How to Build Authority,
Reduce Decision Friction & Increase Recommendations
You may be highly qualified, highly experienced, and highly bookable.
The question is: The question is: Does the evidence exist for people and AI BOTH to recognize it?
The way speakers and experts are discovered, evaluated, and recommended has changed. Meeting planners still ask colleagues, visit websites, watch videos, read testimonials, check LinkedIn, and evaluate credentials, however...
Now they're also asking AI:
“Who are the best keynote speakers on this topic?” “Recommend speakers for our leadership conference.” "What speakers would be a good fit for our sales kickoff?”
It's no longer enough to be credible. Your credibility has to be AI recognizable, verifiable, and recommendable.

Instant access link will be emailed immediately. No credit card required.
Don't Be Left Behind
Not About Gaming AI
This isn't about gaming ChatGPT or trying to exploit temporary loopholes in algorithm prompts.
No AI Content Spam
It isn't about publishing endless AI-generated content (don't do it). Cheap volume degrades authority.
Real Digital Evidence
It's about building the credible digital evidence that supports your authority everywhere a buyer, referral partner, search engine, or AI encounters you.
Be prepared to ask AI one potentially uncomfortable question:
“Would you recommend me?”
Because in the new speaker & expert marketplace, being good at what you do is only the beginning. You need enough credible evidence for humans and AI to recognize that you're the right choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this training 100% complimentary?
Yes, free registration. There is no credit card required. Elizabeth McCormick is bringing together principles from her 2025 book 'The Credibility Factor' and upcoming January 2027 book 'The Credibility Deficit' to show speakers how to build verifiable authority.

Wednesday, October 28, 2026 from 6:00 PM to 7:30 PM Central Time (7:00 PM – 8:30 PM Eastern / 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM Pacific). It runs for 90 minutes on Zoom with live interactive teardowns.
What exactly is 'The Credibility Deficit'?
It's the gap between how qualified, experienced, and bookable you truly are, and whether the credible digital evidence exists for humans and AI recommendation systems to recognize and verify it.
