Speak to Scale
Using Speaking as a Visibility Strategy for Your Business
Think about the last conference or event you attended. Someone got up, talked about what they do, and by the end of it, half the room wanted to work with them.
You sat there thinking, I know I have a talk like that in me. I just need to make the time to prepare for it.
Here's the thing: every business owner should be able to stand up in front of a room and talk about their expertise for 30 to 60 minutes. If you can't, you're leaving an opportunity on the table. You have a message. People need to hear it. And you should be known for what you do best.
What Speaking Actually Does for Your Business
You can post on social media every day for a year and still be a stranger to most of the people who see it. That's just how it works now — everyone's scrolling, nobody's really seeing you.
But put yourself in front of a room — even a small one — and everything changes. People aren't just reading your words anymore. They're watching you think on your feet, answer questions, tell a story. That's where trust actually gets built. That's where someone goes from "I've heard of her" to "I need to call her."
Speaking is the fastest way to go from best-kept secret to the person everyone in the room is talking about afterward.
And here's the math on it: if this program leads to even one new client, it pays for itself many times over. That's the kind of ROI most marketing can't touch.
Introducing Speak to Scale
Speak to Scale is a 7-week live cohort for business owners and subject matter experts who are ready to build their signature talk — and actually finish it.
This first cohort is limited to 10 people, so everyone gets real feedback and real attention — not just from me, but from each other.
Not "learn the theory and go figure it out on your own." Finish it. By the end of this program, you'll have a complete, deliverable talk and a real plan for getting it in front of the right people.
Let's Be Clear About What This Is — and What It Isn't
This is not a program about becoming a paid professional speaker. If that's where you eventually want to go, that's a different path with a different focus — pitching, rates, booking agents, all of it.
What Speak to Scale gives you is the foundation. Your message. Your talk. Your delivery. Your visibility strategy.
Whether you use that talk to bring in clients locally, build your reputation in your industry, or one day step into paid speaking — everything you build here is yours to take wherever you want to go.
And this doesn't replace networking — it takes it to the next level. Networking gets you in the room and builds the relationships. Your signature talk is what happens once you're standing in front of it, turning those relationships into real visibility and influence.
The 7-Week Breakdown
-
Virtual Instruction | Fridays, 9–10:30am CST
We start with clarity. What's the one thing you want to be known for? Who needs to hear it, and what do they need to walk away believing? By the end of this session, you'll have the foundation your entire talk is built on.
-
Virtual Instruction | Fridays, 9–10:30am CST
Now we build. You'll work through a proven structure — opening, core content, closing — and start putting your message into a real outline you can actually deliver.
-
Live Office Hours (Optional) | Fridays, 9–10:30am CST
Bring your draft. Bring your "I'm stuck on this part." This is your time to get eyes on your work and figure out what's working before we move forward.
-
Virtual Instruction | Fridays, 9–10:30am CST
A great talk isn't a lecture — it's an experience. This week is about weaving in story, connecting with your audience, and learning how to keep a room engaged from start to finish.
-
Live Office Hours (Optional) | Fridays, 9–10:30am CST
More practice, more feedback, more polish. This is where your talk starts to feel like yours.
-
Virtual Instruction | Fridays, 9–10:30am CST
This is the session I'm most excited about. I'll walk you through the exact strategy I've used to become known as a Top Keynote Speaker in San Antonio — two years running, 2025 and 2026. It's a strategy that's fully duplicatable across industries, and you'll leave with your own plan for putting it to work.
-
Fridays, 9–11am CST
You'll share a 10-minute excerpt of your talk with your cohort, get real feedback, and celebrate finishing what most people never get past the idea stage on.
Who This Is For
This is for the business owner who sits in the audience at every event, watching other people speak, thinking I could do that — if I just had it put together.
You're ready for the visibility and influence that comes from being the one at the front of the room. You're ready to attract clients simply by talking about what you already know.
You don't need to be a "natural speaker." You don't need a TED Talk. You need a clear message, a structure, and the accountability to actually finish it — which is exactly what this program is built to give you.
About Mindy
I've spent my career learning what it takes to become known — first as a child advocate for the American Cancer Society and the Ronald McDonald House, and later in corporate roles with McDonald's Corporation, Gap, and Old Navy, where I saw firsthand how visibility and relationships shape who gets the next opportunity.
When I built my own consulting business in San Antonio, I put everything I'd learned to work — and it's grown into a business with a 93% referral rate. In 2025 and 2026, I was recognized as a Top Keynote Speaker in San Antonio, not because I was the most polished person in the room, but because I had a message, I showed up consistently, and I built the kind of visibility that brings opportunities to you.
I'm Mic Drop Academy and Mic Drop Workforce Certified, and I hold my SHRM-SCP certification. But more than any credential, what I bring to this program is a strategy that's been tested — in my own business and in the rooms I've built it in.
That's what I want for you. Not a stage career — a strategy.
