Meet Jane Atkinson

SURVIVING INFORMATION OVERLOAD IN THE SPEAKING INDUSTRY IS A RITE OF PASSAGE FOR THOSE NEW TO THE FIELD.

Many drown in it... others acquire the focus that drowns it out.

When you habitually change your approach, your plan, your agenda, your message, you’re always between the action. Never in it and never getting far.

 

When you sprinkle your money around, lose portions, and cut corners on what it takes to make a dream, you prove you’re unwilling to invest in your own expansion.

I’m packing thirty years of contacts, connections, and experience developing speakers from newcomer to sought-after pro in my career, so I’ve observed what makes or breaks them.

It all comes down to commitment.

 

Which begs the question – to whom or what are you devoted?

 

I’ve worked my entire life. At twenty-five, I peered up the corporate ladder and confirmed I didn’t want that climb. My oldest brother had awakened the entrepreneur in me long before that, so when I encountered a video by Les Brown preaching that you couldn’t coast through life, but instead had to take responsibility for it…

 

He echoed back to me something I already knew while introducing me to something I didn’t – that professional speaking was an industry.

 

And I belonged in it.

Over the years, I’ve devoted myself to my clients’ successes.


When my brother died, I devoted myself to acting on my goals, not just planning for them.


When I got married, I devoted myself to our new family, my three grandkids and counting.

Daily, I devote myself to clarifying my client’s messages. Shoring up their confidence. Strengthening their income flow. Hushing the chatter around them. Teaching them to focus and do the same.

 

Empowering them to build, not just a business, but the business of their dreams.

Because when we figure out where your devotion lies…everything else is just noise.

“Since hiring Jane, my speaking business has transformed. After ten months of her coaching program, I have been hired by clients like FedEx, Mattel, Hyundai Capital, and so many others. Her books, coaching calls, and Accelerate Live coaching weekend have enabled me to follow my passion and turn my expertise into a fast-growing, profitable speaking business.

I had a terrific speaking business pre-Jane, but working with her allowed me to see opportunities that I otherwise would have missed. I have a better understanding of how to work with agents and bureaus and how to keep my pipeline full using assets that I already have.

"It’s getting harder and harder to know which coach is right to choose. But Jane was bang on perfect for me. In this profession there are lots of “shiny baubles” and it’s critical to pick what is right for you. Jane quickly established what I needed to be more successful. She helped me sift through the long list of ideas to market and grow my business and determine what was best for me. There was no b.s. and no “this is the only way to do it”. I’ve seen my business become more focused and profitable as a result."
MARTIN PARNELLAuthor, Marathon Quest
MARTIN PARNELL
“I’ve been in the speaking business for 30 years and people come and go. Jane Atkinson ‘gets it’. She is the best speaking career coach in the business. I’m not saying she’s one of the best. I’m saying she’s the best, period.”
JOE CALLOWAYAuthor of “Becoming a Category of One”

“Whenever speakers ask me how to get started in the business, I tell them “you can either do it yourself the slow, old-fashioned way, or you can hire Jane Atkinson and do it faster and with less expense”.
VINCE POSCENTEAuthor, The Age of Speed
VINCE POSCENTE
"When I hired Jane, my business was just a few months old and I'll admit, it was a big investment. However, within 6 months I raised my fee twice, hired help and now continuously pinch myself that my dream of becoming a speaker came true so quickly, much in part to Jane's generous wisdom and guidance."
