“My CAPS Academy accountability meetings (and the larger CAPS community) helped me land a conference speaking gig in my industry - I learned the MUST ASK questions for the potential client, what the price structure is, gave me template speakers agreements, coached me on writing my bio, and that’s just from what I’ve been able to take the time to partake in!”
