Technically Speaking

Technically Speaking is a 12 week LIVE course focused on two aspects of public speaking - creating speaker depth and perfecting technical execution.

1. Deepening your consciousness and diversity of thought to provide your audience depth and breadth, build confidence, and increase presence
2. Learn the technical aspects of speaking to create fluency, trust, and impact in your delivery

In this intense and challenging course, you will work with a diverse cohort of speakers to learn and grow. I will guide you through 12 weeks of instruction LIVE that will help you to perfect your public speaking skills. This LIVE course will equip you with skills you can implement immediately and provide you with a roadmap on how to structure your personal development long after you complete this course.
