Maximize Revenue with a Winning Webinar Strategy

When 90% of her speaking income vanished in 2020, Alaina G. Levine didn’t hit pause—she hit play.

By harnessing the power of webinars, she tripled her income, delivered 100+ engagements (including a TEDx!), and created a recurring revenue stream that continues to grow year after year.

In this energizing session, Alaina pulls back the curtain on the exact strategies she uses to pitch and sell high-value webinar series—with some clients booking her 15+ years in a row.

You’ll walk away with:

A proven formula to turn your expertise into multiple webinar topics
Ideas for bundling & selling high-ticket packages clients love
Tools to price, promote, and position webinars that sell (again and again)
Tips to keep your content pipeline flowing with fresh, in-demand ideas
How webinars can lead to in-person engagements and long-term client relationships

Don’t miss this workshop if you want to:

Build consistent income
Stay top of mind with your audience
And turn your knowledge into a scalable business model

Join us and learn how to get booked, rebooked, and build a business that thrives—virtually and beyond!

She has delivered ~1000 speeches for clients in 15 nations, 35 states, and 5 continents, and her 500+ articles have appeared in Scientific American, National Geographic News Watch, World Economic Forum, and Smithsonian, including her column, “Your Unicorn Career,” published in the world’s #1 science magazine.

The Collapsible Keynote: How to Deliver a Powerful Presentation When Your Stage Time Has Been Cut

As professional speakers, we’ve all been there. You’re hired to deliver your full 60-minute keynote, but right before you go on stage, due to circumstances beyond your control, you find out your stage time has been cut to 45, 30, or even just 15 minutes. What do you do? How can you, in the moment, shift to delivering 60 mins of value in a fraction of the original time?

In this dynamic session, Anton Gunn, CSP® will share his field-tested strategies for “collapsing” your keynote content to ensure you deliver an impactful, memorable presentation – no matter how much (or how little) time you’re given.

Audience members will learn:

The art of “terminal slides” – how to structure your visuals so each one conveys a complete, standalone message.
Techniques for modularizing your content into bite-sized, easily digestible segments.
Performance tips to create energy and audience engagement, even under severe time constraints.
A simple framework for quickly identifying your core message and stories to share.
How to execute the perfect pre-event process that creates the right setup to ensure your message lands, regardless of time.

Whether you’re an experienced speaker or just starting out, “The Collapsible Keynote” will equip you with the skills to navigate last-minute changes and deliver a knockout presentation every time.

EARLY REGISTRATION ENDS ON MAY 4TH. REGISTER EARLY TO SAVE!

About our speaker: Anton Gunn elevates organizations through his innovative insights on leadership and workplace culture. With a distinguished career spanning college sports, healthcare, public service, and executive leadership, Anton is highly sought-after as a strategic advisor. As a former senior advisor to President Barack Obama and C-level healthcare executive, he delivers game-changing strategies that help audiences and organizations build exceptional leaders and unstoppable teams.

A trailblazer from the start, Anton made history as the first African American elected to the South Carolina Legislature from his district. He also became the youngest CEO of a statewide nonprofit advocacy organization. His meteoric rise in healthcare leadership earned him recognition as one of the Ten Most Influential Minority Executives in Healthcare. His 25 years of service as Board Director and the current Chairman of the Columbia Metropolitan Airport Commission underscores his strategic leadership and corporate governance expertise.

With his unique ability to combine academic rigor with real-world experience, global organizations like Pfizer, KPMG, Microsoft, T-Mobile, SHRM, HCA Healthcare, and Mercedes-Benz Vans turn to Anton for his motivating insights on leadership, organizational culture, and inclusion strategy. His keynote presentations combine magnetic stage presence with profound wisdom and unforgettable storytelling, leaving audiences both inspired and equipped with actionable solutions that drive measurable results.

As a member of the prestigious Aspen Global Leadership Network and former Harvard University Resident Fellow, Anton's thought leadership reaches millions through his bestselling books, proprietary research, and features in major media outlets such as Forbes, Inc., TIME, The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, NPR, CNN, and Good Morning America. When he's not transforming workplace cultures, Anton Gunn moonlights as an 80s and 90s hip-hop historian with a music and memorabilia collection that would make DJ Jazzy Jeff jealous.
