Fame-Ready 3 Reasons You're Not Getting Speaking Gigs (And How to Fix It)
Show Notes:
This week, personal branding and PR expert, Katrina Owens is diving into a topic that’s buzzing across every networking call and summit room: why you’re not landing the speaking opportunities you want—and exactly how to change that.
After hearing from dozens of entrepreneurs who want to speak more but feel stuck, Katrina breaks down what’s really holding most people back. If you’ve ever felt like you’re “ready” for the stage but aren’t getting booked, this is your wake-up call and action plan.
She shares:
- The 3 most common blocks stopping you from getting speaking gigs
- Why your “pitch” isn’t landing—and what event hosts actually look for
- How your social media is either helping or hurting your credibility as a speaker
- Why performance, storytelling, and emotional connection matter more than ever
- The exact upgrades Katrina made to land major stages in Orlando, Nashville, NYC, and Toronto
Katrina also gets personal about her early speaking days (hello, imposter syndrome), the moment she realized her brand wasn’t converting, and why her current “world tour” is only possible because she finally showed up differently online and in real life.
If you want to become a go-to speaker—without spending millions on a publicist or playing the “manifest and pray” game—this episode is your no-fluff roadmap.
