Every CEO Should Speak on Stage—and That Monthly
A CEO’s role goes far beyond running the day-to-day operations of a business. Two of the most critical responsibilities are representing the organization externally and nurturing its people internally. In this episode of The Daily Hint, we focus on the first role and explore why speaking on stage monthly is essential for every CEO.
Main Takeaways:
1. Representation Through Public Speaking
Public speaking is one of the most powerful ways for CEOs to build the credibility of their business while also showcasing their personal expertise. Speaking at events, conferences, and industry forums exposes your business to potential clients, collaborators, and industry peers.
2. The Value of Consistency
A single speaking engagement can be impactful, but making it a monthly habit ensures ongoing visibility and influence. Consistency helps position you as a thought leader and keeps your business top-of-mind in your industry.
3. The Need for a Speaking Funnel
Every CEO should have a system to secure speaking opportunities. This includes having a personal website with a dedicated speaking page, detailing your expertise, topics you cover, and previous engagements. This makes it easy for PR and marketing teams to promote you and book you for events.
4. Why This Matters for Business Growth
When a CEO takes the stage, it doesn’t just reflect on them—it elevates the entire organization. Public speaking creates opportunities to connect with potential clients, build strategic partnerships, and reinforce your company’s reputation in the marketplace.
Speaking on stage monthly isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s a strategic priority for CEOs looking to grow their business and expand their influence. If you don’t yet have a speaking funnel in place, it’s time to create one. Tune in to this episode of The Daily Hint to learn how to get started and why this strategy can transform your leadership journey.

Are you speaking on stage at least monthly as a CEO? No, you have to change that. I believe there are two essential roles of a CEO. Number one is representation and presentation of the business in the external world. And number two is taking care of the people inside of the organization so that the organization is growing long term.
Let's talk about the representation. Every CEO should be on stage monthly to be exposed you to other CEOs, other companies, potential clients, and show the credibility of the business and the personal credibility. So every CEO should have a speaking funnel and a speaking page on their personal website so that the PR and the marketing team can book them for speaking gigs.
So that we as CEOs are representing the business on larger scales. If you're not there yet, contact me and I will help you to get there.
