Maximize Your Brand with Markeith Braden

One of the top questions I get from entrepreneurs, experts and other professionals is “How do you go about actually getting paid to speak professionally?”

Speaking is the fastest way to get exposure and build credibility. It’s how every great movement began. It is also the best way to attract high-paying clients.

This week I interview Dr. Laura Louis, Psychologist & Professional Speaker.

Dr. Laura Louis is the founder of the Couch to Podium Academy. Dr. Louis teaches therapists, counselors and entrepreneurs all about the business side of speaking.

Dr. Louis has conducted over one hundred paid speaking engagements nationally and internationally. She has negotiated travel, and expenses along with $3000 speaking fees. Dr. Louis' clients have launched paid speaking gigs, developed retreats and launched programs.
