Looking Ahead: Big Goals for The Speakers Collaborative in 2025
This week brought a flood of conversations about 2025, especially about the exciting future of The Speakers Collaborative. It’s clear: we’re gearing up for something ambitious.
My goal for next year is bold—hosting a cohort every month, starting February 1, with 5-6 participants in each. To make that happen, I’m also aiming to secure sponsorships for every cohort.
But here’s the challenge: I can’t do it all. While I’m passionate about driving this vision forward, I’ve realized I need to focus on the 20% of tasks I excel at—like building connections and refining the program. That means it’s time to delegate the other 80%.
I’m incredibly lucky to have a fantastic part-time assistant, but for 2025, I need to grow the team. I’m looking for two extraordinary individuals:
One to focus on lead generation, and
One to secure sponsorships.
Together, we can achieve the audacious goal of transforming lives through storytelling every single month.
What are your goals for 2025? Let’s work together to make them happen!

Empowering Veterans Through Storytelling
A decade ago, I became a certified attorney with the Veterans Administration to advocate for veterans and help them access the services they earned through their selfless service. That experience ignited my passion for ensuring that veterans receive the support they deserve for protecting our freedom.
Now, 10 years later, I am taking that mission to the next level. In 2025, The Speakers Collaborative will launch a special Veterans Storytelling Cohort. This program is designed for veterans who:
Have successfully transitioned to civilian life and want to share their lessons,
Have overcome mental health challenges stemming from their time in war zones, or
Lead with excellence because of the skills honed during their service.
This cohort is completely free for participants and includes full access to group coaching sessions, professional headshots, video reels, and exposure opportunities to amplify their stories.
How You Can Help
If you or your company are interested in supporting this transformative initiative and gaining exposure across multiple platforms and thousands of viewers, book a discovery call today. Together, we can honor veterans by sharing their voices with the world.
Partner with The Speakers Collaborative
The Speakers Collaborative is a groundbreaking program designed to help Speakers, Authors, and Thought Leaders take the stage and launch their next adventure. The best part? The cost of the program can often be recouped with just one paid speaking engagement.
We welcome participants from all walks of life, but our success depends on expanding our reach—and that’s where you come in.
Join Our Referral Program
For every referral who enrolls in a cohort, you’ll receive a 15% referral fee.
If you enroll yourself without a referral, you’ll receive the same amount as a rebate.
This is an exciting opportunity to connect your network with a program that transforms careers—and to benefit in the process.
