Regina's programs, in-person or virtual, are sitting on the runway, ready for takeoff. She has been on stages all over the U.S. since 2004, teaching proven principles that are sustainable and scalable.
An Expert Hour with Regina Baker-Chenier, a Business Systems Consultant for Professional Speakers, unveiling the most effective and often overlooked tools for exceptional business growth. Discover how to implement profitable systems and administrative processes that transform your speaking career, whether you're a novice or a seasoned veteran.
Ask ten speakers how they set their fee and nine will give you somebody else's number. A number you got from somebody else will not hold up the first time a buyer pushes back.
Regina Baker-Chenier helps attendees understand the power of knowing their numbers and making those numbers match their income goals, because they do not automatically match. From there you build a rate card your whole team can quote from, learn how concessions make up the difference in price and what to offer as one, and see exactly what belongs in a simple contract and invoice so travel, recording, photography, and payment terms are handled long before you pack a bag.
No formulas pulled out of thin air. No guessing on the phone.

Building Speaker Infrastructure | Systems • Structure • Strategy
Unleashing the Power of Systems and Delegation for a Profitable Speaking Business. A clear understanding of the most powerful tips and resources for profitable admin systems.
An interview on growing your business by strategically outsourcing work that is not your core expertise. Favorite line from the room: there is no one perfect system.
My passion is to teach proven principles that work, and are sustainable and scalable.
“Regina knows her stuff! I recently attended one of her sessions on systems for professional speakers, and it was packed with valuable insights and practical strategies for becoming a more successful speaker and delivering results. She truly understands how to build effective systems that help speakers streamline their processes, grow their businesses, and reach the next level. I highly recommend learning from her!”
“Regina met me exactly where I was. I’d done the research on building a paid speaking business; fee architecture, packaging, the backend systems... but it was still theory. Her First 90 Days framework turned it into an operating cadence: Audit, Document, Delegate, with gut-check diagnostics that showed me precisely where my operation would leak under real volume. Her coverage-authority-representation test for hiring an ops lead completely reframed how I’m structuring the Director of Speaker Relations role. You can feel the ten years she spent building Crystal Washington’s backend in every page. Regina doesn’t trade in motivation; she builds infrastructure. It was exactly what I needed, exactly when I needed it.”
“Now I know why Regina is known as “The Speaker’s Whisperer!” Regina delivered an outstanding presentation to NSA Houston, and she did not disappoint! Regina challenged us to get our houses in order, and she backed it up with practical tips, tools, and strategies to help us build the infrastructure we need to grow and succeed as speakers. She knows her stuff, and more importantly, she knows how to help others put that knowledge to work.”
“I had the opportunity to interview Regina for the National Speakers Association NYC Chapter Master Class, and she shared information that will help us all grow by strategically outsourcing work that is not our core expertise. My favorite thing she said: there is no one perfect system.”
