How did Savannah Peterson get to speak on stage at AARP and the World Economic Forum's future of work events, alongside the likes of Madeleine Albright and Adam Grant? It all started 6 years ago with intention.

Savannah Peterson looked for the lowest hanging fruit. She was a woman in technology and only about 18% of people in this industry were women. When it came to speakers on stage, it was something like 6 to 9% were women at the time. She didn't look at this as an obstacle, but did see a real opportunity. A chance to sneak in and to make some noise in that space a bit out the gate.

What other lessons did Savannah Peterson share?

Use crowdsourcing for your speaking topics
Create a website with topics you talk about, some content and testimonials
Create video to let people see you speak, even if it's not in front of a live audience
The company you work for or the words you write, don't make you a good speaker
Even being very confident on stage, fear can still strike
It's much easier to get excited on stage when you talk about what you want to talk about
When you ask questions about how you can add value, you may find yourself on more stages
When you discount your work, you discount your worth
If you are just started out, document your speaking
