IF YOU WANT TO LAND 5-6 FIGURE CORPORATE SPEAKING CONTRACTS (AND DITCH BROKE, HIGH-MAINTENANCE CLIENTS) THEN THIS WILL BE THE MOST IMPACTFUL EVENT EXPERIENCE YOU WILL EVER ATTEND, HERE'S WHY...

Speak Your Way To Cash Live is unlike any other business event you have ever attended! 

First, you will learn the real ins and outs of pitching and landing 6-figure contracts. No matter where you are on your speaking journey, trust me, you already have enough knowledge for corporations to pay you handsomely to share it. 

 

Further, this is REAL TRAINING. 

 

Like hands on training. You will NOT be a fly on the wall only listening to big shots tell you their story. 

 

No no no… 

 

Whether you are here in person or attending virtually, YOU will be a part of the event. You will join mastermind breakout sessions, you’ll share your voice, and you’ll be an active participant. Your education and transformation will actually HAPPEN. You will also meet and network with other professionals and make valuable business contacts. 

 

Trust me, your life will be changed because after the three days, you’ll be changed. The actionable knowledge and confidence you leave with will be YOURS FOREVER. Talk about the ultimate takeaway! 

FOR OUR SIXTH LIVE RETREAT, WE’RE PULLING OUT ALL THE STOPS!

Over three days, here's what you will experience:

  • A Dreamer’s Den 

    A session where I will literally guide you through an exercise to imagine the life of your dreams! Don’t take this lightly, every major company on the planet started with a dream.  The cool part is, we don't stop at dreaming, we then get into how you can make that dream a reality.

  • The Language Lab 

    This is one of our most anticipated sessions of the entire experience. During The Language Lab, I will give you the exact language you need to move sales conversations forward with corporate and collegiate clients. No more sweating on sales calls because you don't know how to handle an objection. No more guessing what to say in order to get to the money part of the conversation. No more pausing or stumbling before you ask for six-figures on a sales call. This session will teach you how to confidently sell to anyone via a phone conversation. Literally, this is the MILLION DOLLAR PARTY. Because prospecting is THAT powerful. Believe me, you will want to be in the room - virtually or in-person.

  • Pricing Pathology 

    Look, it’s HARD to ask for not only what you think you are worth, but to shoot for the moon and ask for five and six-figures. But you won’t get it unless you ask. During the Pricing Pathology session, I will teach you the methods we use to successfully make offers (and yes, these methods worked from day one, before anyone but my husband knew my name). This session will be integral to showing you how to package and price your materials for large corporate contracts. If you have ever struggled with setting your price, “saying” your price, or explaining the value of your price, then this session will CHANGE EVERYTHING for you. Without proper pricing your business can't have explosive profits. Let me help you explode your profits with the Pricing Pathology.

  • Storyselling Secrets

    Did you know that 92% of buyers prefer when a brand sells to them utilizing a story? As speakers, you have to know how to tell a good story. It is critical that you fully understand how to relay why you do what you do using storytelling. During this segment of the event, I will show you how to build your brand story and integrate your framework. This is a story that you can utilize in TEDx talks,  sales conversations, and on your website to make sure that everyone who comes across you understands who you are and why you are the obvious choice to help them get to the next level! Corporate representatives want to hear your story! But it needs to be well developed and thought out before you get them on the phone! In the past, not going to lie, this session has caused some waterworks! You might have a story that’s so powerful, but yet to be properly packaged. I’m here for you. Let’s get that story to the masses! 

The above sessions are going to be bananas but we haven't even scratched the surface of what we are going to unlock and uncover during the three-day experience. 


You will be coached by me for 3 days, showing you how our Speak Your Way To Cash methods will  drastically transform your life.

What ELSE YOU Will Learn AT The EVENT?

You'll learn from experienced speakers and thought leaders. You'll also hear from some of Ashley's clients who've taken her paid courses and "walked the talk", and they will show you what they did and how they did it. 

Who, What, and How...

Since this is a Speak Your Way to Cash event, of course you're going to learn the insider secrets in landing the big gigs.

  • WHO to Pitch

    There are thousands of corporations and organizations hiring live and virtual speakers in record numbers (even during a pandemic). There has NEVER been a larger demand for speakers from all industries on all topics.

  • WHAT to Pitch Them

    If you found your way to this page, then we're confident you already have the knowledge corporations and organizations will pay to hear. It's a matter of packaging and presenting. We'll help you craft that signature speech that organizations will pay to hear.

  • HOW to Pitch Them

    Putting together an irresistible offer is an art, and we'll unlock the secret to creating that perfect pitch. Stop pitching from a place of insecurity and start pitching with confidence!

THE SPEAKER MINDSET...

This is the big breakthrough everyone leaves with. Successful paid speaking is as much about mindset as it is speaking chops. Over two days, you'll…

  • Believe in Your Speaking Self More Than Ever

    Many high achievers secretly suffer from self-doubt and/or imposter syndrome, and internally diminish their achievements. Relax, it's not only common, but it's completely false. Trust us, you're worth it, and well PROVE it!

  • Carry Yourself Like a Speaker

    Whether you're on stage, in front of the camera, or eating breakfast alone, you are a professional speaker at all times. You'll shift your mindset to the "pro" level, and keep it there!!

  • Make the Contacts

    Our live events are explosive networking opportunities. You will make new friends, secure valuable contacts, and walk (virtually) amongst peers and colleagues, all benefitting from a collaborative learning experience and confidence that is, quite frankly, life-changing

Six Events and Counting...

When we held our first SYWTC Live Event, we were spurred on by the enthusiasm for the entire SYWTC program and the community that sprang up around it. Regardless, we were a little apprehensive that first time, because it was new…

 

…and it blew everyone away! We immediately planned the next one, which was an astounding success as well (and it’s been increasingly awesome since).  Event after event, we get new attendees, and plenty of folks who come each time to keep their speaking game sharp. The returnees tell us it gets better and better, which lets us know we’re doing something right.   

 

We’ve taken feedback and incorporated it into 2021’s event, making this next event the best ever. We’re focusing even more on mindset and changing thought processes regarding money and speaking. You’ll experience never before seen elements and exercises to break you through to where you want to go. 

We can’t wait to see you there.

Lock in now and get a Bonus Box.

But Enough From Us…

Here's What 2020 Attendees Have Said:

"The SYWTC Experience is a high-level incubator for individuals who seriously want to learn the inner workings of a successful speaking business. The experts who presented were top of their class and imparted invaluable insight that you can't get anywhere else. This mastermind has equipped me to show up powerfully in my industry without having to guess whether I'm "doing it right." Ashley curated a perfect experience jam-packed with tangible strategies, resources and tools to take immediate action. If you want to build a sustainable speaking business, this mastermind is your blueprint."

Brittany Sherell

"Speak Your Way To Cash delivered the confirmation needed to think outside the box by throwing the box away. The level of anxiety has as I entertained the idea of committing to this part of my journey helped me realize how real imposter syndrome; especially as a Black woman in academia can derail your personal and professional goals. I'm here to share that this investment changed the way I think and speak about my brand. It's go time! Thank you Ashley Kirkwood and team!"

 

 

Dr. Shaniqua Jones

"I've attended many conferences over the years and this was one of the few that provided actionable content in every session. I knew from experience that Ashley is a phenom, but I didn't expect every single guest to be of such a high caliber! The virtual experience and the customer service from her team set a new level of excellence. There are only 3 months left in the year and I know I will earn my admission fee back many times over before the end of the year.​"

Rachel Bernier-Green

"This event has inspired me in so many ways. Why not me!? This event has given me the courage and strength to go after opportunities using my talents of writing and speaking. Most importantly, it has inspired me to be candid and authentic in storytelling and it has allowed me network with so many like-minded professional and entrepreneurs."
