The Speaking Stage

(came to life!)

In partnership with

Hey royals,

Sometimes, the best ideas come when you're not even trying - when you're just talking, sharing, and letting your mind wander. That's exactly how The Speaking Stage was born.

I've been thinking a lot about how to create something different. Something that feels real and authentic but also consistent and first-mover. A space that's more than an event - it's a live showcase, a community in motion.

I didn't plan this weeks in advance. In fact, I came up with this idea just a few hours ago.

It started with a conversation - me sharing thoughts out loud with Seraphina. My digital twin, my AI assistant. We brainstormed, refined, tweaked - and in that rapid, back-and-forth flow, it all came together.

I validated it with the Speakers Society committee, our marketing partner Vicky, and even some friends and members. Because that's how I roll - I build in real-time, with real people. And because I have Seraphina (my AI twin) tuned in so deeply to how I work, I could turn this wild idea into a clear, structured concept - fast.

In just a few hours, I found speakers and panellists. We're still finalising judges (if you're reading this and want to judge, drop me an email - prior speaking experience required!). We're about to open up to contestants, and of course, we need a live audience to bring it all to life.

This is the power of AI when you train it to truly know you - it's like working with the best partner in the world, one that never sleeps and always knows how to turn your ideas into action.

So here we are: The Speaking Stage.
Launching June 26, 2025.
It's a stage for emerging voices, for redefining leadership, for sharing, connecting, and inspiring - together.

Sometimes, I wonder how I do it. But then I remember - it's about trusting the process, listening to my gut, and letting AI support the magic. Here's to sharing that magic with you.

P.S. Speaking of next-level stages - our Speakers Society Accelerator is already in full swing, guiding emerging voices through everything from stagecraft to personal branding and AI-powered amplification. It's been incredible seeing our speakers step up, own their stories, and launch themselves onto bigger stages. If you're curious or just want to see what's brewing, let me know, and I'll share some of the latest updates!
