Feeling Strong Speaker Academy is a comprehensive training program for current or aspiring youth speakers who want to learn how to make a living and a difference in the education market.

This is a business course, which means that we will teach you how to make money selling your school assembly presentation.

There are over 160,000 public schools in North America and most of them have continued the longstanding tradition of hiring motivational speakers to present school assemblies to their students. This industry is a lucrative niche with opportunities that expand into professional development training, consulting, and leadership development. We help speakers break into the market by teaching them how to present school assemblies with world-class resilience education.

The beginning youth speaker typically books a single speaking engagement in the range of $2,000 - $4,000. We will go into great detail about the price points that we have discovered work the best. Many of our speakers book in the range of $5,000 - $7,000 per day of speaking in person.

We also see a lot of "virtual" engagements that book at $1,000 per presentation. We will discuss how we do this as well.

In addition to earning in speaking engagements, we offer our speakers the opportunity to "upsell" schools into our Feeling Strong Lesson Library which is valued at $2,000 per school. Our speakers also sell parents into our Raise Them Strong parent program. All affiliate sales payout a 50% commission.

So yes, if you can speak well and do your due diligence to market yourself to schools, you will make your investment back. We offer no guarantees and your success is entirely up to your ability to implement what you learn from us.

No. We are not an agency. We simply provide our hard-earned wisdom on how to make a living and a difference by speaking to students in schools. Your success is 100% in your hands. We are rooting for you but we do not put ourselves in a position to be responsible for your earnings. There are many speaker training schools online and we don't know of any that guarantee you speaking engagements. If you want to learn what we do, this is the academy for you. If you need someone to book you, we are not a good fit for you.

We really want you there LIVE and in-person (virtually), but we totally understand if something comes up. That is why we are recording every minute of the training so you don't miss a thing. You will have access to these recordings for life. So even if you want to purchase and go through the material at a later date, that's fine. Please note; however, you will not be able to interact with us if you don't attend the live training.
