Wow! I just 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 our businesses by strategically outsourcing work that is not our core area of expertise.

It’s clear she understands our industry! My favorite thing she said was, “There is no one perfect system.”

As a transformational speaker, I was honored to be invited to audit Regina’s Speaker Virtual Assistants Academy course. I cannot recommend this course highly enough! The content was rich with insights and went far beyond expectations. The material was both engaging and practical, making it easy to apply. What truly sets this program apart, however, is the instructor. Not only does Regina deliver on what is promised, she consistently went above and beyond to ensure that every student fully understood the material. She went even further with the level of accessibility and support she offers beyond the scheduled class times. The experience was exceptional, and quite rare, in that this was not a “cattle-call” online course for however many want to register. Regina restricted the number of participants to support everyone’s success and her availability to accommodate us. We always felt supported, whether through quick responses to questions or the willingness to dive deeper to ensure we were grasping the material. Knowing Regina, her wealth of knowledge as it relates to business, the needs of professional speakers, attention to detail and the technology needed to best support the business of highly successful, professional speakers, I definitely had high expectations of the course. This course exceeded my expectations in every way, and I’m incredibly grateful for the experience!" Though I have been a professional speaker for a while, I am relatively new to building a business as a professional speaker. I would be remiss if I didn’t also share that, though Regina is promoting this program for individuals interested in providing a range of support to professional speakers. If you are a speaker who is challenged to figure out and put in place the backend processes for operating as a business, you could very easily benefit from enrolling in this program, minimally, you would benefit from a conversation with Regina.

Regina Baker’s class on working with public speakers was exactly what I needed to take my skills to the next level. Her teaching style is clear, engaging, and filled with real-world insights. She showed us how to effectively engage with speaker bureaus, communicate with them over the phone, and read speaker contracts with confidence. Regina also introduced us to essential tools like eSpeakers, Talkadot, Speakerflow, and Zoho, making sure we’re fully equipped to be the go-to person for our speakers. This class is a must for anyone serious about supporting public speakers!" I truly enjoyed your class as always. I LOVE your teaching style.

I learned the difference between a speaker agent and a speaker manager. The conversation was eye-opening in the best way. Regina was very personable and easy to talk with, and she provided me with honest feedback on the industry as a whole. From her, I learned the differences between a speaker agent and a speaker manager, compensation for services, and the criteria I should look for in potential speaker clients. She answered all of my questions and beyond. Most importantly, the conversation with Regina helped me gain confidence in starting my own business based on my own knowledge and experience in the association world. Today, I feel more prepared to take the next step.

As someone who supports authors who are often also speakers, I was excited to learn a new way to help them share their message through speaking. Regina’s program provided a framework that clarified the specific needs of professional speakers and the logistics involved in supporting them effectively. The content gave me a better understanding of the speaking industry, including the systems and processes that keep everything running smoothly. What I appreciated most was the homework—it encouraged me to start applying the concepts right away. I’m someone who learns best through real-world implementation, so I’m excited to take what I’ve learned and practice it in my work. Overall, this program gave me insight into areas where I can grow and expand my skills. It’s motivated me to keep learning and improving by doing the work, and I can't wait to see how these new tools will help me better support my clients over time.
