Freelancer Visibility Series #2
Using Public Speaking to Get More Clients
If you want your dream clients to come to you instead of you chasing them, it’s time to get serious about public speaking. And no, you don’t need to be Tony Robbins or have a viral TikTok, you just need to show up and share your expertise the smart way.
In this Freelancer Visibility Series episode, we’re diving into the power of public speaking with Laurie-Ann Murabito: a reformed shy girl turned award-winning speaker, speaking coach, and strategist. Laurie-Ann helps clients communicate with confidence, position themselves as experts, and attract dream clients through speaking opportunities. With 25 years of experience, she’s a Master Coach, a neuroscience nerd when it comes to audience behavior, a best-selling author (Rethink Leadership and Rethink Your Leadership), and host of the top 1% podcast Be In Demand.
Listen in to learn more about
- Why public speaking is the fastest path to authority, client trust, and inbound leads (even if you’re terrified right now)
- How to find speaking opportunities (spoiler: there are thousands happening every day!)
- The simple types of talks you can give even if you’re “not ready” or you think you don’t know what to say

Laurie-Ann is here to show you exactly how to step out from behind the laptop and onto the “stage,” whether it’s a live room, a Zoom room, or a podcast guest spot — and use public speaking as your best form of marketing.
