Speaking is one of the fastest ways to build visibility in your business—but visibility alone doesn’t pay you.

In this episode of Social Media Decoded, Michelle Thames shares what most people don’t understand about speaking opportunities and why getting on stage is only the beginning.

She walks through what actually happens after the stage, why most speakers don’t convert, and how to build a system that turns visibility into real opportunities and paying clients.

If you’ve been focused on getting booked but not seeing results, this episode will show you exactly what’s missing.

• Why speaking alone doesn’t lead to clients
• What happens after you get off stage (and why it matters)
• How to create a clear next step for your audience
• The importance of follow-up and continuing the conversation
• How to build a system that converts visibility into revenue
• Why messaging and positioning impact conversion

Michelle shares her framework for converting speaking opportunities:

Stage → Connection → Follow-Up → Ecosystem → Client

Speaking creates visibility, but your system is what drives conversion.

The stage gets you seen.

The system gets you paid.

Be honest—after you speak, do you:

• Follow up with people
• Have a clear next step
• Just move on to the next thing
• Not sure what to do next

Michelle helps entrepreneurs build visibility systems that convert through strategy calls, VIP Days, and her community.

What actually happens when you get in the right room?

In this live, on-the-ground episode of Social Media Decoded, Michelle Thames shares real-time insights from PowerTable Live—one of the rooms where high-level entrepreneurs, community leaders, and business owners come together to connect, collaborate, and grow.

She breaks down what she’s seeing behind the scenes: the conversations, the energy, and the mindset shifts that separate those who are building momentum from those who feel stuck.

From authentic online presence to real-life collaboration, Michelle shares why proximity matters more than ever—and how being in the right spaces can unlock new opportunities in your business.

What if the reason you’re not seeing opportunities in your business has nothing to do with your content…

…and everything to do with the rooms you’re in?

In this episode of Social Media Decoded, Michelle Thames breaks down the real power of proximity and why she continues to invest in rooms like PowerTable Live.

She shares a real story of how a connection from Threads turned into a meaningful relationship, speaking opportunities, and new doors opening in her business. Michelle explains why being in the right spaces changes your perspective, expands your network, and creates opportunities that content alone cannot.

If you’ve been trying to grow your business on your own, this episode will show you what might be missing.

• How being in the right rooms creates real opportunities
• The difference between online visibility and real-life connections
• Why relationships matter more than followers
• How to approach rooms with intention

You’re not missing opportunities because of your content.

You’re missing them because of your proximity.

She explains why Threads is less about going viral and more about sharing clear perspectives that attract the right audience. Michelle also shares how her posts have led to filled events, local visibility, and deeper connections with her community.

If you’ve been unsure how to use Threads or feel like your content isn’t converting, this episode will help you rethink your approach.
