“I loved having the space to practice in front of an actual audience and receive immediate feedback. The engagement strategies were super helpful as I prepped for 3 live events. Madeline’s advice to imagine the worst-case scenarios and then assess if they were really the end of the world was eye-opening.”
FAQS
The thought of speaking in front of a group of people I don't know is SCARY! How can I overcome this fear if I know this program would be beneficial?
It’s completely natural to feel nervous about speaking in front of other people. I hand pick each member and limit the class to 6 people so that it’s a safe collaborative environment for all.
What if I don’t have any experience speaking in public?
No prior experience is needed. Bring your ideas and your voice, and I’ll show you the rest.
What’s the class schedule?
We meet virtually on Zoom.
Homework?
There will be exercises to practice what you learn between sessions. This is all about consistent practice so you can build momentum and improve your confidence. Plan on 2 hours of class time per week and 30-60 min of homework.
Should I work on something specific?
Yes, you will get the most out of this class if you work on something specific. Past participants have worked on business presentations, conference talks, elevator speeches, live events, interviewing skills and asking for raises. If those seem too high pressure, you can talk about your favorite hobby or passion project.
If you have too many ideas, don’t worry, I have a process to help you narrow down your ideas and distill your key message.
