Dearest visionaries, artists, founders, executives and healers:
Would you like to experience what it feels like to be on stage or on camera, fully you in the moment, talking about things that matter, holding the energy in the space, and bringing people to tears?
I invite you into being your most grounded and ready self, understanding and sharing your core message, and holding the energy of a large group of people—without following a formula that makes you sound the same as everyone else.
~ Why You Might Take This Course ~ Your Calling ~
This course may be for you if:
You are a visionary, artist, founder, executive or healer
You want more for this world than what currently is, and/or you know you have a life purpose (even if you can’t put it into words yet)
You don’t resonate with the problem-solution structure that sounds like every other talk or reel
You want your speaking to be great, not simply good
You value cocreativity, respect, responsibility, and power-with
You want to nourish and be nourished by your work and your audience
In fact, you want to be in love with your work and your audience
You want to empower your audience with practical hope and in turn be empowered by them
You want to develop your own unique style over time
You want to learn with an accomplished public speaker and influencer who developed her own unconventional and effective style
Or, this course may not be for you if:
Your work is just a job and doesn’t provide you with a sense of purpose
You want to copy your favourite speakers’ formulas or be told exactly what to do
You want access to lists of predefined hooks, structures, topics or points
You love focused simplicity, linear thinking, or single-metric optimization over context and relationships
You value selling over generosity and collective reciprocity
You aren’t open to ritual, social neuroscience and radical cocreation being used in writing and sharing
