2027 Speaking Pipeline Accelerator
Build Your 2027 Speaking Pipeline With Me.
A 12-month, hands-on program combining AI StageFinder, personalized opportunity research, positioning and outreach strategy, and a private strategy session with me every month.
Finding opportunities is rarely the real problem. The challenge is knowing which ones deserve your attention, how to position yourself and what to say to the decision-maker—consistently, all year.

The outcome
This Isn’t About Finding More Opportunities. It’s About Pursuing the Right Ones.
The goal is a repeatable speaking-business development system—not another folder full of leads you never contact.
You’ll leave the initial setup knowing:
- which markets and audiences to prioritize
- which two or three programs have the strongest opportunity
- what types of events deserve your attention
- how to identify and approach the right decision-makers
- how to personalize outreach instead of sending generic pitches
- how to use AI StageFinder and improve your pipeline throughout 2027
Technology + strategy + accountability
Everything needed to build—and keep building—your pipeline.
We begin with focus, build the first real pipeline together and use monthly strategy to keep improving the system.
Market & positioning strategy
Identify the associations, conferences and organizations most likely to hire you, then sharpen two or three market-ready programs.
Your first 50 best-fit opportunities
Build an initial pipeline based on fit and likelihood—not a giant, generic list that creates more work.
Personalized outreach strategy
Develop relevant angles and messaging that connect your expertise to each organization’s real priorities.
Automated opportunity monitoring
Configure AI StageFinder to continuously research new opportunities matched to your profile and programs.
Initial 60-minute strategy session
Establish your positioning, target markets, priorities and first prospecting plan privately with Aidan.
90-day pipeline review
Evaluate activity, responses and opportunities after the first quarter, then adjust the strategy around what the market is telling us.
12 months of AI StageFinder
Full platform access throughout the program for continuous opportunity research and stronger outreach preparation.
12 months of Speaking Business Club
Additional training, resources, community and accountability for the business behind your speaking.
Highest-value component
12 monthly private strategy sessions
Bring current opportunities, outreach challenges, proposals, positioning questions or pipeline issues to one private 30-minute session with Aidan every month.
Speaking-business development—not technical support.1
The economics
One Booking Could Pay for the Entire Program.
For a professional speaker charging $5,000, $7,500, $10,000 or more, one additional booking could cover the $2,997 investment.
The bigger objective is not one booking. It is a repeatable system for identifying and pursuing the right opportunities throughout 2027. No speaking engagement or income is guaranteed.
Built for active professionals
This program is designed for speakers who…
- already have professional speaking experience
- have one or more established speaking programs
- want more paid speaking opportunities
- struggle to maintain a consistent prospecting process
- want help deciding which opportunities deserve attention
- value personalized strategy more than another software tool
- are willing to pursue opportunities and follow up
