Speaking Academy

"After the training, I spoke at around eight conferences and I gave my first TEDx talk"

The Speaking Academy became an amazing blend of personal transformation and practical public speaking skills. Eric guided us through a journey of self-discovery, confidence building, and understanding our personal stories. He taught us how these stories can be applied to any talk we give. This has been of tremendous value. 
After the Speaking Academy, my whole world of speaking has opened up. I spoke at around eight conferences, and just recently, I gave my first TEDx talk. This has been a dream of mine for a long time, and I clearly attribute it to the Speaking Academy. It has provided me with so much value, many skills, and significant transformation along the way. 
Over the five days, I also met amazing friends who gave me feedback, supported me, and with whom I'm still in touch today. I gained both practical skills and personal transformation throughout the process.
