FINDING THE SPEAKER’S EDGE

Turning Your Part-Time Passion into Your Full-Time Professional Speaking Career

The speaking industry is entering a new era.

What was once considered a side hustle for a small percentage of entrepreneurs, authors, and coaches is quickly becoming one of the most powerful industries in the world for influence, authority, and income generation.

According to Michael D. Butler, the professional speaking industry is projected to grow from an estimated $8 billion industry in 2020 to nearly $100 billion by 2030.

That means there has never been a better time to develop your voice, clarify your message, and step onto stages both online and offline.

In FINDING THE SPEAKER’S EDGE: Turning Your Part-Time Passion into Your Full-Time Professional Speaking Career on Stage and Online, Michael D. Butler shares lessons learned from delivering more than 3,000 paid talks over the past 30 years across multiple industries and countries.

This is not theory.

This is practical experience from someone who has built a career around communication, publishing, leadership, branding, and movement-building.

Why Speaking Matters More Than Ever

Today’s marketplace rewards communicators.

Authors who speak grow faster.
Coaches who speak attract more clients.

Speaking is no longer limited to conference ballrooms and hotel stages.

Now speaking opportunities happen:

• On podcasts
• Through livestreams
• In webinars
• On YouTube
• In mastermind groups
• Through online communities
• At corporate events

The modern speaker must learn how to communicate effectively both on the stage and online.

That is exactly what FINDING THE SPEAKER’S EDGE helps readers accomplish.
