 DR. SHADÉ HAS BEEN FEATURED

DON'T MISS THIS POWERFUL CONFERENCE






READ THIS IF YOU’RE DONE SHRINKING YOUR VOICE AND SECOND-GUESSING YOUR BRAND.

There’s a version of you that people keep describing like this:

“Girl… you’re so talented.”
 “You’re so smart.”
 “You should be on bigger stages.”
 “You should charge more.”
 “You’re really the one.”

But then… the opportunities don’t match the compliments.

And it’s not because you aren’t qualified.

It’s because you’ve been trying to build a brand on top of a message that’s not fully formed.

You’ve been posting—without positioning.
 You’ve been going live—without language.
 You’ve been offering—without clarity.

So your audience feels you… but they don’t understand you. And confusion never converts.

Speaker’s Edition is the room where we fix that.

This is where you stop hiding in your credentials and start showing up in your power.

This is Your Step-by-step Blueprint

to transform your brilliance into a 6-figure brand

You will walk away with your brand launched, grown, or scaled so you can start seeing tangible results even before you leave the room.

YOU DON’T NEED MORE CONTENT. 

YOU NEED A MESSAGE THAT HITS. 

 Because the truth is: 

  • The algorithm isn’t holding you back.
  • Your audience isn’t “broke.”
  • You don’t need another Canva template.
You need to be able to say what you do in a way that makes the right people respond with:

Where do I pay?”
 “How do I work with you?”
 “Can you speak to my group?”
 “Can I hire you?

That’s what happens when your message is clear and your brand is built around it.

Masquerade Party
WEAR YOUR FAVORITE MASK!

This Is Not Your Hands-on Accelerator

NOT A “HOPE IT WORKS” CONFERENCE

Let me be clear:
 You are not coming to sit in a room for three days and leave with “notes.”

You are coming to build.
To workshop.
 To write.
 To practice.
 To refine.
 To finish.

  This is get-your-work-done energy.  

You will walk out of Raleigh with your speaker brand and marketing foundation built—and a plan you can execute immediately.
When you’re in the room, I’ll personally show you how to:
  • Gain immense clarity to know what to focus on and when
  • Tap into your higher self and serve your clients on a whole new level
  • Build the life you desire and deserve without second guessing ANYTHING
  • ​​Grow your 6-figure personal brand to create great impact, transform lives, and leave a MASSIVE footprint on the world

The Urgency

(READ THIS TWICE)

Now is the time.

Not later.
 Not “when I feel more confident.”
 Not “when I lose weight.”
 Not “when I fix my website.”
 Not “after the kids get older.”

Because here’s what happens when you delay:

You stay brilliant… but overlooked.
 You stay valuable… but underpaid.
 You stay called… but quiet.

Your voice matters.
And your business can’t grow in silence.
This is the final Big Deal Conference.
 If you’ve ever wanted to be in the room… it’s now.

WHO IS THIS FOR?

This accelerator is for:
  • experts, entrepreneurs, leaders
  • coaches, consultants, authors, creators
  • ​women building personal brands
  • ​speakers (or future speakers) who want their voice to open doors
If you desire to be the go-to expert in your niche…
 If you know you have the expertise but you need the game plan…

 This room is for you.

HERE’S A SNEAK PEEK OF WHAT YOU’LL LEARN DURING THIS

      Besides having the privilege of tapping into the brains of some of the most highly respected speakers and entrepreneurs offline, you’re going to enjoy TONS of hands-on learning. This isn’t some stuffy conference where we just sit around, eyes squinting at a PowerPoint on the screen, taking notes on theories of how to grow your business and build a profitable platform.

      This no-fluff 2.5-day intensive is all about implementation, not just learning. You’ll be able to test and try the strategies you’re learning LIVE and in-person during the event. The best part is, you’ll have the support and expertise of a room full of like-minded entrepreneurs to help you succeed.

      IF YOU ARE READING THIS

A special gift that only you can give…And there are thousands of people out there praying for the solution that you have to offer right now! That’s why being a BOLD and empowered entrepreneur isn’t just about building your 6 figure business it's about stepping up, showing up, and meeting the needs of those you have the power to today.

      SO, IF YOU'RE SERIOUS ABOUT

      Getting known as a standout coach, author, speaker, or thought leader…
