You have a great idea that you want to share with the world through your speaking, and training, but you don't know where to start or even how to turn that idea into an actionable, profitable action plan...
You've spent many hours trying to get booked to speak, while trying to build your client list, and you're sick of the frustration of no call backs, and missed opportunities that seemed right in your reach. You're tired of wrestling with the newest marketing fad or booking approach while battling tech overwhelm...
You’re getting sporadic engagements here and there, but nothing with regularity. You’re becoming overwhelmed, a little frustrated and beginning to question your next steps. Frankly, you're out of ideas on how to grow your speaking business and target the right events or meeting planners.
If this does sound familiar to you, then you also know what a challenge it can be trying to get quality advice & support from your peers and others who have been in similar situations.
That's why I created the I Speak Life Academy.
The I Speak Life Academy was created to provide virtual learning for public speakers, entrepreneurs and business owners who wanted an on-demand solution for their learning and ongoing professional development.
The I Speak Life Academy offers more than just online courses. It offers a blueprint for your success!
I was tired of hearing stories about wonderful people with hearts to serve and share their advice or expertise with the world that continued to hit roadblocks. People just like you and me who were experiencing "roadblocks" because of the endless sea of marketers who promise you the world if you just sign up, but then don’t reveal the next steps for your success.
Other "Roadblocks" like...
Doom and gloom predictions about the end of the speaking business as we know it, but no alternative solutions offered?
Mind-numbing webinars about growing your speaking business, but not sharing a thing about strategy, selling, advertising or marketing.
Expensive courses that make big claims about helping you be successful... but stop short of giving you an opportunity for life-long learning via training and regular communication.
Thankfully, those days are behind you...
Starting, building And growing Your Speaking Business just got a whole lot easier.
The I Speak Life Academy is Your Exclusive Resource For The Training, Advice, and
the Support you need to Plan, Create, Grow or Scale a Profitable, Speaking Business.

and much, more...
*Added Value: Done for You Lead Generation!
Let us help you get started!
One of the biggest concerns I've heard from both seasoned and new speakers, is the discipline of prospecting and all that it requires.
Many a speaker has thrown in the towel because they just can't seem to get consistent leads.
Well, as an added benefit to membership in the I Speak Life Academy, we help you find your next opportunity to speak or to make a connection with meeting and event planners.
That's right...each week we share over 100 new speaking opportunities to help you get Booked and Paid to Speak Life on more stages.
That's 400 leads per month provided to you!
Dr. Carthen’s courses are a fantastic resource for new and seasoned speakers. His years of experience coupled with successful speaking revenue truly does make him an authority on the matter of public speaking. I am so grateful he is willing to share his knowledge and help others become successful too!

A Little Bit About Me...
I'm Dr. Jason Carthen and I want to make sure that you have an action plan for your speaking business that serves as a road-map for your strategic success.
I made a commitment a long time ago to help entrepreneurs and business owners just like you to reach their full potential when chasing after their goals and dreams, and for over 20 years I have been doing just that...helping others start #winning in their business'. There is no reason why you can't start, grow and scale your speaking businesses to massive success.
I've been invited all over the world to share my business perspectives on the entrepreneur and small business owner. From Oxford University in England, to the pages of Inc. Magazine, Forbes and Harvard Business.
After speaking and training for two decades, Dr. Jason Carthen recognized the need to provide a rich and effective learning solution for Speakers and Business Leaders. For that reason, the I Speak Life Academy Online Learning Portal™ was created. The portal provides individuals and organizations with a vibrant and relevant learning solution that encourages a deep dive into experiential learning that is tailored to their specific pursuits and developmental needs. Best practices around distance learning and asynchronous tools are followed to give participants the best chance to accomplish learning objectives that help to meet both individualized or group goals.

What happens if I decide to cancel my membership?
I'm still at square one with my membership site, will the Academy be right for me?
Obviously we'd love it if all of our members stuck around forever - but we've worked with memberships long enough to know that's not going to happen! So, if you do decide to cancel obviously we'll be very sad, but if you're intent on leaving then you'll be able to do so with just 2 clicks of a mouse.
However - we recognize that sometimes you may not want to leave, but perhaps the timing just isn't right for you, maybe something has come up in your personal life, or your speaking focus has to be put on hold and you just can't justify paying for something that you know you'll not be able to utilize for a few months. So you can also put your account on hold for a few months if need.

I am so thankful that I found the I Speak Life Academy! Before I discovered the Academy, my business was floundering. As a result of my membership and Dr. Jason’s coaching my confidence has soared and my business is growing now.
