Do not miss this opportunity

to be part of our brand new book –
and your chance to share a speaking moment that made a big difference.

Have you ever delivered a talk that stayed with the audience long after the room emptied?

Do you have a presentation you still think about because you know it changed how people thought, decided, or acted?

Have you ever wished you could capture the real impact of your speaking, beyond testimonials and applause?

Now is your opportunity to share that experience in print.

Your moment...
immortalised in print.

Speak Up: And Make a Difference brings together twelve professional speakers from a wide range of backgrounds, industries, and stages of their speaking careers.

Each contributor shares one real presentation that mattered. A talk that created impact, influenced thinking, unlocked action, or shaped an outcome beyond the stage itself.

These are not the usual performance stories or theoretical examples. They are real speaking moments, delivered in real rooms, where words carried consequence and something genuinely shifted for the audience listening.

Typically, each chapter sets the scene with an account of the presentation itself, setting the context, the stakes, and why that particular talk mattered. Contributors then clearly establish the impact the presentation had on the audience, how it made a difference, and what changed as a result.

The focus then turns inward. Each speaker reflects on what the experience, or culmination if experiences, changed for them personally, what they might have learned about themselves, what assumptions were challenged, and how the moment may have shaped the way they now approach speaking.

Every chapter concludes with practical, relatable takeaways drawn directly from the experience. Not generic tips or recycled frameworks, but usable insight that other speakers can apply, whether they are established professionals or just beginning their speaking journey.

This new co-author book explores how some of the most valuable business lessons are formed... through experience.

For some contributors, Speak Up will be their first time becoming a published author.

For others, it is a rare opportunity to perhaps share entirely new insight that may not as yet appeared on stage, in a keynote, or in an existing book before now.

It is also a powerful way to case-study a prestigious, meaningful, or career-defining presentation, reinforcing your credibility and positioning you as a speaker whose words create real impact.

Beyond the book

For many contributors, a book forms part of something larger. Where appropriate, we also support wider positioning as a person of influence - including personal branding, photography direction, pitch decks, presentation design and supporting social media assets. These additional services are optional and tailored, allowing contributors to build a cohesive presence around their book if they choose.
