    Program details:
    The Focus is You.

    Master-class-worthy content supported by Weekly Workouts and personalized, custom-designed, individual coaching mean you walk away from the program with the mental muscle memory to own any room, any stage, anytime.

    01

    Live Sessions
    • Say what you want to say, the way you want to say it.

    • Own-whatever-damn-stage you aspire to: A keynote stage, your team meeting, or those tough conversations that somehow have you replaying them days later, considering what you wish you'd said.

    • See exactly how you come across and refine the confidence and presence that will help you own a keynote, team meeting or any tough conversation.

    • Shake off those non words, nerves or other habits that keep you from conveying to anyone, anywhere, that you are a force.

    03

    Weekly Workouts
    • Continue to work those muscles by following a Speaker Muscle Map with resources and assignments you can do in your own time.

    • This lets you start quietly, confidently and intentionally applying these new skills in the context of your day-to-day.

    • Nothing builds muscle like repetition!

    02

    Customized Tools 
    • Walk away with a proven model and tools to present and keep your audience captivated, not comatose.

    • Add To The Toolbelt: You'll learn specific techniques, tools and presentation models that will help you get to the point, tell a story and captivate an audience.

    • Build with Intention: You'll learn efficient and effective ways to build presentations that offer a clear and engaging narrative.

    • Learn how to get to the point, tell a story and captivate an audience.

    04

    Personalized Practice

    Every other week will give you extra-special, 1:1 on-camera practice and coaching that will help:

    • Get to the heart of what you want to achieve!

    • Knock down the barriers, both seen and unseen, that may be in your way.

    • Let you see your progress in real-time.

    We're taking applications now for the 2025 cohorts!

    Calling all Women*

    We all have different scenarios where we are called to speak. This program is for Any Woman* who wants greater influence in the way they communicate, across a range of situations:  

    BE MORE PERSUASIVE IN SELLING YOUR IDEAS/PROGRAMS/PRODUCTS

    HANDLE THAT TOUGH CONVERSATION WITH CALM CLARITY & SAY WHAT NEEDS TO BE SAID

    YOUR CONFIDENT PRESENCE COMMUNICATES THAT YOU'RE READY FOR A NEW ROLE/LEVEL

    YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY, DAMMIT. We can help you build it.

    NO FEAR WHEN YOU HEAR "HEY, WE NEED YOU TO DO THIS PRESENTATION..."

    INFLUENCE YOUR AUDIENCE TO DO MORE THAN JUST HEAR YOUR WORDS:
    INSPIRE & ENGAGE

    KNOW HOW TO *DRIVE* A CONVERSATION/SPEAKING SITUATION, NOT JUST BE A PASSENGER

    GAIN GREATER INFLUENCE IN YOUR PROFESSIONAL & PERSONAL SPACES

    *Let's Talk: Women

    The program is specifically designed for women, which means ALL women: disabled, women of color, non-binary and LGBTQIA+women. This is because women face a unique set of challenges in the workplace, and as we work with you to find your Uncommon/Confidence, it's vital to create a safe space to talk about what it takes to overcome the all-too-common barriers that exist for women in the workplace.

    True behavior change requires more than just practice—we want you to bring your whole self to this experience. That means creating a safe environment in which to grow.

    The In-Person Version

    We took this show on the road - to Italy! In this condensed, in-person version of the Uncommon/Confidence program, owning-the-damn-stage actually meant owning-the-whole-damn-Colosseum...

    Where does the "Applied" come in?

    In between cohort sessions, you'll follow a Speaker Muscle Map (TM) - with resources and assignments you can do in your own time so you can start quietly and confidently applying these new skills in the context of your day-to-day. The context will differ for each member, which in and of itself serves as a learning opportunity for everyone else. 

    The program is most effective if you have content you want to practice with. That can be a current, past or future presentation, a difficult conversation or even team meeting dynamics.
