Leslie Guria

Since kicking off my first business venture in 2001, I’ve helped small business owners and independent professionals make money.  Whether it’s with a hard-hitting press release that brings thousands of new visitors to a client’s web site or an unpaid speaking gig where audience members become clients or buy products, my unique background combining PR, marketing and sales allows me to offer clients full-circle solutions that bring in business. 

My focus on free/unpaid public speaking began as a request from a few clients and grew into Speaking Bonanza.com.  Because of the ability of  public speaking to help independent professionals find new business, I decided to focus my efforts exclusively on booking (and the resources that make up the process) unpaid/low fee speaking engagements. 

I have an MBA with a marketing emphasis from the Keller Graduate School of Management, a BA in Communications from Michigan State University and worked in corporate sales for over a decade before starting my first independent initiative in 2001.

My articles appear in both print and web media and I speak to small business groups nationwide about the benefits of free/unpaid public speaking.
