Speaking gigs — paid and unpaid. Honorarium opportunities. Award nominations. Media features. Podcast guest calls. Contributor calls. All in one searchable portal you can browse in minutes.
What Is The Elevate Desk?
Think of us as Indeed — but for your professional visibility
We don't do your PR for you. We don't pitch on your behalf. What we do is hunt down every legitimate visibility opportunity that exists for professionals like you.
We're the aggregator. You're the expert. You log in, find the right opportunities, and apply on your own terms. No middleman markup. No agency retainer. Just the intelligence you need to show up everywhere your ideal clients are looking.
We organize it all in one searchable portal you can browse in minutes.
We're more than just a platform; we're your dedicated partner in professional growth. Here's how The Elevate Desk™ transforms your approach to visibility:
Like Indeed for jobs
We aggregate speaking, media, and award opportunities so you don't have to search across dozens of websites. You see everything in one place and apply directly.
Like Rotten Tomatoes for decisions
We score and evaluate each opportunity so you can quickly decide what's worth your time. Not every speaking gig deserves your energy — we help you tell the difference.
Like a Scanner running 24/7
While you're serving clients, we're scanning for new opportunities, monitoring deadlines, and keeping your portal updated daily. You never miss a window.
Not an Agency: no done-for-you
We provide the information and intelligence. You decide what to pursue and when. Full control stays with you — at a fraction of the cost of traditional PR.
Many Opportunities. One Desk.
Every listing includes the details you need: compensation type, deadline, topic fit, audience size, and our signal rating.

Full Transparency: This Is Not for Everyone
We'd rather you know upfront. The Elevate Desk is a self-service visibility intelligence platform. We provide the opportunities — you do the applying.
This is NOT for you if...
You want a done-for-you PR agency to handle everything
You're not willing to invest time applying to opportunities
You expect guaranteed placements or wins
You sell physical products (not services)
You're looking for advertising or paid placement
This IS for you if...
You're an expert who wants to build credibility and visibility
You know opportunities exist but don't have time to find them all
You want to apply to speaking gigs, awards, and media features consistently
You'd rather spend 20 minutes choosing than 8 hours searching
You want a low-cost, high-impact way to build your professional profile
You understand that visibility compounds — every win opens the next door
What's Your Time Actually Worth?
The average professional spends 5–8 hours per month searching for visibility opportunities. At $100/hour, that's $500–$800 of your time — gone. Every month.
Simple Pricing
No trials. No tricks. Just access. We believe in transparency. Choose the plan that fits your goals. Cancel monthly anytime. Lifetime access is limited.
No. We don't offer a trial period. What we offer is full transparency about exactly what's in the portal before you join — this page, the sample card above, and our open office hours where you can ask Stefanie anything before committing.
Do you apply to opportunities for me?
No. Think of us like Indeed — we aggregate and curate the opportunities. You apply directly to the organizations listing them. We're the intelligence layer, not the agency layer.
Are all speaking gigs paid?
No, and we're upfront about that. Every listing in the portal clearly shows the compensation type: paid, honorarium, stipend, or unpaid/exposure. You decide which types are worth your time based on your goals and stage.
What industries do you cover?
We serve experts across many fields — coaches, consultants, attorneys, real estate agents, financial advisors, wellness professionals, healthcare providers, authors, and nonprofit leaders, among others.
How often is the portal updated?
Daily. New opportunities are added every day so you always have fresh, current listings with deadlines you can actually meet. No stale content.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. Monthly subscribers can cancel anytime with no contracts or commitments. Your access continues through the end of your billing period.
What if I don't have time to apply to everything?
You don't have to apply to everything. Save your favorites, browse in 5–10 minutes, and apply when your schedule allows. Even one quality application per month compounds your visibility over time.
Do you guarantee I'll get selected or win awards?
No. No one can guarantee that, and anyone who claims otherwise isn't being straight with you. We guarantee you'll have access to every relevant opportunity that's out there — your expertise and application quality determine the rest.
