Because no one told you that being good at logistics isn’t enough.

The real power is knowing how to drive profit, build community, and engineer transformation.

That’s what Certified Event Producers™ do.

In just six months, you could earn your Certified Event Producer™ Apprentice Credentials and begin running a profitable, prestigious producer business. And then a few months later, be fully certified.

This is more than event planning.

The Production Playbook

This is where strategy meets structure. This is where you become the producer, clients can’t imagine running an event without; the one who makes everything look effortless.

You’ll master the systems, flow, and team dynamics behind every successful event, from AV to Dream Team, Run-of-Show to ROI tracking.

Through self-paced modules, live production labs, and a real certification simulation, you’ll become the calm, confident producer who makes the magic (and the money) happen.

The Profit Blueprint

Turn your certification into a scalable, profitable business.

You’ll learn to package, price, and pitch your producer services with confidence and walk away with everything you need to attract clients, earn retainers, and grow with ease.

Through live business-building labs, sales coaching, and your Producer Package capstone, you’ll step into your role as a trusted profit partner for the industry’s top leaders.

What’s Included Inside Event Producer Mastery™

You’re not buying another course.
You’re stepping into a career-defining transformation.

Event Producer Mastery™ gives you everything you need to go from “behind the scenes” to in demand,  with the confidence, skills, and systems to lead high-level events that drive revenue, influence, and impact.

This isn’t theory. It’s the exact process Shay and her team use to run multi-six-figure events for the biggest names in the coaching and consulting world, broken down step by step, so you can do it too.

Before you master systems or sales, you’ll master how you see yourself.

This is where everything changes. You stop being the one behind the scenes and start being the one clients look to for clarity, direction, and results.

Your journey begins with The Producer Initiation,  a private welcome experience that anchors your new identity as a Certified Event Producer™ in Training. You’ll claim your first badge, gain access to your mentorship portal, and step into a community of producers who lead with grace, precision, and confidence.

Then, you’ll dive into the frameworks that make Grace & Ease the go-to for multi-six-figure events and learn how to think like a profit partner, not a planner.

What You’ll Master in This Phase:

  • The Decision Bridge™
    Understand the psychology behind why attendees say yes (and what to do when they don’t).

  • The Offer Comes First™
    Learn how to reverse engineer every event from the client’s offer for maximum ROI.

  • The Event Strategy Blueprint™
    Create your high-level plan for designing events that convert.

You’ll also craft your Producer Declaration inside the Identity Upgrade Lab , a guided session that helps you articulate who you’re becoming and the standard you now lead from.

Each month, you’ll join Shay live for The Vision Call , your space to align, ask questions, and calibrate to the energy of mastery.

By the end of this phase, you won’t just understand the strategy behind high-converting events. You’ll see yourself as the leader who makes them possible.

This is where strategy becomes skill. You’ll move from understanding events to running them with calm authority, proven systems, and absolute confidence.

Through a blend of guided training, live labs, and a real-world certification simulation, you’ll learn how to manage every moving part of a high-level event without the overwhelm.

What You’ll Master in This Phase:

  • Introduction to Events & Teams
    Understand the anatomy of a successful event, how teams work together, and where you fit as the strategic leader.

  • Client Intake & Management Tools
    Learn how to onboard clients, manage communication, and create trust through professional systems that keep every project on track.

  • Leading with Grace & Ease
    Build your leadership presence and learn to hold clients, teams, and timelines with confidence — even under pressure.

  • Planning & Preparing for the Event
    Dive into the details of venue selection, AV, budgets, F&B, speakers, and run-of-show design to make every event flow beautifully.

  • The Dream Team
    Identify, build, and manage your event Dream Team — understanding every role, responsibility, and collaboration dynamic.

  • During the Event
    Step into your producer power as the calm in the storm. Manage logistics, flow, energy, and the unexpected with grace and precision.

  • After the Event
    Lead powerful debriefs, gather testimonials, and analyze results that turn good events into repeatable, scalable wins.

You’ll also gain access to the Case Study Vault, with behind-the-scenes breakdowns of real Grace & Ease productions showing exactly what worked, what shifted, and what drove profit.

In the Production Labs, you’ll practice your skills in real time through interactive sessions on run-of-show, AV contracts, team structure, and event scenarios.

Finally, you’ll complete your Certification Simulation, designing and presenting a full event plan reviewed by the Grace & Ease team. Completing this milestone earns your official Certified Event Producer™ badge  your mark of mastery.

By the end of this phase, you’ll know how to produce world-class events that deliver measurable results and unforgettable experiences, the kind clients remember, repeat, and refer.

You’ve earned your certification. Now it’s time to build your business around it.

In this phase, you’ll learn how to package, price, and position yourself as the profit partner high-level clients are searching for. You’ll stop selling your time and start selling your expertise — creating a business that pays you well for the transformation you deliver.

Through focused trainings, hands-on business labs, and personalized feedback, you’ll leave this phase with a complete Producer Package, a confident pricing strategy, and a clear plan for recurring revenue.

What You’ll Master in This Phase:

  • Event Producer Offer Stack™
    Design your signature suite of producer services that reflects your expertise and supports scalable income.

  • Pricing Strategies That Sell
    Confidently set your rates for per-event, retainer, or partnership models — and know exactly how to articulate your value.

  • ROI Framing & Enrollment Conversations
    Shift from explaining what you do to communicating the outcomes you create. Lead confident sales conversations that convert with ease.

  • Proposal Templates & Revenue Plan
    Craft polished proposals and a clear income roadmap so you can grow consistently, sustainably, and profitably.

Inside the Business-Building Labs, you’ll refine your pricing, roleplay real client conversations, and receive coaching on your offer presentation.

You’ll complete your journey with the Producer Package Capstone, presenting your full offer and revenue plan for review by the Grace & Ease team. Successful completion grants access to the Producer Collective™, your private network of Certified Event Producers™ who collaborate, share referrals, and continue building together.

By the end of this phase, you’ll have everything you need to run your producer business with clarity, confidence, and ease, ready to attract dream clients, earn retainers, and grow your reputation as an indispensable profit partner.

Be Seen for Your Value

You’ve spent years as the go-to implementer , the one who saves the day, and you’re ready to finally be recognized as a strategic leader.

You want a business that grows from referrals and results, not burnout, so you can scale your income and your impact.

You’re Not Buying a Course.
You’re Building a Career.

I won’t walk you through the “math” of what’s inside.  You already know the value of strategy, systems, and mentorship that get results.

This isn’t about adding another certification to your résumé.
It’s about stepping into the identity, income, and influence of a Certified Event Producer™, a leader who knows how to engineer million-dollar moments.

They’re asking, “Am I ready to take my seat at the table?”
