Quick Summary (TL;DR) Tired of AI-generated sameness making your speaking proposals blend in? NSA Carolinas’ Week of Speaker Love (Feb 9–13, 2026) delivers five FREE virtual lunch-and-learn sessions to sharpen your craft, boost authority, and get booked more in 2026. On Wednesday, Feb 11 (12–1 PM ET), I’m leading Expert Evolution: A High-Resolution Visibility and Leadership Lab and introducing the AURAS™ Framework and helping you start a 30-day visibility plan live. Open to everyone! Register now and gain the clarity & edge you need!
Why Speakers Need This Boost in 2026 (The Real Problem)
Imagine this: You pour hours into a killer talk, polish your deck, and submit proposals… only to hear crickets. Event planners are flooded with AI-assisted content that all looks and sounds the same. Visibility is everywhere, but trust and differentiation? Harder than ever to earn.
That’s the 2026 reality. More content, more noise, more burnout and less real connection. If you’re a speaker, coach, or thought leader feeling “visible but not booked,” you’re not alone. The good news? You can rise above the blur with intention, strategy, and the right tools.
That’s exactly why NSA Carolinas created the Week of Speaker Love, a free, community-powered week to help you start 2026 strong.

Date & Time: Wednesday, February 11, 2026 | 12:00–1:00 PM ET Format: Live interactive Zoom lab (link sent after free registration)
In this peer-powered session, I share what’s actually working right now to get booked in an AI-flooded world. Drawing from my 30+ years in PR/digital strategy, NSA leadership (past Carolinas board member, former Illinois Speakers Academy Dean), and real results (including a $9.1M earned media keynote campaign), you’ll learn:
- Why being seen no longer equals being booked — and how to close that gap fast
- The AURAS™ Framework — my new photography-inspired system (Authentic, Understandable, Relevant, Amplified, Sustainable) to filter noise, sharpen your message, and amplify your unique authority
- Real-world examples that prove clarity + positioning drive bookings
- Live strategy: Start crafting your own 30-day visibility plan aligned with your voice and goals
Expect fast feedback, focused discussion, and actionable steps. You’ll leave with clarity, traction, and a strategic edge, ready to attract the right stages and audiences naturally.
Imagine walking into the rest of 2026 with unshakable confidence, stronger proposals, and bookings that feel aligned and effortless.
Why Attend? (Your Biggest Wins)

- Master tools like the AURAS™ Framework to stand out with integrity
- Build momentum with a personalized 30-day plan you start during the session
- Connect with a supportive speaker community — no gatekeeping, just growth
- All free — no travel, no cost, just value
This isn’t theory; it’s practical, proven strategy from someone who’s been in the room with speakers at every level.
