Make More, Spend Less, and STOP Speaking for Free

As a speaker, your influence and access to diverse audiences opens the door for new and different revenue streams.

But... there’s a problem with this.

Most speakers don’t know that finding corporate sponsorship is an option for them. And those who do typically don’t know the exact steps, the person to call, or what to say when they pick up the phone.

As a speaker, you have spent time honing your speaking skills, building your speaker platform and business, creating presentations that make a difference, and building relationships with event planners and audiences.

Raise a Dream has the answers and expertise to help you connect your value as a speaker to corporate sponsors who want to connect with your audiences and networks.

What Speakers Have to Say About Charmaine:

Davide Di Giorgio

The UNapologetic Speaker, Author, and Leadership Coach

I recently attended the Global Influence Summit where Charmaine is one of the founding partners. I have to say, I was absolutely blown away by Charmaine's knowledge, generosity, and power she brings to a stage. I've attended a lot of events and seen thousands of speakers (I work with speakers myself); Charmaine is definitely one of the shining stars in the speaking world.

I also had the pleasure of having Charmaine speak at my event - a true professional and crowd-pleaser. I look forward to having Charmaine back as a featured guest later this year and look forward to working with her more personally as I build my own business and sponsorship.

Lauren Pibworth

Marketing Chair for Canadian Association of Professional Speakers

Charmaine is an absolute dream to work with, and I would hire her to speak for our organisation again in a second. As the marketing chair for the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers in Toronto, and having managed and marketed speakers in my own business for 10 years, I have worked with a LOT of speakers. Charmaine gets it. She gets that her sole job is to deliver outstanding value to my association while going out of her way to be accommodating and easy for the meeting planner to work with.

The audience left excited about raising their own dreams and empowered with the skills they needed to make it happen. She actively marketed the event for us and even brought guests that might be a fit for us. She walks the talk when it comes to sponsorship and really modelled the behaviour of a consummate professional.

Ron Tsang

Business Communication Expert, CAPS Toronto Program Chair - Board Member

Charmaine Hammond is a genuine speaking professional and her expertise in sponsorship, partnership, and collaboration is truly priceless. You'll be delighted that you booked her.

Freddi Dogterom

Accredited Speaker (CCDP, PRP, RRC, AS)

Charmaine has a depth of knowledge and experience that she readily shares with others. She is articulate, gracious, and generous with her ideas and resources. Thoroughly enjoyed learning about the art of sponsorship. Thank you for your presentation at CAPS Calgary!

Suzanne Balcom

Dental Facilitator and Speaker

“It's all about relationships!" That was my sponsorship take-away message when Charmaine Hammond presented her amazing daylong seminar to CAPS Atlantic in Halifax, Nova Scotia this spring. Charmaine lifted the veil of secrecy regarding partnerships and sponsors and made me understand that my strength and ability in building relationships was all I needed to secure sponsorship and partner in-kind and financially with virtually every business that I already do business with.

Immediately I secured sponsorship and funding that was waiting for me all along, I just didn't realize it and I never knew how to ask. I immediately shared what I learned from her with 3 of my colleagues and they in turn have done the same. Charmaine is a game changer.

Chris Burdge

Online Marketing Consultant & Small Business Growth Expert

Charmaine was recommended to me as a speaker for SOHO Victoria by a previous speaker. After watching some of her previous talk videos, I was impressed enough to add Charmaine to the agenda.

What an awesome decision that turned out to be. Not only did Charmaine deliver an outstanding talk filled with unique and actionable insights, she and her team went above and beyond in their support of the event via their social media and other channels.

If you are looking for an inspiring, engaging, and knowledgeable speaker for your next event, I would highly recommend Charmaine.

Karen Furneaux

Author & Professional Speaker

Charmaine brought so much enthusiasm to our first discussion and call and helped me believe even more strongly in my launch event and book tour.

Candy Barone

Award Winning Author, Speaker, and Transformational Coach

Every time I work with Charmaine, I gain greater clarity, structured action items, and the confidence to step further into having the big conversations about sponsorships within my network.

Lea Brovedani

The Trust Architect - Speaker, Trainer & Coach

Wow! One hour on the strategy call with Charmaine netted potential sponsorships with companies I love.

Tina Varughese

Cross-Cultural Communication Expert, Work-Life Balance Advocate

Charmaine visited CAPS Calgary offering a value-packed, content-rich workshop on sponsorships that many of our speakers were not only inspired by but took action on immediately.

As President of the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers (Calgary), I would highly recommend other chapters take advantage of Charmaine’s expertise in this area. This is definitely a workshop that any speaker, author, meeting or conference planner, or entrepreneur would benefit from.

Michael Kerr

Hall of Fame Business Speaker

Charmaine is a true rock star when it comes to sponsorship expertise.

I had the pleasure of sitting in on a presentation she delivered to the Canadian Association of Professional Speakers. Her engaging delivery and content-rich presentation hit the mark with everyone in the room. It was packed with content and relevant, immediately doable ideas that any professional speaker, author, or innovative entrepreneur could put to work immediately! She earned a rousing and well deserved standing ovation from the audience.

I highly recommend Charmaine, particularly to any speakers or authors who want to learn the ins and outs of leveraging sponsorship in their business!

Cate Collins

International Speaker, Seasoned Retreat Facilitator & Executive Coach, Author

Charmaine presented at our Canadian Association for Professional Speakers convention, and I was extremely impressed by her solid base of sponsorship knowledge, her generosity of spirit, and her dedication to support people. Since that time, I have had various contact points with Charmaine, and I have filled up more notebooks with all her creative suggestions on sponsorship. Charmaine is your obvious "go to" person for any of your sponsorship needs. I am up to 10 sponsors right now for my various events and plan on many, many more.

Thanks Charmaine for being that lighthouse of knowledge and insight!
