Client A: I can’t think of anything. Our clients were really happy. They especially liked <she went into detail about my program>. And my goodness, Regina, was amazing to work with.

Client B: Yes! Regina was on top of it! She was so detailed and made sure everything was in place. On a side note, we’ve been talking with the team, and we want to bring you in for internal training…

For my friends who are interested in becoming a professional speaker, this is why it is not enough to just be good on stage. A successful professional speaking business is founded on processes, systems (to support those processes), and strong people in supporting positions. Regina was simply working the systems we had in place. 😉Thanks, Regina Baker! ❤️ – Crystal Washington

Working with Regina Baker has truly been a game-changer for our business and for me personally as a leader. Not only has she provided thoughtful consulting support, but members of my team have also participated in her workshops, and the impact has been immediate, lasting, and deeply meaningful.

Regina has a rare gift for bringing calm to chaos. She can take processes that feel overwhelming or disconnected and turn them into systems that are clear, streamlined, and sustainable. Because of her work, our business runs more smoothly, our team operates with greater confidence, and we’ve been able to focus more energy on growth instead of constantly putting out fires.

What makes Regina so special is that she doesn’t just teach systems, she genuinely cares about the people behind the business. You can feel her investment in your success in every interaction. Her guidance has helped us create not just better workflows, but a stronger foundation for how we work together as a team.

I’m incredibly grateful for her expertise, generosity, and support, and I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking to build a business that runs with more ease, clarity, and intention.

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.”

Student Testimonials

Regina has been absolutely invaluable. She helped me put the right structure, systems, and processes in place to manage Owen Fitzpatrick’s speaking business at a much higher level. Her guidance has been clear, strategic, practical, and incredibly insightful.
 
What stands out most is that she understands not just the operations side, but the importance of creating a premium, white-glove client experience from the very first touchpoint. Her support has helped us become more organized,  professional, and much more intentional in how we manage speaker inquiries, client communication, and the overall event experience. – Sandra Pou, Program Director for Owen Fitzpatrick
As a transformational speaker, I was honored to be invited to audit Regina's Speaker Virtual Assistants Academy course. What truly sets this program apart, however, is the instructor. 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. 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... 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.

A little background on me — I was introduced to the speaker world about two years ago, and at the time, I had no idea how it worked. Thankfully, John signed me up for Regina’s class, which turned out to be a game-changer. This is not your typical class. It’s very participant-driven, and Regina is incredibly flexible. She truly is a goddess of the speaker world! The course covers everything—from handling client and bureau inquiries, understanding step-by-step processes, and using proper communication, to learning the importance of building strong relationships. No matter what questions you have, Regina takes the time to answer them thoroughly and ensures you’re never left in the dark. She also offers one-on-one chats, which are invaluable. One of the biggest takeaways for me was the confidence I gained. By the end of the class, I felt much more comfortable navigating the speaker industry. Regina also provides customizable templates and helps you get familiar with CRM platforms like eSpeakers or Zoho, depending on what you use. It was truly one of the best classes I’ve ever taken. I walked away with confidence and a solid knowledge base that I’ll carry with me throughout my career.

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.

Conference Testimonials

I promised to share some insight from the Global Power Virtual Assistants Conference I recently attended, and even though I’ve been caught up with work, I can’t let this moment pass without putting this down. To be honest, when I registered, I thought it would be like every other VA training I’ve come across. But this was nothing like the usual. It was INTENTIONAL, RAW, packed with real, unfiltered VALUE . The speakers poured their hearts knowledge, and years of experience into us, and I left with so much to REFLECT ON. I left this conference with my mindset expanded, my confidence renewed, and my next steps clear. Grateful to every speaker for the value they poured into us. Most importantly, grateful to Regina Baker for creating such an impactful space for growth. I look forward to the next event.

I'm still basking in the euphoria of the Global Power Virtual Assistants Virtual Conference and honestly, I'm not coming down anytime soon. Two full days of mind-shifting, soul-nourishing, strategy-packed brilliance, and I’m still trying to process it all. From the very first session, it was clear this wasn’t just another conference. It was intentional. It was authentic. It was transformational. Every speaker brought their whole self, their wisdom, their truth, and it resonated deeply. I'm still here in deep gratitude. Regina, thank you for the vision, the leadership, and the heart you poured into every part of this event. To every speaker, thank you for showing up with such generosity and clarity. Your words landed. Your impact is lasting. To every attendee, thank you for making this more than just a conference. Thank you for the chat conversations, the questions, the laughter, and the energy. We built something real. We built a community.
