Within weeks of completing the How to Get the Gig course I have secured three paying speaking gigs, two being keynotes at conferences that are my ideal target market. These opportunities came from me taking immediate action during the course and implementing the strategies Juanita taught us. I am incredibly grateful that I had the opportunity to do the course and learn from Juanita’s wealth of knowledge.

What this course gives you is profound and worth the investment several times over. Despite being a CEO and presenting to hundreds of people throughout my career, I’d never thought of myself as a speaker until I completed Juanita’s How to Get the Gig course.
I can now confidently say that I am a speaker. I have a succinct speaker bio that says everything it needs to say about who I am; I understand my positioning as an expert due to my lived experience. And I also know precisely what I will talk about and which conferences I want to speak at. I hope everyone interested in becoming a speaker jumps on board, does the course and gets as much out of it as I did.

FAQ
Frequently Asked
There are six lessons, each with a Full & Frank video lesson (10-20 minutes) and an accompanying workbook that walks you step-by-step through the process, so you can turn what you learned in the lesson into your own practical resources for landing your dream speaking gigs.
The course is on-demand and self-paced. You have access for a full year, but most people complete it within the first month if not the first weekend. I typically recommend people set aside an hour a lesson, though times will vary from person to person.
Absolutely. My learning platform tracks your progress as you make your way through the course, and lets me know when you’re done – so I can send you a certificate for your resume and LinkedIn profile. (I also do a celebratory lounge room dance for every graduation).
Absolutely. Several much-loved students asked for it, so from May 2024 I now include access to live monthly Q&A group video calls. They last for one hour, and are held in the first week of each month (please check your local times):
- Pacific Time (LA, USA) – Monday 4pm
- Eastern Time (NY, USA) – Monday 7pm
- AEST (Brisbane, Australia) – Tuesday 9am
You can send questions in advance, or simply raise your (virtual) hand during the call. I will record the session, and it will be available for current students to access until the next month’s Q&A. You will only be able to access it via your Library on my secure learning platform at https://learning.fullandfrank.com/library
And because I want all our students to benefit (including those who asked me to introduce it), I have extended it to everyone who has previously purchased How to Get the Gig, for 12 months, at no extra cost. Check your Full & Frank Library for details.
If at any time we have a collection of people enrolled in the course who would attend one (or more) Q&A sessions in a GMT-time-zone-friendly time, I’ll make it happen. The same applies to any other time zone where the standard time for the Q&A call is in the middle of the night for them.
Until then, you can send questions in advance and I can answer them during the sessions for you, and you can watch the replays. You can also fast-track a mini-cohort by encouraging friends and colleagues to do the course with you.
All your Full & Frank products can be found in your Course Library at https://learning.fullandfrank.com/library

It is up to you, but I highly recommend people start with the ‘How to Get the Gig‘ course, whether they’re just getting started in public speaking or have been doing it for years, and need to revisit the strategic essentials.
The course provides comprehensive self-paced learning and is jam-packed with expert insights and practical tips and strategies. It also comes with a live monthly group Q&A session, so you can jump online and ask questions.
Having said that, if you prefer, or you’re looking for highly personalised guidance, goal setting, script development and feedback, you might be ready for a one-on-one coaching session.
The short answer is yes. I know How to Get the Gig will give you the knowledge and tools you need to land speaking gigs. But, if, for some reason, after your first two completed lessons, it doesn’t feel like a fit, email me, and I will give you a full refund.
Here’s how it works: Complete the first two lessons. If you don’t feel confident and motivated by your future ability to book gigs based on the information you’ve gained, reach out to [email protected], show me you’ve put in the work and completed the worksheets for the first two lessons, and I’ll refund your investment.
No refunds are available after 14 days.
Start your new future now.
The road to landing your dream speaking gigs is just a click away.
