Rave Reviews – Consulting Clients

Aimée Lyndon-Adams-1

“I recently participated in Anastasia's Get Booked to Speak 4-week tele-program and received so much value. I just love it when others share the fruits of their own hard work and research, providing shortcuts, tips and proven techniques and Anastasia did this and more! It's clear that Anastasia is a pro and I benefited hugely from investing my time and money with her.”
~ Aimée Lyndon-Adams - Consciousness Leader, Co-Founder, What Truly Matters: Living Life Consciously

Alyscia Cunningham

"I first connected with Anastasia at the beginning stages of my journey as a professional speaker. She is so very resourceful and always found creative ways to connect me with women in other networks. Anastasia also caught my attention with her video messages, which I love so much. Not only is it an attention grabber but it's professionally done. She's definitely an out-if-the-box thinker and I highly recommend her services. Thank you truly!"
~ Alyscia Cunningham - Filmmaker, Photographer, and Author of I Am More Than my Hair

Amy Gray-Cunningham-1

"I hired Anastasia to help me develop my speaking platform. By day I'm a marketing manager and my primary focus is on branding and digital marketing. After talking with Anastasia, I was pleasantly surprised that I hadn't thought of all that she had suggested. It was as if a light bulb went off and I felt like "oh, yeah! why didn't I think of that!" But it just goes to show you when it comes to marketing and branding yourself, it always helps to have a new perspective. I highly recommend Anastasia!"
~ Amy Gray-Cunningham - Author of ‘Daring to Believe: Memoir of a Living Kidney Donor’

Angela DeSalvo

"Anastasia is well versed in what is needed for someone who is interested in getting into the speaking arena. She listens well and offers direction based on your individual strengths. I highly recommend Anastasia for her expertise in understanding people and her ability to make the right connections in her industry."

Barbara Hoffer-1

“Having worked with a number of marketing consultants, having time with Anastasia raised the bar! Knowledgeable and experienced, she intuitively offered unique and detailed suggestions that zeroed in short term and long-term needs for my business. If you are looking for a high touch consultant who provides exceptional follow-up, I can highly recommend contacting Anastasia.”
~ Barbara Hoffer - Owner/Founder, Back9 Pilates

Curt-Vincent

"I met Anastasia when I was recommended to speak to the Golden Gate Breakfast Club. Not only did she brief me on what was expected of me with GGBC, but she also coached me on my social media and LinkedIn profile. I am a technologist but that doesn't mean I know how to keep up with social media, but Anastasia does. She is gentle and patient with people like me that are just learning how to promote themselves. I highly recommend Anastasia for any of her services from coaching to Podcast Booking Agent. She is charming and very professional and really knows what she is doing! We have spent a lot of time on Zoom together and I now consider her a friend as well as a professional ally."
~ Curt Vincent - Professional Speaker and Chief Cyber Strategist

Dawn Raquel Jensen-1

“I was first impressed by Anastasia's candor and insight. She has been a great help in identifying and homing in on aspects of the speaking business that was previously unknown or underserved. Her coaching provided a path forward for me and the next steps in the process. She is a consummate professional and takes you 'behind the scenes' in the process. The nuggets of information from our very first session together still provide tremendous value. If you are on the fence about getting a speaker's coach, you should absolutely reach out to her!”
~ Dawn Raquel Jensen - Social Business Coach/Trainer, Virtual Options

Dick Scoppettone-1

"Had an excellent consult with Anastasia. She covered everything from assembling my profile to streamlining my presentation. Also gave me great observations on my website. I can’t recommend her enough - gave me lots of good feedback."
~ Dick Scoppettone - Film Producer, New Film Studios in Santa Cruz

Elisabeth Stitt

“Anastasia is a treasure trove of information on how to present yourself and how to get booked as a speaker or on a podcast. Listing to her present, I was taking notes so fast I could hardly keep up, and now I have a list of action items to start my new year. I especially loved her lesser-known tips for how to get compensated when people don't have a budget. For example, organizations have materials budgets that are separate from their speaker budgets: Because I am an author, I can ask if they might buy a book for every attendee. To me that's a win-win--profit from book sales and more importantly getting a concrete reminder of my talk into people's hands.”
~ Elisabeth Stitt - Joyful Parenting Coach, Author, and Speaker

Farima-Joya

"I reached out to Anastasia looking for a speaker agent. During our initial conversation, I found her to be open, honest, and very helpful. She shared so many great tips on the first call that I wondered what would she do if I had an hour with her. I'm very happy I connected with Anastasia who introduced me to Caterina Rando, an empowering business coach, and Innovation Women community, whose mission is to help women speakers get booked. And, of course, I feel much more comfortable sharing my message and online presence after my branding consultation with Anastasia. I look forward to being part of her monthly Q&A virtual meetings."
~ Farima Joya - Spiritual Alchemy Leadership Academy / Meditation Teacher, Author, and Speaker

Gary McKinsey

"When you're looking for a knowledgeable and dedicated podcast booking agent, look no further than Anastasia. She impressed me with the amount of research she put into preparing for our meeting, and as a result was able to give me excellent, timely, and actionable advice on positioning myself to get booked and rebooked on podcasts. Anastasia's depth of knowledge and willingness to freely share her knowledge is astounding. If you're serious about getting booked on podcasts, she's the person you need in your corner."
~ Gary McKinsey - Professional Speaker & Business Expansion Strategist

Greg Allipit-1

She listened with sensitivity and understanding, provided practical suggestions and shared insider tips.

"If you are a speaker and looking for groups to speak to (or podcasts to guest on), Anastasia is the one to call. We've been working together for nearly 4 years now and it's been such a great process with her and her team. I also highly recommend her 1-to-1 speaker branding session. It was an hour of nonstop tips and tricks. I've listened to the recording about 6 times now to try to get all of the great information out of the session."

“Anastasia is a joy to work with! She gave me clear steps on how to set me apart as a speaker. The things to do, how to do them, why they will make a difference and recommendations on who can help where I don't have the skill set. I appreciate the information I'm armed with to move forward in a direction that makes sense with actionable steps. Thank you!”

Jessica Acheson - Real RAW Mama Podcast
"As a Podcaster just beginning to dip my toes in the world of speaking and guesting on other podcasts, I found my consultation with Anastasia to be of great value.  She is very clearly an authority on the most professional and magnetic ways to present yourself as a public speaker.  In the hour we spent together I received so many gems that I intend to apply to my personal speaking and podcast journey.  Very grateful for the time and expertise Anastasia provided me!"
~ Jessica Acheson - Host, Real RAW Momma Podcast
Kendra Losee
"I've hosted and produced more than 100 live video interviews for myself and for clients. But podcasting is a different beast. It has its own nuances and best practices that are often ignored and overlooked by those of us who aren't podcast hosts (yet). Like anyone starting something new, we don't know what we don't know. This is why I'm so thankful to Anastasia Lipske of Access Speakers for our consultation today! She shared a wealth of information with me to help ensure that I'll be starting my upcoming podcast the right way – for me and for my guests. Knowing when to ask for help is important for all of us. Having the right people in your community to know WHO you can ask for specific help when you need it is critical. And also amazing. 😀 Thank you, Anastasia!"
