    Welcome to Speakers Making Waves: Where Speakers Turn Messages Into Impact
    2026/09/15

    Speakers Making Waves kicks off with Kimberley Crowe and Michelle Abraham sharing the vision behind a show built for people who know their voice can make a difference. Whether that message is meant for a stage, a podcast, a business, or a community, Kimberley and Michelle believe that speaking is about more than being heard. It is about creating connection, opening opportunities, building authority, and using what you know to make a meaningful contribution.

    As they introduce themselves, the Speakers Making Waves community, and the voices being featured throughout the launch event, a bigger theme begins to emerge: you do not have to wait until you feel completely ready to start sharing your message. From turning visibility into real authority to making a living through speaking without losing sight of impact, Kimberley and Michelle set the tone for a show designed to help more people step up, grab the mic, and get their ideas into the world.

    Waves Worth Catching:

    • What changes when you stop thinking about speaking as a performance and start seeing it as a way to create real impact.
    • Why simply putting more content into the world may not be the visibility strategy you think it is.
    • The opportunity that opens when your message, expertise, and authority start working together.
    • Why saying yes to the mic can create opportunities you may not see coming.
    • Can your voice create both a meaningful contribution and a meaningful living?

  • Stop Chasing Visibility. Build an Authority Ecosystem Instead. | Michelle Abraham

    Stop Chasing Visibility. Build an Authority Ecosystem Instead. | Michelle Abraham
    2026/09/15
    Building authority starts with getting clear on what you want to be known for, who you serve, and why your perspective matters before you focus on getting more visible. Michelle Abraham explains how an authority ecosystem brings your message, audience, positioning, proof, and keywords together so people can more easily recognize, remember, trust, refer, and choose you.She explores why scattered content and inconsistent messaging can make it harder for both people and AI-driven search tools to understand where your expertise fits. Rather than trying to be everywhere, Michelle encourages a more intentional approach: create consistent signals through podcasts, speaking, interviews, social media, books, and other authority assets so your message keeps pointing back to the same clear idea. The result is not just more visibility, but stronger positioning and a reputation that becomes easier to find and easier to share.Waves Worth CatchingWhat happens when people know you are good at what you do but still cannot explain what you actually do.Why becoming more visible before getting clear on your message can make your authority harder, not easier, to recognize.The five pieces that can turn scattered content, interviews, and speaking opportunities into something much more connected.Why your unique perspective and lived experience may matter more to your positioning than trying to prove you are better than everyone else.How the words and ideas you repeat can help people, search engines, and AI begin connecting your name with a specific area of expertise.About Your Hosts:Kimberly Crowe is an award-winning international speaker, TEDx speaker, six-time entrepreneur, best-selling author, and founder of Entrepreneurs Rocket Fuel.

  • How to Make Money Speaking and Sharing Your Message | Kimberley Crowe

    How to Make Money Speaking and Sharing Your Message | Kimberley Crowe
    2026/09/15

    You can make money from speaking by delivering a clear message, giving your audience a natural next step, and continuing the conversation after the talk. Kimberley Crowe breaks down how speakers can turn stages, podcasts, summits, and other speaking opportunities into leads, clients, and revenue through her MIC framework: message, invitation, and continued follow-up.

    She also challenges the belief that you need to be the biggest expert in the room before your knowledge has value. What feels ordinary to you may be exactly what someone else needs to learn. Kimberley explores why avoiding the invitation can leave opportunities on the table, how thoughtful follow-up keeps your audience connected, and why speaking works best when impact and income are part of the same conversation.

    Waves Worth Catching:

    • Why being great on stage does not automatically mean your speaking will generate clients or revenue.
    • The part of a presentation many speakers rush through, even though it may be where the real opportunity begins.
    • Why your audience needs a natural next step instead of a last-second sales pitch.
    • What can happen when someone joins your world after hearing you speak and then never hears from you again.
    • Why the expertise you take for granted may be far more valuable to someone else than you realize.

  • The 3 Easiest Book Models That Can Turn Your Story, Message or Expertise Into Income

    The 3 Easiest Book Models That Can Turn Your Story, Message or Expertise Into Income
    2026/09/15
    Speakers, coaches, and experts can turn a book into income by choosing a model that supports their message, builds credibility, and creates opportunities beyond book sales. Kelly Woodhouse breaks down three approaches: authority books that strengthen credibility through association, signature story books that share the experiences behind your message, and tool-based books that turn your expertise or framework into practical steps readers can use.Kelly also explains why the real value of a book may have very little to do with selling a $20 copy. A book can become a workbook, workshop, course, coaching program, speaking tool, audiobook, or other extension of your intellectual property. Drawing from her own journey from speaker to bestselling author and publisher, she explores how the right book can strengthen your positioning, support your speaking career, and give people another way to experience and invest in what you know.Waves Worth CatchingWhy having a book can change how event organizers, podcast hosts, and potential clients see your expertise.The three very different book models speakers can use, depending on whether they want to borrow authority, tell their story, or teach a framework.Why the most valuable thing your book creates may have nothing to do with the price printed on the cover.Which kind of book Kelly recommends starting with when writing an entire book feels overwhelming.How one idea inside a book can grow into workshops, workbooks, courses, speaking opportunities, and other income streams.About Your Hosts:Kimberly Crowe is an award-winning international speaker, TEDx speaker, six-time entrepreneur, best-selling author, and founder of Entrepreneurs Rocket Fuel.

  • The Invisible Advantage | Jean Border

    The Invisible Advantage | Jean Border
    2026/09/15
    Your mindset, beliefs, and ability to trust yourself can influence the decisions you make in business, leadership, and life. Jean Border explores what she calls the “invisible advantage,” looking at how energy, self-sabotaging beliefs, intuition, and personal power can either support your progress or quietly keep you stuck. Her approach begins with three decisions: see where you are and where you want to go, narrow your focus to what truly serves you, and take strategic action toward it.Drawing from her own experience with energy work, entrepreneurship, and decades of leadership, Jean shares why becoming aware of the beliefs running beneath your choices can change the way you move forward. She and Michelle explore everything from money beliefs and negative self-talk to boundaries, intuition, and knowing when something no longer fits. At the heart of the conversation is a simple challenge: notice where you may be giving away your power, decide what you actually want, and begin making choices that move you toward it.Waves Worth CatchingWhat might be influencing your business decisions before you are even consciously aware of it.Why getting clear on what you actually want can be more powerful than constantly focusing on what is going wrong.How old beliefs about money, success, and belonging can quietly show up as self-sabotage.What changes when you begin looking for evidence that you can trust yourself instead of evidence that you cannot.Where you may be giving away your personal power without realizing it, and how to decide whether it still serves you.About Your Hosts:Kimberly Crowe is an award-winning international speaker, TEDx speaker, six-time entrepreneur, best-selling author, and founder of Entrepreneurs Rocket Fuel.

  • Will the REAL Me Please Stand Up | Rosemary Blaum

    Will the REAL Me Please Stand Up | Rosemary Blaum
    2026/09/15
    You can make more authentic, aligned decisions by learning to listen to your intuition, checking whether a choice supports the life you are creating, and having the courage to act on what you know. Rosemary Blaum shares how reconnecting with your gut instinct can help you move beyond other people’s expectations and make choices that better reflect your values, purpose, and true self.Rosemary introduces the questions she uses when a decision feels unclear: Does this move me closer to the life I am creating? Does it align with my values and purpose? Will it expand where I am going, or am I holding back because of fear? She and Kimberley also explore the masks people learn to wear, the stories that can undermine self-worth, and why the real version of you sometimes needs a safer environment before it is willing to come forward. Ultimately, Rosemary connects intuition with courage, reminding listeners that alignment happens when what you know in your mind and what you recognize in your gut begin working together.Waves Worth CatchingThe three questions Rosemary uses when a yes sounds exciting but may not actually support where you want to go.Why being good at something does not necessarily mean it reflects who you really are.What can happen when you spend too long living according to the version of yourself other people expect to see.How old stories about your worth can influence whether you trust yourself enough to take the next step.Why intuition alone may not be enough without the courage to follow what it is telling you.About Your Hosts:Kimberly Crowe is an award-winning international speaker, TEDx speaker, six-time entrepreneur, best-selling author, and founder of Entrepreneurs Rocket Fuel.

  • Stress-Busters for Widly Busy Women | Vivianne Israel

    Stress-Busters for Widly Busy Women | Vivianne Israel
    2026/09/15
    Busy people can reduce stress without carving out large amounts of time by using short, restorative practices that support both energy and mental presence. Vivianne Israel explains why true self-care is not the same as occasional “me time,” and why managing your schedule alone is not enough if your mind and body never get a chance to reset. Even brief practices can help create the pauses your brain needs to feel less scattered and more present.Vivianne explores what she calls the productivity paradox: sometimes slowing down for a minute or two can actually help you accomplish more. She shares how small pockets of restorative time can become cumulative, helping your system respond more quickly and making those practices easier to access when stress rises. She also introduces short meditative approaches, including the Awe Method and a laser-focus practice, and challenges the belief that self-care is selfish or has to take 20 or 30 minutes to matter.Waves Worth CatchingWhy better time management may not solve the real reason you feel constantly overwhelmed.The difference between occasional “me time” and the kind of self-care that actually restores your mind and energy.What Vivianne means by the productivity paradox, and why slowing down can sometimes help you get more done.How practices that take only a minute or two can begin creating a cumulative shift in the way you handle stress.Why becoming less impressed by how busy you are may open the door to more ease, presence, and joy.About Your Hosts:Kimberly Crowe is an award-winning international speaker, TEDx speaker, six-time entrepreneur, best-selling author, and founder of Entrepreneurs Rocket Fuel.

  • FORGED. How Leaders Turn Pressure Into Power | Shairose Gulamani

    FORGED. How Leaders Turn Pressure Into Power | Shairose Gulamani
    2026/09/15
    Leaders can turn pressure into power by learning how to stabilize themselves, strengthen their capacity, and sustain their performance without sacrificing their health, relationships, or purpose. Shairose Gulamani introduces her S3 Leadership System, built around three repeatable steps: stabilize, strengthen, and sustain. She explains why pressure itself is not always the problem. The bigger risk is becoming dysregulated under pressure and losing access to the clear thinking, confidence, and judgment you need most.Shairose breaks down what each stage looks like in practice, from regulating your nervous system before solving the problem, to strengthening your communication and decision-making, to building sustainable habits through rest, recovery, and recalibration. She also shares a personal story about choosing calm during a high-pressure moment in her business and seeing that steadiness ripple through her team. Her message is not about avoiding pressure, but learning how to respond to it in a way that develops you instead of diminishing you.Waves Worth CatchingWhy pressure may not be what breaks leaders, and what can happen when dysregulation takes over.The three-part S3 system Shairose uses to help leaders stabilize, strengthen, and sustain.Why solving the problem may need to come after stabilizing the person experiencing it.What “calm is contagious” can look like when everyone around you is waiting for you to lead.Why rest, recovery, and recalibration are not signs of weakness but part of making leadership sustainable.About Your Hosts:Kimberly Crowe is an award-winning international speaker, TEDx speaker, six-time entrepreneur, best-selling author, and founder of Entrepreneurs Rocket Fuel.
