Leisa Reid founded the OC Speakers Network in 2013 when she realized she could make a bigger impact by collaborating and supporting other speakers. She has currently spoken over 600 times and became the Founder of Get Speaking Gigs Now in 2017 after speakers kept asking her, “How do you get so many gigs?” Each month in the OCSN they do the following super fun + result-driven activities:

  • Speaker Mingling
  • Speaker Lounge Topic

  • Speaker Sharing

Starting Summer 2023 Leisa Reid will be taking over as the CEO of ISN and transitioning as Katrina Sawa steps down. Leisa will merge the ISN with her OCSN into a bigger, badder ISN!
