* Emerging Speaker
You've recognized that speaking is one of the most powerful ways to build a business and to grow a business, and speaking well and strategically exponentially grows your brand, your income, and your opportunities.
You are either exploring adding speaking as a revenue stream or have already started speaking, mostly for free or very low fees and you want to take your speaking business to the next level. In this crazy pandemic world, you are probably wondering if a speaking career even makes sense! IT DOES and you've come to the right place.
Whether you want to speak to 10 or 10,000, we all need a coach to either take our speaking business to the next plateau or help shorten the runway to entering the speaking business. You may have learned the hard way that it takes more than great platform skills to build and sustain a profitable speaking business.
My coaching is completely customized to your needs. I have helped speakers with:
-
topic and speech ideation and dev't
-
platform skills
-
website and video demo development
-
marketing strategies that work
-
book writing and promotion

how to get booked by associations

how to set a path to 5 figure speaking fees

Early on in my career, I was fortunate to have found a coach and a mentor. It was a struggle because, while I could not afford it, I knew that I could not get in front of the audiences I wanted and grow my business into a sustainable entity that provided the lifestyle I wanted for me and my family without help!
​
Now, I am trying to 'give back'. I work with only 2-3 speakers every 6 months to help them achieve their goals. We assess where you are in their speaking business and how to get to the next level QUICKLY! Besides coaching, I will share everything I have to make the runway shorter. That includes my contracts, forms, templates etc.
One of my pet peeves is the coach/consultant who charges monthly and keeps you hanging on for years. My coaching program is generally SIX MONTHS long depending on how hard you work. If it takes longer, that's OK because I only charge ONE FLAT FEE no matter how long it takes!

I worked with Jeff to take my speaking business to the next level and he practiced what he preaches (customer experience)! Jeff helped me hone my presentation, came to hear me speak and provided valuable feedback every step of the way. Success is about building relationships with those who can help you most and Jeff has been available to answer all of my questions along the way. Perhaps most important, I consider Jeff a personal friend as a result of our time together.

With Jeff’s years of experience, I knew he would be the go-to guy for honing my speaking skills and creating a shoppable speech that reflected me and my message. He has the gift of being able to identify an individual’s voice and coaching them on how to clearly communicate that to others in a creative way

When speakers ask me how I got started, I tell them "you can do it yourself the slow, old-fashioned way or you can hire Jeff Tobe like I did to speed up the process and ultimately spend less money."

Mildly Screwy Professional Speaker
I've worked with Jeff for over 12 years and his advice and wisdom of the speaking business has put, literally, tens of thousands of dollars in my pocket! If you listen to Jeff and, more importantly, USE his advice and instruction, you WILL make money (and lots of it!) in this business! Quite simply, he's amazing!
