From DEI Leadership to Speaking Empire Builder
Evolve Benton transforms overlooked experts into sought-after speakers commanding premium fees. Named one of Yahoo Finance's Top 10 Public Speaking Coaches worldwide, Evolve has helped clients generate over $3 million through strategic speaking and consulting.
Before founding Speaking 4 Profit University, Evolve led DEI initiatives at America's premier medical institutions, including UCSF School of Medicine and UCLA. This unique background allows them to understand both the challenges diverse professionals face and the exact strategies needed to overcome them.
A Journey of Transformation
Evolve's own path mirrors what they teach. In less than three years, they:
- Transitioned from corporate leadership to building a thriving speaking business
- Relocated cross-country to establish roots in Atlanta as a first-time homeowner
- Created the proprietary Wealthy Speaker Method™ that helps speakers secure five-figure engagements
As author of "SIR: poetry dedicated to boihood & blaq queer love" and executive director of BOI Documentary, Evolve brings authenticity and creativity to their business approach.
The Speaking 4 Profit Philosophy
Evolve believes that expertise without visibility equals underearning. Their mission is clear: empowering diverse voices to achieve both professional recognition and financial independence through strategic speaking.
"Too many brilliant professionals are trapped in the cycle of trading time for money," Evolve explains. "I show them how to leverage their knowledge into speaking opportunities that generate premium fees while creating greater impact."
Through Speaking 4 Profit University, Evolve provides the exact frameworks, systems, and support that turn aspiring speakers into profitable authorities who can choose when, where, and how much they work.
When not transforming careers, Evolve enjoys watching basketball, traveling with their wife, and spending time with their two dogs.

Speaking 4 Profit Academy
Led by transformational business coach Evolve Benton, Speaking 4 Profit Academy turns your expertise into a consistent, lucrative speaking business that can thrive alongside your current career.
Your 12-Month Success Journey
This immersive do-it-with-you program is designed for speakers who've had a taste of success but are ready to stop "grabbing $200 here, $100 there" and start commanding premium fees. Whether you're building a five-figure side hustle or planning your exit strategy from corporate life, we provide the exact framework that's helped our graduates make "in one quarter what they made all of last year."
The Speaking 4 Profit Difference
Premium Contract Mastery: Learn to confidently say "no" to undervalued opportunities and focus on high-value engagements. As one graduate shared, "I just usually do like 10 clients or less a year and that suffices" – quality over quantity.
The STAGE Method™ Outreach System: Our proprietary multi-channel marketing system ensures you're "not grabbing to say yes" to every opportunity. Instead, you'll build strategic relationships with decision-makers who value your expertise and pay accordingly, allowing you to be more selective and profitable.
Lifestyle-Focused Business Design: Create a speaking business that supports your ideal life. As one graduate proudly shared, "I was able to take all pride months off... I was able to take my wife on vacations and pay for everything" – that's the freedom we help you build.
VIP Access to Speaking 4 Profit Live: Join us in Atlanta as a VIP, where you'll be "inducted" into our community of successful speakers. Enjoy premium seating, exclusive networking, a professional speaker's reel, and the opportunity to share the stage with industry leaders who are making real impact in their communities.
