Become a Certified Speaker Operations Manager
with My Complete Business-In-a-Box Solution
Learn the strategies, systems, and processes you need to work
with professional speakers and create stability in your business.
The training curriculum was all-inclusive! - Danielle Hoover
Because let's face it - regular VA work isn't going to allow you to hit your income goals...
But something tells me you already know that.
Let me guess...
- You assist so many clients doing so many different things it’s hard to switch hats all the time
- It’s feast or famine every month - you have no predictable income
- You're bored with general admin tasks, and you're ready to scale
I've been there and had every one of those experiences, too!
After being in this industry for over twenty years, I know that all of this is normal, but it doesn’t have to be YOUR normal.
Being a Speakers Operations Manager for speakers is the most powerful way to kick all those problems to the curb and finally create your a freedom lifestyle.
- Stabilize your lifestyle and being in control of your income
- Work less and earning more
- Scale your business
- State what you do in a niched-down way clearly
The global intelligent virtual assistant market size was exhibited at USD 16.08 billion in 2023 and is projected to hit around USD 129.61 billion by 2032, registering a CAGR of 26.10% during the forecast period from 2023 to 2032.
Having this skill in your toolbelt can be your ticket to:
- Offer a high-value service with a big impact for your clients
- Own an offer with clear boundaries - buh-bye scope creep!
No more wondering where the heck your next client is coming from or hitting max capacity before you've even come close to making the money you want to make.
After being in this industry for over 20 years and then spending the last four years teaching my systems to other administrative professionals, I've realized...
There are 3 main reasons most VAs fall shy of their business goals:
- Inconsistent Income. Most VAs work with a client on a specific project, often pulling 10 or 12-hour days, but when the project’s over and the client doesn’t need their services any longer, they’re back to having to hustle for work.
- Getting Paid By The Hour. There’s only so many hours in a day. If you’re working for an hourly wage, there’s no way you can scale, which means you’ll hit your income ceiling and have no way to bust through it.
- You’re Not In Control. We all got into this business to find freedom, but the reality is we’re at the mercy of our clients’s schedules, which doesn’t feel like freedom at all.
If you're on the other side of the screen nodding your head yes, then you're in the right spot!

You’re ready to eliminate the stress, frustration, and wasted time and hello to ease, flow, and gain hours back in your day

Here's what others are saying about The Speaker Virtual Assistant Academy...
“I am so glad that I met Regina, and I recommend her class
to anyone thinking about working with Professional Speakers.”
Regina has taught me so much about how to be a great Speaker Support Assistant.
I have learned so much from this class with Regina Baker. I have always wanted to learn eSpeakers. Regina has taught me so much about how to be a great Speaker Support Assistant. Her teaching style is very thorough, and she is always there to ask any questions that you have in class and after class. Regina has a step-by-step system for handling and setting up everything in eSpeakers. You know that things will come up unexpectedly, and Regina walks you through how to handle those situations too. I am so glad that I met Regina, and I recommend her class to anyone considering working with Professional Speakers in the near future.
The training curriculum was all-inclusive. There was no ambiguity – I would have been unable to make my way through without your input. Having said that, your insider knowledge increased my learning curve. Thank You!
I felt heard and coached well about how to begin building my business.
I am pumped, excited, and ready to get my business off the ground. I got clarity around focusing my business. When you are just starting and feeling the pressure to produce $$, you can be tempted to do anything! She helped me to see I have a gift/skill that can produce income. I learned best practices to use with new clients, create a target market, etc. I felt heard and coached well about how to begin building my business.
I realized her wealth of knowledge is immense.
When I first met Regina, I was curious about her profession, longing to break free from the corporate world. Hearing about her work with speakers sparked my interest; I thought, "I can do that!" Over time, I retired, and when she invited me to join the SVAA, I eagerly accepted. Working alongside her, I realized her wealth of knowledge is immense. I'm excited to absorb her insights and apply them to servicing professional speakers. Currently enrolled in SVAA again, I feel more confident in honing my skills and mastering the systems and processes to 100!
I learned the difference between a speaker agent and a speaker manager.
The conversation was eye-opening in the best way. Regina was very personable and easy to talk with, and she provided me with honest feedback on the industry as a whole. From her, I learned the differences between a speaker agent and a speaker manager, compensation for services, and the criteria I should look for in potential speaker clients. She answered all of my questions and beyond. Most importantly, the conversation with Regina helped me gain confidence in starting my own business based on my own knowledge and experience in the association world. Today, I feel more prepared to take the next step.

Let me level with you...
I put this course together to help professional speakers with experienced support staff - period.
The services I teach are uncommon for virtual assistants. I'm constantly asked to support
professional speakers. I'm booked solid, therefore...
I'M CLONING MYSELF!
I want to emphasize that this isn't about pushing a sales pitch or making grand promises. The value of these processes is undeniable; they have helped professional speakers earn substantial income!
My aim isn't to convince and overcharge; rather, it's to make this invaluable knowledge accessible to service-based providers. To top that off, this class is open to 10 students! My goal is to overdeliver! I want each person to walk away full and satisfied—like a full-course meal!
The investment of $4,000 is both reasonable and recoverable, especially considering the lucrative opportunities it can unlock in the professional speaking industry. To be transparent, I could easily price this course at $10,000-$20,000, given its foundational role in building profitable businesses as a manager for professional speakers.
She's great at training assistants and helping speakers uncover what's missing
Regina is very likely the best business manager in the speaking business. Her ability to leverage systems, white glove customer service, and manage teams make her an incredible asset to any speaking business. She has great attention to detail and a strong sense of pride in her work. Additionally, she's great at training assistants and helping speakers uncover what's missing in their own business systems that would allow their businesses to run more efficiently and effectively. I cannot recommend Regina enough! In the nearly nine years we've been together, she has helped grow my business beyond what I thought was possible.
Regina knows speakers and all the backend work involved in getting a speaker out of the door and back home!
During my speaking career (20+ years), I have worked with several assistants and for whatever reasons, things fell through the cracks. I called Regina, and the rest is history! Regina knows speakers and all the backend work it takes to get a speaker out the door, on the stage, back home, and then complete all the after-speaking items. She not only has a system in place but also all the templates required for back-end business—and she's a master at systems.
