Some stages will find you. The rest you go get.
A planner may search for you. Or you may go find the room yourself. The Charli Jane Speakers Club is one membership built for both: sharpen the presence that helps planners, search engines, and AI tools understand where you fit, then work the curated opportunities that are open right now.
Powered by 175+ curated speaking opportunities each week, the Booking Command Center, the STAGE foundation path, pitching and follow-up tools, and speaker-booking expertise since 2002.
Enter your topic or choose one below. We’ll show you three sample room types where a message like yours could fit, and what makes each one worth considering.
Still strengthening your foundation? You’re in the right place. STAGE is the Build to Be Found path, included in this same membership.

What one membership covers
Getting booked now happens in two directions.
A planner, a search engine, or an AI tool may find you, but only if your expertise clearly shows where you fit. Other times you spot the room yourself and go after it. The Speakers Club is built for both, inside one membership.
-
Built to be found
STAGE is your foundation path. Sharpen your audience, talk, outcomes, speaker assets, and proof so planners, search engines, and AI tools can understand where you fit.
-
The right opportunities
175+ curated speaking opportunities each week, surfaced through ongoing sourcing, industry connections, referrals, direct planner submissions, and our team’s curation.
-
A pipeline that moves them
Pitching, positioning, and follow-up tools, plus a place to know your next move and track what happens, instead of letting good opportunities quietly disappear.
You don’t have to choose between building your foundation and pursuing opportunities. The Club is built for both.

The Charli Jane Speakers Club
Less starting over. More moving forward.
Inside the Club, the STAGE foundation path, the curated opportunities, pitching tools, follow-up support, and booking pipeline work together so you can spend less time wondering what to do next, and more time actually doing it.
You still make the decisions. You still send the pitch. Charli Jane gives you the intelligence, tools, and system to make those moves faster and more consistently.

Where you start
Which path do you start on?
Both paths live inside the same membership. Choose the one that sounds most like you right now, and we’ll show you where to begin.
Why this comes first
More opportunities won’t solve a foundation problem. The clearer your message and assets are, the more useful every opportunity becomes, and the easier you are to find in the first place.
What you’re building toward
A clear talk, polished assets, credible proof, and a message people understand quickly, so when you start working opportunities you’re not pitching from shaky ground.
And when you’re ready
Path 2 is already waiting in the same membership. The opportunities, the pitching tools, and the pipeline are there whenever you want to start working them.
Your first move
Choose a small number of opportunities that genuinely fit. Work those well. Pitch them. Set the next move. Follow up. Repeat.
What changes
Instead of wondering where to look or what you already sent, you begin building a real pipeline of opportunities in motion.
And STAGE is still there
Path 1 sits in the same membership whenever you want to sharpen a talk, tighten your positioning, or refresh your speaker assets.
Two starting points. One membership.
Start wherever you actually are. You get both paths either way, and you can move between them as your foundation gets stronger.
Meet the system that keeps your opportunities moving.
The Booking Command Center is where the opportunities you want to pursue become an actual pipeline. Save what fits, see the details that matter, prepare your outreach, set the next move, follow up, and track what happens, all in one place.
Whether an opportunity found you or you went and found it, this is where it becomes a real conversation.
Find Your Leads
Fresh speaking opportunities are added every week through ongoing sourcing, industry connections, referrals, direct planner submissions, and our team’s curation.
Use search and filters to zero in on the opportunities that fit you.
National Workplace Leadership Conference
Upcoming deadlineWhy it may fit
This audience is looking for practical strategies around workforce resilience, leadership, and workplace culture.

The rule inside your pipeline
Every active opportunity needs one next move.
Pitch it. Follow up. Research a detail. Make a connection. Decide it’s not the right fit. Whatever the move is, give the opportunity somewhere to go.
That’s how a list becomes a pipeline.
This is what working a booking pipeline looks like.
The opportunities are there. The tools are there. The next move is clear. You log in and know what deserves your attention.

Opportunity Intelligence
An opportunity shouldn’t leave you with more questions than answers. That’s the difference between a lead and real opportunity intelligence.
Inside the Speakers Club, opportunities come with the context that helps you quickly decide what fits, what deserves your attention, and what your next move could be.
Here’s one representative example, opened up piece by piece.
Sample opportunities
Heartland Credit Union Leadership Summit
Representative example based on the kinds of opportunity intelligence members may see inside the Club.
1Deadline / timing
Upcoming deadlineWhy it matters
You can see immediately whether there’s enough time to pursue it instead of discovering the deadline after you’ve already done the work.
2Event + submission details
Direct event or speaker-submission information
Why it matters
Less digging. You can move from evaluating the opportunity to taking the next step faster.
3Audience intelligence
Why it matters
You can tell who will be in the room before deciding whether your message belongs there.
4Topic / theme intelligence
Why it matters
You’re not guessing what the audience cares about. The opportunity gives you language you can compare with your own message.
5Opportunity summary
Annual leadership summit for managers and operations leaders. The organizer is seeking practical sessions around retention, culture, and frontline leadership. Speaker requirements and compensation signals are included when available.
Why it matters
You can make a much faster yes-pursue or no-pass decision without opening twelve browser tabs.
6Charli Jane insight
Wendi’s note When an event names a specific business problem, in this example retention, don’t pitch a broad leadership talk. Meet the committee in the language they’re already using.
Why it matters
This is where Charli Jane adds strategic context to help you think like the buyer, not simply collect another URL.
7Suggested talk positioning
- The Last to Know: Why Your Best People Leave Before You See It Coming
- What Frontline Leaders Can Fix Before Good People Walk
Why it matters
You’re not being handed a finished keynote to copy. You’re being given a positioning starting point you can adapt to your own expertise and talk.
8Move it into your pipeline
Found one that fits? Save it to your Booking Command Center and give it a next move.
- Saved
- Pitched
- Following up
- Booked
Why it matters
The opportunity stops being something you bookmarked and becomes something you are actively working.
Charli Jane opportunities are surfaced through ongoing sourcing, industry connections, referrals, direct planner submissions, and team curation.
Now multiply that intelligence across 175+ opportunities each week.
Not every opportunity will be right for you, and that’s the point. The Club gives you enough context to find the ones that are, make a decision faster, and move the right ones into your booking pipeline.
You don’t need every room. You need the right rooms, and a system for working them.
Member experience
What that looks like in real life.
I went into the speaker leads, searched for ‘retire,’ found a great opportunity in the March leads, and then used the Booking Command Center to create my pitch email. From finding the lead to having a pitch ready took about 8 minutes.
I’m still waiting to hear back, but I can already say this system is a game changer. Anyone not using AI is wasting time, and anyone not using Charli Jane is making booking much harder than it needs to be. I’ve been speaking for 40 years, and this system hands down saves time, money, and aggravation. You can take that to the bank.
Lead → pitch ready

More inside the Club
The pipeline is the engine. These are the tools around it.
Your membership includes both paths. STAGE helps you build the foundation that makes you easier to find and understand. The tools below help you work opportunities, stay visible, build relationships, and keep your speaking business moving.
-
Pitch + follow-up tools
Start with useful structure instead of a blank page. Use Club tools and templates, including the Personal Pitch Builder, to prepare stronger pitches, personalize your outreach, and make follow-up easier.
-
TEDx opportunities
Curated TEDx opportunities help you spot stages worth exploring without having to hunt them down one by one.
-
Podcast guest opportunities
Curated podcast guest opportunities give you another way to build visibility, relationships, authority, and referrals between speaking engagements.
-
Speaker templates + resources
Practical speaker templates, planners, and focused resources help you move faster on the work surrounding your booking pipeline instead of recreating everything from scratch.
-
Private speaker community
A place to ask questions, share wins, get perspective, and stay connected with other speakers working toward the same thing: getting booked.
And throughout the Club, you’ll also find practical speaker-booking tools and resources built to make the work easier.
One membership, two paths, one outcome: helping you get booked.
STAGE helps you build a foundation people can find and understand. Opportunity intelligence gets you to the right rooms. The Booking Command Center keeps the pipeline moving. And the tools, visibility opportunities, resources, and community help you keep doing the work around it.
Most directories list you. This one explains you.
Planners are changing how they start. Many now describe the room they are filling to a search engine or an AI tool and read whatever comes back. What those tools can say about you depends entirely on what they can find and understand.
A name on a list gives them almost nothing to work with. A profile built to answer real questions gives them something to say.
Pick a question a planner might ask about you.
These are the kinds of questions that decide whether you make someone’s shortlist. Your profile is built so the answers are already there, in plain language.
What your profile already says
Who you speak to
The exact audiences and industries you serve, named plainly. Not “leadership audiences” but the specific rooms: credit union branch managers, school administrators, clinical directors, sales teams at kickoff.
On every profile, in the same order
Audience + industries
Who is in the room when you are the right speaker, named specifically rather than described in general terms.
Topics + outcomes
What you speak about and what changes for the audience afterward, in the words a planner would recognize.
Your keynotes
Your talks and how they adapt to different rooms, so a planner can picture the session rather than guess at it.
Format + logistics
Keynote, workshop, virtual, where you are based, how you travel. The practical facts that decide fit early.
Proof + credibility
Credentials, media, client organizations, testimonials, and video, gathered in one place instead of scattered.
How to reach you
Your email, phone, website, and social links right on the page, so an interested planner has nowhere to get stuck.
Your name, on a list.
- A headshot, a one-line bio, and a link somewhere else
- Every entry formatted a little differently from the last
- Nothing that answers what a planner actually needs to know
- Whatever you wrote about yourself, whenever you last wrote it
A page built to be understood.
- The same required facts in the same order on every profile, so nothing important is missing from yours
- Plain-language answers to the questions planners ask, written as readable text rather than buried in a graphic
- Structured data behind the scenes describing who you are and what you answer, in the format search engines and AI tools read
- A public, indexable page on a site that has been online since 2002, kept current while you are a member
How yours gets built
You fill out one form. We build the page.
You answer the questions
One intake form covering your audiences, topics, talks, proof, and contact details.
We build it for you
Your page is built to the same standard as every other profile in the directory. You are not handed a blank template.
You approve it
It comes back to you for approval within about 10 business days of us having everything we need.
It stays current
Your profile stays live while you are a member. Two full updates a year, and small changes any time.
No one can promise you’ll be the name that comes back.
What we can do is make sure that when someone goes looking, what they find about you is clear, current, specific, and easy to understand. That is the part you control, and it is the part most speakers never get around to.
Your profile is included with Club membership. Nothing extra to buy.Member Stories
The proof isn’t in the pitch. It’s in the bookings.
Don’t take our word for it. Here’s what members say about what the Club has done for their speaking business, in their own words.
“I’m really getting value from the RFPs. I’ve booked almost $15K of gigs from it since I joined this summer. Keep up the good work!”
Traci BrownBody Language Expert, Keynote Speaker
“My ‘abstract’ speech proposal was selected from a field of 150. I’m the closing speaker for the National Association of School Nurses. I never would have found this engagement without the Club.”
Catherine JewellSpeaker & Author
“I received 2 more speaking gigs from the speaker list. I’ve booked 5 speaking gigs this year using the leads. 3 are paid; the other 2 turned into consulting clients.”
Daryl FletcherKeynote Speaker, Author, Relationship Expert
“My speaking fee for this presentation alone will justify my Charli Jane membership for many years. I just booked a great speaking gig for the International Spa Association conference in Las Vegas.”
David AvrinThe Visibility Coach
Several members, one video, each telling their own story. About four and a half minutes.
“What you put into it is what you get out of it.”
Ravi Hutheesing · Cultural Catalyst and Global Keynote Speaker
There’s a lot more where this came from. Booking screenshots, member posts, and reviews from speakers and the planners who hired them.

Monthly Club membership
$84
Annual Club membership
$1,008
30 months of membership
One $2,500 paid engagement is equivalent to approximately 30 months of Club membership.
Of course, the Club doesn’t promise bookings.
What it gives you is the STAGE foundation path, the opportunity intelligence, the pitching and follow-up tools, and the booking pipeline to consistently pursue more of the right opportunities.
You still choose the opportunities, send the pitches, build the relationships, and do the work.
The question isn’t whether one gig can cover $84/month. The question is whether a better system helps you get found more easily and pursue the right rooms more consistently.

Getting Booked. Screenshots straight from our member community and Facebook group. Real names, real posts, real dates. Hover to pause any row.
These results didn't happen by chance. They happened because speakers got clear about who they help, got in front of the right rooms, and had a system they could follow week after week.
What actually happens
Your first week, start to finish.
No drip sequence. No waiting for module two to unlock. Here’s exactly what it looks like from the moment you join.
- Minutes after you join
You’re inside
You register for your member dashboard and you’re in. Waiting at the top is your welcome guide, which is your map to everything in there.
Everything is unlocked on day one. Nothing is held back or released later.
- Your first session
You pick a lane
Your dashboard asks one question: where do you want to spend your time today? Build your foundation with STAGE, or go straight to working opportunities.
You can switch anytime, or skip the question and see everything at once.
- Worth doing early
You submit your Directory profile
The form is right on your dashboard. Fill it out and we build your profile page for you.
Do this in your first week rather than your third. It goes into a queue, so the sooner you send it, the sooner your page is live.
- Every Monday
New opportunities land
175+ curated speaking opportunities are added every single Monday. Not sporadically. Every Monday.
Search and filter them in the Booking Command Center, or open the raw spreadsheet if that’s how you prefer to work. Plenty of members do.
- Then it repeats
You work two or three
Not all 175. Pick the handful that genuinely fit, build your pitch, send it, and set the next move so nothing quietly falls off your radar.
That’s the whole loop. Every Monday it starts again with a fresh set.
No ChatGPT account needed.
Every tool is built right into your member area. Nothing extra to install, subscribe to, or sign up for.

A note from Wendi
The tools keep changing. What speakers need hasn’t.
I started helping speakers get found in 2002, back when that meant Yahoo, Google, and an internet most people were still squinting at. The way planners look for speakers has changed several times since then. It is changing again right now.
What hasn’t changed is what I’ve watched happen over and over. Talented speakers don’t usually need more motivation, and they don’t need to be famous first. They need to be clear about who they help, easy to find, credible when someone looks, and ready when the moment comes.
That’s what I want the Speakers Club to give you. A foundation people can actually understand, opportunities worth looking at, useful intelligence, practical tools, and a booking pipeline that helps you know what to do next.
You’ll still be the one building relationships, sending pitches, following up, and showing up when the yes comes. We’re here to make that work easier to see and easier to keep doing.
If that sounds like what you need right now, I’d be happy to have you with us when the doors open.

Real people behind the system
You won’t be handed a login and left to figure it out.
The tools and opportunities matter. So does having somewhere to turn when you have a question, need direction, or aren’t sure what your next move should be.
Real support from people who know the Club. Because sometimes you just need a human answer.
Inside the Charli Jane Speakers Club, support isn’t an afterthought. There are real people behind the membership who know the tools, the opportunities, and the work speakers are trying to do.
Since 2002, we’ve supported speakers as they build and grow their speaking businesses. Have a question about where something is, how a Club resource works, or what to do next? You have a team you can reach out to.
This isn’t a “here’s your password, good luck” membership. The system gives you structure, and the Charli Jane team is there to help when you need clarification or support along the way.
Our goal: help you keep moving.
Not by doing the work for you, but by giving you the opportunities, tools, direction, and human support that make the next move easier to see.
A home for speakers who are serious about getting booked. You are not doing this alone.
