“Wendi is an absolute gem! There is so much value in being a Charli Jane Speaker Club member. I initially discovered Charli Jane Speaker Services when I was looking to redo my speaker onesheet design, but ended up getting so much more.

As a member, you get access to expert advice, resources, support from like-minded speaking professionals, and Wendi herself being a part of the discussions and encouraging an engaging (and fun!) learning environment.

Getting feedback from Wendi has been a game changer for me to better manage speaking/workshop opportunities. She is great at letting you know how to handle tough conversations as well as advising on key questions every speaker should ask and consider when evaluating opportunities.  Wendi is responsive, genuine, and truly invested in helping her members succeed!” – Marietta Gentles Crawford – Writer, Personal Brand Strategist, Speaker, and Author
