“ONA Brown landed right next to the tree of her father Les Brown; yet in her own unique way she passionately shares amazing insights and information that penetrates the hearts of her audience in a powerful, moving and inspiring way!”
“How do I get paid as a speaker?”
Here’s the answer: You master the fundamentals.
The Stage Ready Speaker Training is where you do exactly that.
Learn how to speak with power, presence, and purpose every time you take the mic.
Your friends tell you you’re powerful.
Your team tells you you’ve got a gift.
People come up to you after you speak and say, “You’re amazing.”
But the people praising you…
Aren’t the ones writing the checks.
And if all you’re getting is compliments—not contracts—something’s missing.

You’re not learning from theorists.
You’re learning from two of the most respected voices in human transformation, communication mastery, and stage performance.
High school dropout. Former janitor. International speaker. Over the past 40 years, Paul has built 5 multimillion-dollar companies and generated over a billion dollars in sales.
He’s the former founding president of the John Maxwell Team, where he helped train and certify over 45,000 coaches, speakers, and trainers worldwide. He’s also partnered and shared the stage with personal growth legends like Bob Proctor, Les Brown, Wayne Dyer, Jack Canfield, Zig Zigler, and Dr. Daniel Amen.
Paul is known for taking high-potential people and helping them rise, by sharpening the skill that changes everything: how they speak.
Known globally as “The Message Midwife,” Ona Brown has spent more than two decades helping others give birth to the message inside them.
As the daughter of legendary speaker Les Brown, she grew up behind the curtain, watching greatness, then creating her own.
Ona has spoken in over 23 countries, delivered keynotes for Fortune 500 companies, trained leaders at Harvard University, and been honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award from President Obama.
Her reputation is built on truth-telling, emotional intelligence, and helping good speakers become unforgettable ones.
