Stop waiting. Start speaking.

Too many women dream of speaking on stages but never take the mic.

They're waiting to feel confident, have the perfect talk, or finally feel "ready."

Meanwhile, their message goes unheard.

She's Got the Mic Speakers Collective gives you the community, tools, and support to become a confident speaker, so you can share your message and grow your business from the stage.

You don't have to figure it out alone. 

You know speaking could grow your business, but finding the time, knowing where to start, and figuring it all out on your own can feel overwhelming.

She's Got the Mic Speakers Collective gives you a clear path with the tools, support, community, and speaking opportunities to help you build your talk, take the mic, and grow your business.

You bring the message. We'll help you take the mic.

Take The Mic

Meet The Founder: Lauren Chapnick

I've reinvented myself more than once, and every chapter has taught me the power of finding my voice.

I've spent years on stages as a professional performer, entrepreneur, and speaker, and along the way I discovered something that changed everything: confidence isn't something you wait for. It's something you build.

That's why I created She's Got the Mic Speakers Collective. I wanted to create the community I wish every woman had access to, one with a clear path, consistent opportunities to speak, expert guidance, and women who genuinely cheer each other on.

Because I believe every woman has a message worth sharing. Sometimes she just needs someone to hand her the mic.

I'm In

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Speaking opportunities are reserved for She’s Got the Mic Speakers Collective members.

Our stages are intentionally created for women who are part of the community, committed to growing as speakers, and ready to be supported through the process.

If you’d like to experience an event before joining, you’re welcome to purchase a Groupie Pass and attend as a guest.

She's Got the Mic is for women who want to use speaking to grow their business, increase their visibility, and make a bigger impact.

Our members include coaches, consultants, entrepreneurs, authors, healthcare professionals, financial advisors, attorneys, real estate professionals, nonprofit leaders, and women from many other industries.

Whether you're preparing for your very first talk or refining a keynote you've delivered for years, you'll find a supportive community that meets you where you are and helps you keep growing.

Every Speakers Collective event is intentionally designed to create a supportive, encouraging environment where women can grow as speakers.

Our audiences are a mix of She's Got the Mic Speakers Collective members and women from the community who purchase a Groupie Pass to experience an event, connect with other incredible women, and be inspired by the stories and expertise shared from the stage.

Whether you're speaking for the first time or refining your signature talk, you'll step onto a stage filled with women who are engaged, encouraging, and genuinely want to see you succeed.

Every Speakers Collective event is built around a unique theme that inspires the day, while our members share talks across a wide range of topics including business, wellness, leadership, finance, personal growth, and more.

No two events are exactly alike, but every event is intentionally designed to be an elevated, supportive experience where women take the mic, share their expertise, and cheer one another on.

Our events are held in beautiful, thoughtfully selected venues that create an inspiring atmosphere and provide the perfect backdrop for professional photos and video, included for members each time they take the stage.

We also build in plenty of time for meaningful conversation and connection because some of the best relationships are formed between the talks. And yes, we always eat! Food and drinks are included with your membership, so you can relax, connect, and enjoy the experience from beginning to end.

It's simple! Browse our upcoming events, click Apply to Speak, and complete the short application.

Most speaking opportunities are filled on a first-come, first-served basis, so we encourage members to apply as soon as new events are announced. You'll always be notified when new events are added.

As a Core Member, you're guaranteed two in-person speaking opportunities each year. As an Elite Member, you're guaranteed four.

Want to speak more often? You're welcome to apply for as many additional in-person speaking opportunities as you'd like. If space is available, we'd love to have you back on stage.

And don't forget, virtual speaking opportunities are unlimited for all members and are also filled on a first-come, first-served basis.

Absolutely!

Our Virtual Membership was created for women who want to grow as speakers from anywhere in the world.

As a member, you'll have access to The Members Vault, a growing library of recordings from our past in-person and virtual events, workshops, and trainings. You'll experience the inspiring talks, expert panels, and unforgettable moments long after each event ends.

You'll also enjoy weekly virtual speaking opportunities, expert workshops, and a supportive community that's always just a click away.

Absolutely! Virtual Members are welcome to apply for in-person speaking opportunities.

If you're selected to speak, you'll simply add on a $147 Stage Experience to reserve your speaking spot. This helps cover the professional photography and videography included for every in-person speaker.

It's the perfect option for members who primarily participate virtually but would like to experience the energy, community, and excitement of a live Speakers Collective event from time to time.

Not at all.

Many of our members join before they've ever stepped onto a stage. Others simply love attending our events, connecting with incredible women, and learning from the speakers.

Whether you're ready to take the mic now or just want to immerse yourself in a supportive community, you'll find a welcoming place here.

Think of it as networking with a purpose. Less pressure, more genuine connection, meaningful conversations, and plenty of fun along the way.

Perfect. Many of our members join before they've ever stepped onto a stage.

That's what makes She's Got the Mic so special. This is a supportive, judgment-free community where women encourage one another, celebrate every win, and grow together.

If you're starting from scratch or want help creating a signature talk, Build the Talk will guide you through the entire process, from clarifying your message to confidently delivering a talk you're proud to share.

You don't have to have it all figured out before you join. That's what we're here for.

 

Yes!

If space is available, you're welcome to purchase a Groupie Pass and experience a Speakers Collective event before joining.

It's the perfect way to meet our community, experience the energy of a live event, and see what She's Got the Mic is all about.

If you decide to become a member, you'll enjoy priority access to events along with all the additional membership benefits.

It depends on the event!

Speaking opportunities range from 5-minute Spotlight Talks to 10-minute TED-style talks and 15 to 20-minute Signature Talk opportunities.

Members who are currently enrolled in or have completed Build the Talk receive priority consideration for our longer Signature Talk spots, but all members are welcome to apply.

Whether you're testing a new story, refining a section of your keynote, or delivering a full signature talk, every speaking opportunity is designed to help you grow as a speaker while building your confidence, visibility, and speaker portfolio.

It depends on the event and venue.

Some speaking opportunities include the option to use slides, while others are designed to help you connect with the audience using only your voice and message.

If slides are available for your event, you'll know well in advance and receive guidelines for when to submit them. Slides are always optional and are never required.

Yes! It's your time on stage, and you're welcome to use notes if they help you feel more confident.

That said, we intentionally keep many of our speaking opportunities shorter to help you become deeply familiar with your material over time. The more comfortable you are with your talk, the more naturally you'll connect with your audience and the stronger your presence will be on stage and on camera.

Our goal isn't perfection. It's helping you become a more confident, compelling speaker every time you take the mic.

Everything you need to grow as a speaker, no matter where you are in the world.
