She's Got The Mic Speakers Collective is a high-end, action-driven membership built around live events, coaching, and community — designed to help women speakers sharpen their craft, grow their business, and step onto more stages with clarity, confidence, and impact.

Hot 5 is a high-energy speaking showcase where women get real stage reps—fast.
Come for the mic, the momentum, and the magic.
Leave with confidence, clarity, and content you can actually use.

What the evening includes:

This is where you stop waiting to feel “ready” and start building confidence by doing the thing. You’ll test your message, sharpen your delivery, and walk off stage knowing—without question—that you belong there.

Set inside a stylish, gallery-style space with cocktails in hand and creative energy in the air, this night is equal parts elevated, electric, and action-driven.

This is not an open mic.
It’s a curated, momentum-building speaking experience.

Evening Flow

Welcome & Mingle
Arrive to a chic, social atmosphere with passed appetizers, cocktails, and mocktails. Connect with fellow speakers, attendees, and creatives as the room fills with anticipation and high-vibe conversation.

The Hot 5 Showcase
Twenty speakers take the stage.
Each delivers a tight, powerful 5-minute talk.

Speakers rotate back-to-back in high-energy rounds, with intentional pacing to keep the momentum strong and the nerves low. This format allows you to focus, have fun, and perform at your best—without overthinking or over-preparing.

The room is supportive, engaged, and buzzing. Women hyping women. Big energy. Real reps.
