Discover the transformative journey of Lavelda Vincenzi, an international MC, moderator and keynote speaker who stumbled into a lucrative speaking career after receiving an unexpected invitation to host a 3,000-person event in Paris. What started as curiosity turned into interviewing Monica Lewinsky and commanding audiences of 4,000+ people, all while maintaining a full-time job. Her eye-opening revelation about the lack of women on major speaking stages led to an unexpected discovery that changed everything. When Lavelda created a Facebook group to solve the ‘missing women speakers’ problem, she uncovered a shocking truth: talented women speakers weren’t being found because they weren’t positioning themselves as businesses. Through her speaker coaching programs, she now helps women land their first or next $5K speaking engagement by teaching them to stop ‘considerating themselves out of the game’ and start commanding their worth. Her frank advice challenges women to stop seeking permission and start treating their speaking expertise as the valuable business asset it truly is.
