231: What Event Organizers Look for in Speakers with Kelly Youngs

Show Notes

How can you get selected to speak at an event? What do event organizers look for in speakers?

My guest is Kelly Youngs, the founder of global women’s network She Is Fierce!, which puts on in-person and virtual events.

Kelly and I talk about the balance between inspirational speakers and expertise speakers, what kinds of speakers are inspiring to us, and how she curates the content and speakers for her events.

I’ll be speaking (in person!) at Kelly’s She is Fierce! Summit this September 22-24, 2021, in St. Augustine, Florida. Join me there!
