The Monthly Advisory Group

One speaker told me he lost $30,000 before we started working together.

He wasn't bad at speaking. He was guessing at everything else. For seven months, ten speakers get to stop guessing. One call a month. Bring the decision you're stuck on and I'll tell you what I'd do.

You already know how to speak. That was never the problem. Guessing about everything else is the expensive part.

Guessing is the expensive part

None of that is a talent problem. All of it is a systems problem. Systems problems are cheap to fix and expensive to ignore, and most speakers ignore them for years because nobody ever showed them what the fix looks like.

This is a room where you don't have to figure it out alone.

Regina is very likely the best business manager in the speaking business. In the ten years we've been together, she has helped grow my business beyond what I thought was possible.

Why me

I've been in business since 2004 and in the speaking industry since 2015. Three Hall of Fame speakers have said my name from an acceptance stage. None of them held that designation before we started working together.

I'm not telling you that so you'll be impressed. I'm telling you so you know I've seen what the top of this industry actually requires, and it isn't what the people selling courses are telling you it is.

Here's what I've watched for twenty years. Speakers get desperate for opportunities, and the people selling to desperate speakers do very well.

There's no magic wand. There's no secret list. If I had one, I'd be taking commissions on it instead of accolades.

What there is: structure. Processes that run whether you're having a good month or a hard one. A team that knows what to do without asking you first. Nobody's running ads about that, because it doesn't sell like a shortcut. It's also the only thing I've watched separate speakers who get booked from speakers who build businesses.

I'll give you my input; I'll share my thoughts. Remember, I'm not here to convince you. What I share are proven principles that work!

What you get

One live call a month for seven months, and the last month you get me to yourself.

You send me your question before the call. I answer it out loud, in front of nine other speakers who are probably stuck on something similar. Then the floor opens and we keep going until the questions run out.

Every call ends the same way. You name one decision you're making before we meet again, and I give you a fast yes, no, or adjust. You leave with something to do, not something to think about.

Miss a call and you watch the recording. Submit your question anyway and I'll still answer it.

Month seven

The last month is yours

The group call runs like every other month. Then you get a private hour with me. Just the two of us, no docket, no sharing the clock, whatever you want to put on the table. Seven group calls and one private call, for every person in the room.

The cap

Why ten

Because I can't do this well with forty. Ten people means your question gets answered the month you ask it. Ten means I remember what you said in February when you bring it up in May. Ten means this is a room, not an audience.

What it looks like on the other sideSpeakers, and the people who run their businesses

Working with Regina has truly been a game-changer for our business and for me personally as a leader. She has a rare gift for bringing calm to chaos, turning processes that feel overwhelming into systems that are clear, streamlined, and sustainable. She doesn't just teach systems, she genuinely cares about the people behind the business.

Regina provides the structure and processes speakers need to thrive. I recouped my investment in two sessions. Need help with structure and process? Look no further.

Regina helped me put the right structure, systems, and processes in place to manage Owen Fitzpatrick's speaking business at a much higher level. She understands not just the operations side, but the importance of a premium, white-glove client experience from the very first touchpoint.

Sometimes it's hard to put into words what someone means for your business. This is how I feel about Regina Baker. Before working with her, my business was a mess. I think I lost $30,000 in opportunities because I was disorganized with no systems and poor customer service. However, with Regina, my business and brand have excelled to exponential growth. What makes Regina more special is that I get to work with someone that shares my values of service, empowerment, justice, and legacy.

Who belongs here

This is for you if

  • You're getting booked and can't keep up with your own backend
  • You're about to hire, or you hired wrong and need to fix it
  • You keep getting pitched programs and want somebody honest to look before you buy
  • You have a team and need them pulling the same direction

This is not for you if

  • You're looking for booking leads. I don't have them and I wouldn't give them to you.
  • You want the work done for you. This is advice, not delivery.
  • You can't commit seven months. The backend doesn't turn around in thirty days.
  • You already know. You'll be bored and I'll be annoyed.

Will your question actually get answered?

Yes, and here's the math that makes it true. Ninety minutes, ten people, questions submitted 72 hours ahead so I come in prepared instead of thinking out loud on your dime. The docket goes out the day before, so you know your question made the list and roughly when it's coming.

0 to 3

I read the docket out loud

So you know what's coming and roughly when your turn lands.

3 to 63

The docket

Your submitted questions, answered in order and grouped by theme.

63 to 85

Follow-ups and live questions

Push back on an answer, follow a thread somebody else opened, or ask the thing you didn't want to type into a form. The hot seat lands here when somebody claims one.

85 to 90

The round

One decision each, and my fast read on it. You leave with an action.

The hot seat is twelve minutes where I stop answering and start working. One per call. Anyone who hasn't had one yet goes ahead of anyone who has. Bring a real decision with real numbers and send me any document a day early.

What it costs

The Monthly Advisory Group
$1,750 for the seven months

Or two payments of $875, the second charged 30 days later.

That's eight calls with me. Seven of them live with your questions answered in order, and one of them just you. Divide it however you want.

This is the least expensive way to get my eyes on your decisions, and for a lot of speakers it's all they need until their revenue says otherwise.

  • Seven months. December 2026 through June 2027.
  • This is a commitment, not a subscription. There's no cancel button at month two, and payments are non-refundable. I'm telling you that here, before you pay anything, because seven months is how long it takes for backend decisions to show up in your revenue.
  • Recordings are posted within 48 hours and stay available through June.
  • Ten seats, and they don't reopen mid-term. We start together in December and we finish together in June.

Questions people ask first

What if I don't know what to ask?

Then say that, and tell me what's bothering you. Half of this work is turning "something's off and I can't name it" into a question with an answer. That's the job.

What if I miss a call?

It's recorded and posted within 48 hours. Submit your question anyway and watch the answer.

Can my VA or assistant come?

Yes, and I'd encourage it. One seat, two people on the call. Half of what you'll want to change is something your assistant has to execute, so bring her.

Is this coaching or consulting?

Group advisory. I'm answering your questions and working through your decisions with you. I'm not building anything for you and I'm not managing anything.

What if I need more than a monthly call?

Then you need private consulting, and I'll tell you so. This is where a lot of people start, and it's enough for most of them longer than they expect.

Why does enrollment close?

Because we start together. A person joining in March has missed three months of context, and the room gets worse, not better.

What happens in July?

A new group of ten. Get on the list from this page and you'll hear first.

Enrollment closes Friday, December 4

Ten seats, and I won't add an eleventh. If this is yours, take it. If it isn't, don't, and I mean that. I'd rather have five people who belong here than ten who talked themselves into it.
