Bring the founder of Ladies Get Paid to your stage.
Ten years ago, Claire Wasserman started asking women to sit in a circle and tell the truth about money and work. That circle became Ladies Get Paid, a community of 50,000+ women who’ve negotiated raises and learned to say their numbers out loud. Claire brings that decade of listening to your stage: warm, direct, in your audience’s corner from the first minute.

Featured in The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, on Good Morning America, and recognized by the White House.
Two talks. Ten years inside this community taught us that the pay gap is structural, and that confidence is where it shows up. Capable women rarely lack information. Both talks send your audience home with tools they’ll use that week, because that’s the standard our community holds us to.
Rewrite Your Money Story
How you feel about money, where that feeling came from, and what it’s quietly costing you
If you had to share your salary with a stranger, would you? What about a friend? If the mere thought makes your toes curl, you’re not alone. Nearly a decade ago, Claire Wasserman started hosting “talking circles” for women to discuss their relationship to money. It exploded into a global movement of 50,000 members, elicited a lawsuit from men’s rights activists, and led to a major book deal.
That’s because money isn’t math. It’s a proxy for power, safety, and belonging, which is why what we earn, or don’t, becomes a referendum on our worth. In this keynote, Claire shares what financial freedom actually is: feeling steady on the inside regardless of what’s happening on the outside. How to get there, and how to hold onto it when your circumstances change.
Drawing from her training in financial psychology and nervous system regulation, along with building a seven-figure business, losing it all, and going on food stamps, she goes deep into where your money beliefs are held, why you’ve stayed stuck in “bad” money habits, and most importantly, what it actually takes to change.
Your audience will learn:
- Where their money beliefs came from, and how to act from intention instead
- What’s happening in their nervous system when money triggers them, and what to do in the moment
- How to stay grounded when their financial circumstances change
- How to enjoy what they have without guilt, and without the reflex that it should be more
- How to talk about money without shame or discomfort
- How to earn what they’re actually capable of
Best for: professional and industry women’s conferences, women’s initiatives, financial wellness programming, and financial services audiences.
Keynote or workshop, 25 to 60 minutes. Tailored to your audience on a briefing call with your team.
Know Your Number, Make Your Ask
How to figure out what you’re worth and go get it
Our community has negotiated millions of dollars in raises, one conversation at a time, many after a single workshop. Claire has traveled the country teaching the method behind those conversations: how to land on your number, how to say it without softening, and how to hold steady when the pushback comes. When one woman gets paid what she’s worth, she resets the bar for the women who come after her.
Your audience leaves with:
- A way to research and set their number
- Words for the moment they’d back down
- A way to steady themselves before the conversation
- The difference between hoping the raise comes and asking for it
Best for: professional women’s conferences, association events, and women’s programming where the audience is navigating raises, promotions, and offers.
Looking for something else? Claire also speaks on making good decisions under pressure and on quieting the inner critic. Just ask.
She carries 50,000 women’s stories with her. Claire has spent a decade listening to this exact room. She names what your audience is feeling before they say it, and they recognize themselves, because thousands of women have said it to her first.
She’s lived it, publicly. Divorce, a lawsuit, a business that ended overnight, a son born with a serious medical condition, a seven-figure company turned into six figures of debt. Claire doesn’t hide behind polished talking points. What she teaches about worth and steadiness, she learned in her own body, and audiences can tell.
She hands over tools. An inspiring talk fades by Friday. Claire’s talks come with frameworks people keep using, and event planners tell us attendees reference her sessions months later.
The throughline in everything she teaches: after years of coaching, Claire kept finding the same thing underneath. What looks like a confidence gap is usually a self-trust gap. No one gets talked out of it. Claire gives them a way through it.
“She was one of our highest-rated speakers. On a recent call, our sponsor contact shared she’d been promoted, and cited Claire’s seminar as the key resource she used to negotiate her new role.”
