You donât have to be the best speaker & writer.
Become the expert they canât ignore.

The 10-week Expert Ladder Advanced Bootcamp by Juliana Chan, PhDÂ is a unique, one-of-a-kind virtual bootcamp that transforms you from "someone who can present and write well" to "the person everyone wants to hear from," because youâve built something genuinely worth saying.
Let me guess your story...
Youâve been to Toastmasters. Maybe youâve taken a speaking course or two. Youâve practiced your gestures in the mirror and perfected your "power pose." Youâve bought your overpriced stage outfit. You think youâre ready to land speaking gigs, training workshops and book publishing offers.
But hereâs whatâs actually happening:Â Youâre still the 10th choice on someoneâs list of potential speakers. Youâre still invited to speak for "exposure" instead of commanding premium fees. You are thinking of self-publishing as no book publisher has shown interest in your book proposal.
đ What you think experts do
Post on LinkedIn almost daily
Polished stage presence and speaking style
Expensive speaker one-sheet and showreel
Non-stop networking at industry events and conferences
Â
đĄWhat experts actually do
Â
Become the trusted expert in their niche
Develop a signature framework clients canât get elsewhere
Collect original research data that solves real problems
Unique insights so valuable others would pay to read or hear it
đ¨ Your audience only cares about one thing
Event organizers and book publishers donât care if you speak like Oprah Winfrey or write like Mark Twain. They only care about one thing: Can you deliver insights their audience canât get anywhere else?
Youâre not competing against other "good speakers and writers." Youâre competing against industry pioneers and published authors who have built their own unique intellectual property based on their years of experience and knowledge.
The people getting premium rates arenât just better presenters or writers. Theyâre the ones whose unique insights canât be found in any book, whose frameworks arenât available on any podcast, whose methodologies arenât taught in any other program.
MEET YOUR GUIDE

Hi! This is Juliana, your rocketship captain speaking! đ
I am an MIT-trained scientist turned media entrepreneur, and a Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum.
In 2020, I was named an inaugural LinkedIn Top Voice for Singapore, and in 2023, I started to help other industry experts and senior professionals launch powerful personal brands for themselves.
My superpower? Guiding others through career pivots and starting small businesses. Academia, entrepreneurship, brand coaching, public speaking, Iâve done it all. Now I help others do the same. đ

Published books and magazines; commissioning editor at the largest Asia-headquartered STEM publisher
Hereâs what makes me different from most coaches:
Most speaking coaches make their income teaching you how to speak, not from their own speaking careers.
Iâm different. I get booked for keynotes, hired as a professional industry moderator, AND booked for training programs with global brands. NOT because Iâm the most polished presenter, but because Iâve built intellectual property that clients actually want.
I'm an MIT-trained scientist with multiple US patents. I spent years in academia conducting original research, developing proprietary methodologies, and publishing peer-reviewed frameworks that advanced entire fields of study.
When I transitioned from professor to personal branding coach, I didnât abandon my scientific trainingâI applied it with the same intensity that I gave to my research career.
While other "experts" are teaching you to copy Vinh Giangâs style or Tony Robbinsâ energy, while they ask you to work on the "Rule of Three," I will put on my MIT-scientist hat and show you how to develop the kind of defensible intellectual property that makes you the only one in the world to possess your offer.
Â
12-year book publisher and commissioning editor
Long before I became a branding coach, I was a publisher and owner of a STEM-focused strategic communications firm.
For the past 12 years, I have helped government, MNC and academic clients publish hundreds of magazines and books. I am also the commissioning editor for the largest Asia-headquartered STEM publisher.
The difference between a speaking coach with presentation tips and an experienced publisher who understands rigorous research, intellectual property and proven methodology?
One gets you better stage presence.
The other gets you to trusted expert status.
One framework.
Three revenue streams.
Â
We donât need to reinvent the wheel for each format. Smart experts build ONE core intellectual property that works everywhere.

Hereâs how the magic works
My 10-week advanced bootcamp turns your expertise into tangible, market-ready assets:
đ Your book:Â Your framework becomes chapters. Your case studies become stories. Your methodology gets established as THE trusted expert for your topic.
đ¤ Your keynote: That same framework becomes your signature speech content. Youâre not a motivational guru: youâre teaching YOUR methodology to audiences who canât get it anywhere else.
đ Your workshop:Â The framework that filled your book and keynote now becomes hands-on training. Companies pay premium rates for methodology they can implement immediately.
Â
Same intellectual property.
Three different formats.
Exponential income potential.
Choose your expert ladder track
Three tracks. Three outcomes.
