and the founder of GetSpeakingGigsNow.com. If you are a business professional or entrepreneur who wants to make an impact and attract your ideal clients through speaking, you won’t want to miss this.
Leisa holds both Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees in Speech Communication. She taught at the university level before moving into a corporate role in sales and leadership. After attending a series of personal development workshops, Leisa realized it was time to make a change. When an established business relationship presented a new opportunity, she took a leap of faith to pursue something more aligned with her passions and talents.
After booking and delivering hundreds of speaking engagements, Leisa knew she could help other aspiring speakers by sharing her strategies, and Get Speaking Gigs Now was born.
I think a lot of times entrepreneurs think you have to get out there and get visible…it can feel a little overwhelming. Honestly, if you focus on that handful [of connections] and dig deeper rather than wider, you can really make a huge impact. – Leisa Reid
