A practical accelerator for VAs and speaker teams who want to understand, support, and strengthen the business behind professional speaking.
Too many VAs say "yes" to speaker clients with zero idea of how the speaking business actually runs, then spend the next six months guessing, googling, and hoping nobody notices. This cohort fixes that. Four weeks. Live. No fluff, no guruism, no 47-template starter pack that just becomes digital clutter.
You want to stop saying yes to speaker clients without knowing what you're walking into. You're ready to become genuinely useful, dangerous in a good way, instead of just "available."
You're done walking your team through the same backend tasks for the 89th time. You need them to understand the speaking business from someone who has actually managed it, not from a YouTube rabbit hole.
Some folks RSVP spiritually and disappear physically. This cohort isn't built for them. Bless their hearts.
"There are many people who can show you how to execute the speaker game, but one of the first hires you need is a rock-star admin who can handle the calls and booking leads, and is empowered to negotiate within approved parameters. If you have a VA or a full-time assistant, you need to have them take Regina's course. I highly recommend it."
John Register, CSP, CPAE Keynote Speaker · Expert on Embracing Change"Regina has a rare gift for bringing calm to chaos. Members of my team participated in her workshops, and the impact has been immediate, lasting, and deeply meaningful. Our business runs more smoothly and our team operates with greater confidence."
Denise Hamilton Author of Indivisible · Speaker & Work Futurist“Regina is very likely the best business manager in the speaking business. Her ability to leverage systems, deliver white-glove service, and manage teams makes her an incredible asset to any speaking business. In the ten years we've worked together, she has helped grow my business beyond what I thought was possible.”
By the end of these four weeks, you will understand how professional speaking businesses operate, what speakers actually need from their support team, and how to handle the work without guessing your way through it:
What speakers actually do, how they make money, who books them, what bureaus are, what associations and corporations look for, and exactly where VAs fit into all of it.
Homework: Map out the speaker business modelHow to track inquiries, referrals, past clients, bureaus, speaker forms, calls for speakers, and Talkadot leads, and follow up so money stops dying quietly in the inbox.
Homework: Build a sample lead tracker + a 10-target outreach listContracts, logistics, AV needs, travel details, prep calls, speaker materials, timelines, and how to keep the speaker from accidentally becoming their own operations department.
Homework: Create an event support checklistCommunication, anticipating needs, protecting the speaker's reputation, reporting, SOPs, boundaries, and accountability, how to become genuinely valuable instead of just available.
Homework: Submit your Speaker Support Action PlanInformation without implementation is just digital clutter. That's why there's homework every single week.
"Each class leaves me feeling more inspired and motivated. Regina's patience and willingness to answer all our questions are remarkable, and the wealth of knowledge she shares is invaluable. I look forward to every class."
Jasmin Levy Business Manager to John Register"If you're a VA looking to specialize in serving professional speakers, this is a game-changer. Regina shares insider knowledge about the speaking industry that's invaluable. It's an investment that will elevate your business and set you apart."
Jessica Tinner Client Engagement & Speaker Ops Specialist"What I appreciated most was the homework — it encouraged me to start applying the concepts right away. I learn best through real-world implementation, and this program gave me real insight into where I can grow."
Annick Ina Program ManagerReal training, in real time, with real questions, not a pile of pre-recorded videos you'll "get to later."
One workbook that walks with you through all four weeks, not a 90-page PDF you'll never open.
Just enough to implement. Too many templates turn people into collectors, not doers.
You leave each week with something built, not just something noted.
Bring the messy, real questions. This is where the guessing finally stops.
Finish the work and earn it. Proof you did the work, not a participation sticker.
"Regina knows speakers and all the backend work it takes to get a speaker out the door, on the stage, back home, and through follow-up. She not only has a system in place, she has all the forms speakers need, and she's a master at eSpeakers!"
Karen McCullough, CSP Keynote Speaker · Change & Workforce Trends"She understands not just the operations side, but the importance of creating a premium, white-glove client experience from the very first touchpoint. We're more organized, more professional, and much more intentional in how we manage speaker inquiries and the overall event experience."
Sandra Pou Program Director for Owen FitzpatrickI design and manage the team, the systems, and the structure behind profitable speaking businesses, so the speaker can focus on showing up instead of catching up. For 11 years I've worked with professional speakers and their teams, turning scattered operations into organized, revenue-driving ecosystems: backend business development, proven processes, SOPs, and the kind of clarity that actually lets a business scale.
I built this cohort because I've watched too many talented, in-demand speakers run remarkable businesses on memory and good luck. They've got the visibility. What's missing is the intelligence underneath it, the part their team doesn't know yet, the part that tells you what's working, what's not, and what to do next.
The price reflects the value, plain and simple. This is a real investment in a skill set that pays you back, not a $97 workshop you'll forget by Friday. Pick the seat that fits where you actually are.
For the virtual assistant who's done walking into speaker client work blind, and ready to become genuinely valuable in this industry.

Apply for the BundleThis is the Founding Return price for bringing the Academy back. Future cohorts will cost more, that's not a fake countdown, it's just the truth.
"Before working with her, my business was a mess. I think I lost $30,000 in opportunities because I was disorganized with no systems and poor customer service. With Regina, my business and brand have excelled to exponential growth."
Anton J. Gunn, MSW, CSP Former Special Advisor to President Barack Obama"Regina provides the structure and processes speakers need to thrive. I recouped my investment in two sessions! Need help with structure and process? Look no further."
