My guest is Mia Voss, who is a speaker, emcee, and brand ambassador, and we have a lot of fun – and we get real about things like gender pay parity for speakers – during this interview.
We talk about:
- How Mia seems like an unlikely speaker because of what happened to her in her 20s
- The work Mia does as an emcee and panel moderator
- Getting paid to speak
- The pay disparity between male and female speakers
- Asking and negotiating with event organizers on your pay
- What to do when you’re asked to be on a panel or speak at an event and there’s no diversity
- The importance of having a walk-on song
- What to wear when speaking
- How NOT to start your talk
- Ways to get the audience to tag you on social media
