Congratulations! Welcome to the esteemed Women Thrive Summit Stage You’re about to embark on a transformative speaking mastermind that will leave you with a strong understanding of what you can do to become a wellprepared, sought-after, and paid speaker.
When I set out to create this global platform for all women, I didn’t do it because I wanted the spotlight I did it because I knew that all women should have equal access to exposure opportunities, network building, and a group of supportive Summit alumni who have each other's back. This stage isn’t about competition. It’s about collaborating with a powerhouse group of women who have the same goals, missions, values, and dreams
“Being unapologetically yourself is the first step to unlock the power of being authentically you.”
As you read through this handbook, I invite you to sit down and think about your intentions of being a Women Thrive Summit Speaker. Are you ready to show up fully? Are you willing to leave your ego at the door, be in service of others, and come in with no thoughts of competition, but only the excitement to collaborate and uplift each other? Will you be accountable for meeting deadlines and developing your self-leadership as you navigate the unknown?
You’re about to enter a diverse community with different beliefs, backgrounds, expertise, stories, and more, so I encourage you to come with an open mind. See the opportunities you’ll have to handle situations with grace and lean into the uncomfortable parts of who you are during this journey.
Remember, you get out of this experience what you put in. I’ve seen the difference between speakers who only showed up to their Summit talk, and those who took the time to develop relationships, attend meetings, and work on their personal and professional lives. I encourage you to be present and take part in the many opportunities this Summit will provide you I can’t wait to work with you this year!
With Love, Raimonda x
“Let your wounds be your inspiration, your story be your motivation, and your voice be your secret weapon to inspire others.”
As we prepare for the Women Thrive Summit 2025, I wanted to take a moment to express my genuine excitement about the journey we’re about to embark on together Your involvement and sponsorship are vital to making this event a huge success, and I’m incredibly grateful for your participation
To ensure that our Summit is nothing short of amazing, we’ve put together a few guidelines that we kindly ask you to keep in mind These guidelines are meant to ensure that our time together is productive, engaging, and ultimately, impactful for all involved. Your cooperation and commitment to these expectations are greatly appreciated, and I’m confident that with your help, we’ll create an unforgettable experience for everyone involved.
We encourage speakers to bring their best selves to the Women Thrive Summit 2025, fostering an environment where vulnerability, sharing ideas, and growth are embraced Your unique perspectives and contributions are invaluable, and we invite you to fully engage in this collaborative space, striving for excellence in every aspect of your Summit journey.
We realize that participating in the Summit is a year-long commitment, and we understand that unexpected events may arise That’s why we’ve provided clear dates and deadlines within this handbook, allowing you to plan and communicate with us about any timing conflicts Open and timely communication is key to ensuring that we can work together to find solutions and maintain the integrity of the Summit.
Your proactive approach in keeping us informed of any scheduling conflicts or challenges will help us navigate these situations effectively and ensure a smooth and successful Summit experience
We highly advise speakers to participate in at least one call per month, as these meetings provide valuable opportunities for connection and collaboration, and to ask any questions. If you can’t attend live, we encourage you to watch the replays to stay informed and engaged with the speaker community.
These sessions foster relationships with fellow speakers and offer direct feedback and coaching from Raimonda, ensuring that you’re well-prepared to deliver an impactful presentation at the Summit
We understand that deadlines can sometimes feel arbitrary, but each one has a specific purpose, even if it’s not immediately apparent. Our team is comprised of dedicated members located across the globe, and meeting these deadlines allows us to work efficiently and effectively in delivering highquality content and resources to you.
By adhering to these deadlines, we can ensure that you receive deliverables on time, allowing for ample time to review and provide feedback
Additionally, meeting these deadlines provides us with a buffer period before the Summit This will give us time to address any last-minute issues or concerns that may arise and guarantee a seamless and successful event Your cooperation in meeting these deadlines is greatly appreciated and contributes significantly to the overall success of the Women Thrive Summit 2025 >>
I don’t take it for granted to receive such beautiful support and kindness from my community I pour my heart out into all that I do to support and empower others but never expect anything in return. I do it because that’s what I believe in, that’s what is in my heart. I live and breathe what I do. But to receive support and just acknowledgment that others share my mission and purpose in life
But it took time It took lots of learning, failing, and trying again It took lots of sacrifices, late nights and mindset shifts to get here. But being where I am today, I now know that the journey was necessary for me to be able to handle what I have on my plate today.
Keep focusing on those big goals, and take small actions every day In the end, the most beautiful journey consists of a thousand steps Make sure you enjoy the journey because the destination is actually a never-ending journey of growth
As the saying goes, “You get out what you put in,” This is the same for your participation in the Women Thrive Summit 2025.

“I know this is where empowerment, impact, and ripple effect begins when we begin to share our stories and own our truth.”
Your engagement in promoting the event not only benefits your own session but also enhances the collective experience for all attendees and speakers.
In a community like the Women Thrive Summit, professionalism takes a deeper significance It’s not just about adhering to standards of conduct; it’s about fostering an environment of respect, authenticity, and empowerment As a speaker, your commitment to professionalism means showing up as your true and authentic self - embracing your strengths, vulnerabilities, and unique perspectives
This space is where you can take off the mask, where you’re encouraged to be unapologetically yourself. By embodying professionalism in this way, you contribute to a culture of inclusivity and empowerment, where everyone feels valued, heard, and respected.
Your authenticity not only inspires others to do the same but also strengthens the bonds within our community. Together, we create a safe and supportive space where women can thrive, connect, and grow. Thank you for bringing your authentic self to our community! >>
As we navigate the dynamic and diverse landscape of the Summit, flexibility and adaptability are paramount Our team members are located around the world, spanning different time zones and cultural backgrounds This means that tasks and communication may sometimes take longer than anticipated, and that’s okay
We ask for your understanding and grace as we work together to deliver an outstanding Summit Your flexibility in accommodating these differences allows us to operate more seamlessly and effectively, ensuring that every aspect of the Summit runs smoothly
We want you to know that we’re here to support you every step of the way Please don't hesitate to reach out if you encounter any challenges or need assistance We’re all working toward the same goal - to help you shine and make the Women Thrive Summit 2025 the biggest one to date!

It’s important to note that these showcases are not about pitching Instead, they’re about positioning yourself authentically and building rapport with our audience Please do not pitch during a showcase event Stick to the allotted five (5) minutes to practice for the Summit and ensure the event runs smoothly Timeliness is key, as going over or under your time slot can impact the entire event
As we continue to onboard more speakers, we’ll add additional showcases to accommodate everyone These events are not only opportunities for you to shine but also to support and uplift your fellow speakers
Keep in mind that our audience is in their Netflix Era meaning they love a good replay So even if they can’t join live, your message will still reach them in their own time.

The path of Becoming IS Being, BE like the child, BE in the NOW, BE
- Marie Ferguson, ‘24 Speaker
You might be wondering, ‘Why do I need to fill out Upcoach AND create a media kit?’ A media kit serves as your brand’s digital portfolio, bringing together essential promotional materials for media outlets, event organizers, podcasters, etc. Including high-resolution headshots, a detailed bio, branding assets, social media links, website links, and other relevant information ensures a cohesive and collective professional representation of your brand.
Consider creating a dedicated Google Folder for your media kit to streamline accessibility and collaboration with the Women Thrive Summit team. Google Drive’s intuitive interface and real-time updates make it an ideal platform for managing and sharing your media assets. Please ensure that you set your Media Kit to “view” so that everyone on our team has access to your folder. If not, we may have to go hunting for the missing information which will take time off your promotion as well as leaving the possibility that you’ll not be happy with the team’s selection
Your media kit should encompass a range of elements to convey your brand identity and offerings effectively Essential components include 5-10 high-resolution headshots, a concise yet impactful bio, branding elements such as logos, fonts, colors, website, and social media links, as well as any other information relevant to your brand story and mission
Having a well-organized media kit can save you time and effort in the long run when you need to quickly put together promotional materials for events, interviews, or other opportunities So, when you create your media kit once, you simply need to update changing information later on By having your own media kit, you’re ensuring that the brand image you’ve created is consistent across all platforms
By having your own media kit, you’re ensuring that the brand image you’ve created is consistent across all platforms.
Offering a freebie or free gift is a powerful lead magnet that can attract and engage your audience Whether it’s a downloadable workbook, exclusive video content, or an audio download, providing a valuable resource incentivizes email sign-ups and fosters deeper connections with your audience We recommend that you create a dedicated landing page to capture email addresses and deliver the free gift within the first email This is a great way to start nurturing your leads into loyal customers over time
Think about when you see a post on Pinterest that looks really juicy and you want it! You click on the post and go to someone’s website where you enter your email You check your emails and BOOM it’s there sitting in your inbox. This is what we want to have happen for you! You want to be giving away an item but in return capturing their email so that you can enter them into your CRM. Think about how many emails you could have after the Women Thrive Summit! If you’d like to see some examples of past free gifts, check out Women Thrive’s lead magnets here.
By leveraging these strategies and resources, you’ll not only increase your visibility and credibility but also cultivate meaningful connections and opportunities for growth during your time as a Women Thrive Summit speaker.
Remember, it’s 1) create a lead magnet, 2) create a landing page for that lead magnet where you collect emails, 3) send an email with the free gift, 4) keep sending them valuable emails, and 5) turn that email subscriber into a loyal customer!
Your main offer is what you want attendees to purchase from you This is a great time to showcase your brand’s value proposition by providing a tangible solution or transformation to the attendee’s needs, challenges, or wants This could be access to your online course, your HowTo book, personalized 1:1 coaching, done-foryou services, etc Your main offer is the meat and potatoes of your expertise and is to help you stand out as the solution You can encourage email sign-ups and initiate their buyer's journey with your brand by strategically positioning your offer as a solution to the attendee’s pain point
Even when life gets tough, and sacrifices become real, and life throws curve balls at me, I just lean in and life reminds me why I continue doing this work.
Consider creating a dedicated landing page or optin form to capture email addresses and showcase the value of your main offer Showcase the benefits and outcomes your offer provides so that visitors want to take action and join your community, book their call, or whatever the desired outcome may be
Based on insights from past speakers and Summits, our audience resonates with main offers priced within the range of £500-£1,500 This price point strikes a balance between accessibility and perceived value, especially with our wide range of ticket holders. This really is the sweet spot for our attendees, and we’ve received the most feedback from speakers that they were able to convert more in this price range.
Our Exclusive Goodie Bag Offer is a digital vault of value-packed offerings, designed to enhance the Summit experience and provide tangible benefits to attendees. These Goodie Bag Offers can be anything from a lead magnet, to a discount code, or a free 15minute laser coaching session, etc. Your Goodie Bag Offer is a compelling incentive for Summit attendees to connect with you and your brand and take the next step in their journey with you
Your Goodie Bag Offer needs to be in a PDF format because we will house the Goodie Bag on Google Drive Include clickable links within your PDF to seamlessly guide attendees to your landing pages, booking forms, sale pages, or other conversion points There are many YouTube videos on how to create a PDF but we recommend using Canva and simply downloading the file as a PDF You can then upload the PDF into your Media Folder so that the Women Thrive Team can easily find it
You don’t have to contribute to the Goodie Bag, however, it not only amplifies your brand’s visibility but also positions you as a trusted resource and expert in the industry We encourage you to use this opportunity to make a lasting impression, foster connections, and inspire action among our attendees
We encourage you to add a booking link to your Upcoach as it will be added to the Goodie Bag. We use calendly.com for our scheduling, however there are many platforms that will connect to your calendar. Integrating a calendar link into the Goodie Bag will give you a direct line of communication with your leads and the Summit attendees.
You are more courageous than you know… Living in your Divine essence and in alignment takes courage. Speaking your truth takes courage to be unapologetically yourself.
It’s crucial to recognize the profound impact that each item - your media kit, freebie, main offer, Goodie Bag offer, and calendar link - can have on your overall success as a Women Thrive Summit speaker Your media kit is the basis for your digital portfolio where our team and media outlets can easily access all your details By investing time and effort into crafting a wellorganized and visually appealing media kit, you’re not only streamlining your promotional efforts but also elevating your brand’s visibility, credibility, and professionalism.
Your freebie holds epic potential as a powerful lead magnet. Entice our attendees with valuable content and nurture relationships with them through emails and funnels. This strategic approach not only cultivates a sense of goodwill (you offering something of value for free) but also positions you as a trusted source within your niche.

If there's one thing I've learned in my years of entrepreneurship, it's this: know thy audience Take the time to really understand who your HEARTYES client is – their wants, needs, pain points, and aspirations
The better you understand your audience intimately, the better you'll be able to serve them and meet their needs I come back to this every quarter to make sure I am speaking to their current problem they have now and what it looks like for them when it’s solved
In the world of online business, it's not enough to just be a great coach or practitioner– you need to have a compelling offer that stands out from the crowd. What makes your offer better at helping them achieve the solution they are looking for? What value can you add to make it an easy YES in the decision-making process? Whether it's a 1:1 coaching package, group program, or a valuepacked bundle, make sure your offers are valuebased and results-driven to make them irresistible to your HEART- YES client. Make note of what your clients are asking for and make sure you are helping them see the transformation they get by working with you
In a world where authenticity is increasingly rare, being genuine and transparent can set you apart from the competition Be honest about who you are, what you stand for, and what you can offer your audience Building trust comes from leading with generosity, value and being visible Don’t worry about making the perfect reel, post or video Just be yourself and share value to help your audience create wins And most importantly, be consistent Nothing breaks trust quicker than not showing up when you say you will >>
