The Future Of Getting Booked Is Already Taking Shape
Built to Be Found.
Ready to Be Chosen.
Today, an event planner can ask an AI search tool, “Find five speakers who help healthcare leaders prevent burnout,” and receive a starting list of names and sources in moments.
Since 2002, Charli Jane has helped speakers build the clear, credible foundation needed to be found, from the early days of Yahoo and Google to today’s AI search tools. We pair that foundation with the opportunities, intelligence, and booking system to help you pursue the right stages.

The Charli Jane Speaker Directory
A second digital doorway to being discovered.
“Find a speaker who helps first-time managers lead multigenerational teams.”
To become a possible match, a speaker’s digital presence needs to clearly communicate who they serve, what they speak about, and the outcomes they help create.
That is why each Charli Jane directory profile is structured around the specific information planners look for and search tools need to understand. Your own website remains essential; your directory profile gives your expertise another clear, credible place to be understood, evaluated, and shared.

2 Path 2 · Put Opportunities In Motion
Speaker Opportunity Intelligence
Some opportunities find you. Others need you to move first.
Use real opportunities to see what the market is asking for.
You’re ready. Put the right opportunities into motion.
For example, one planner may ask an AI tool for a shortlist while another publishes a call for speakers. Forward-thinking speakers prepare for both—with a discoverable foundation and a smart way to act on current opportunities.
You may not be ready to pitch every room yet—and that’s okay. Current opportunities show you the audiences, topics, outcomes, and proof planners are asking for, so you can build with greater clarity.
Use current Opportunity Intelligence to identify fit, choose your strongest angle, pitch with purpose, follow up, and keep your booking pipeline moving.

Meet Wendi
I’ve been helping speakers get booked since 2002.
When I founded Charli Jane Speakers in 2002, speakers were learning to build online platforms so Yahoo, Google, and event planners could find them. Today, that same foundation must be clear enough for planners, search engines, and AI tools to understand, and the shift is happening at hyper speed.
The technology has changed, but my core belief hasn’t: you do not need to be famous or highly experienced to begin getting booked. You need to be clear, discoverable, credible, and ready to be chosen, then pair that foundation with the right opportunities and a practical system for taking action.
I’m a Nebraska girl, wife, mama to four daughters, and Nana to a wonderfully loud crew. I believe in practical strategy, doable next moves, and honest guidance. The tools may move fast, but you do not have to chase every shiny thing. You need to know what matters and keep moving toward the right rooms.
