Amy Gray, Personal Speaker's Agent and Wealth Builder since 2001
Atypical speakers on the rise
We are witnessing the rise of the atypical speaker. Today’s modern success stories are multi-faceted, and the heroes and heroines of those stories are multi-faceted, too. It is an exciting time to be an expert with valuable knowledge to share. My private speaker’s agent service is specifically designed for those who’ve crossed the threshold of celebrity in their area of expertise – or are poised to vault across it ASAP.
With increasingly flexible formats, global reach, low barriers to entry, and the immediate gratification of connecting with audiences, many public figures are reconsidering their strategic approach to speaking. Those who previously didn’t consider speaking now selectively consider opportunities. The limited stereotype of a “Professional Speaker” is dead and so are antiquated rules around how paid speaking must operate, what successful speaking looks like, or sounds like.
- What’s out: Rigidity and conformity
- What’s in: Flexibility and unique value proposition
Many creators see speaking as a component of their portfolio of interests, their business, and/or their personal brand. Whether it serves a primary or ancillary role, they are united in their view that speaking is a powerful part of their bigger picture of success. Their speaking strategy must be customized. That is my specialty. I craft strategic plans that can be refreshed as foundational factors evolve in my clients’ personal and professional lives. No cookie-cutter approach will do.
This is deep, privileged, exciting work and it is my ZONE. My private clients are modern, diverse, and extraordinary – the result of today’s tech-driven, social media-powered, fractional expertise-era. Speaking is an intentional mechanism to convert their influence into impact and lucrative opportunities. The first step is a 1:1 Strategy Consult where we get to know one another — with me offering you immediate insight and context on your unique situation, with ZERO sales pitch. The details for those are here – and you can self-schedule one at your convenience here: https://calendly.com/amy_a_gray

My clients are my priority
My clients have been my top priority for more than two decades. I view them as ‘people’ first, not as the world-famous figure, best-selling author, or celebrity. I understand the human behind the public image and deeply understand and support their priorities. Speaking is an important part of their legacy – whether they accept many invitations or very few. I pay attention. I operate with full discretion and confidentiality. I offer my expertise and recommendations and then step back, to allow my clients to make their own decisions. We are fired up to do meaningful, important work together.
You are not
typical
You are not a speaker in the traditional sense. Your public profile attracts speaking invitations, yet you don’t define yourself as a “speaker.”
Speaking is something you do, selectively, in service of your higher priorities. You pride yourself on your depth of experience in your chosen field and have a strong desire to share that depth in a meaningful way to help others.
You are a very accomplished ‘Do-er’ in your primary career. Speaking is an interesting way to build your legacy and offer a generous perspective on what it took to create your visible success. The world is hungry for your message.
influence &
positive impact
You thrive at the intersection of influence and positive impact. It shows in your personality, the way you treat people, your brand, your writing, and your speaking. You inspire people to learn, grow, and be the best version of themselves. You build businesses, write best-sellers, champion worthy causes, and gather huge audiences. You dream massive dreams and you achieve them.
Independent
Thinker
Most people follow the path of least resistance. You are not like most people. Others follow your lead. You zig when others zag. You eat challenge for breakfast. You pride yourself on your independence, work ethic, creative mind, and results. You are a trailblazer and non-conformist.
