"I spoke on stage without a script and spoke from the heart in front of 4,000 people"

Before joining the public speaking training with Eric, I used to feel so uncomfortable to speak, even in small group settings. 
Public speaking gave me anxiety, and I just wanted to feel a little bit of comfort, even when I did presentations at work. When I joined the training, I thought I was signing up for tools on how to give a better presentation. But I was so wrong.
The exercises were so deep and transformational that every single day, we were pushed outside of our comfort zone in ways I did not expect. That really changed everything for me.
Six months after the training, I got the opportunity to speak on a Mindvalley stage in front of a thousand people. I received a standing ovation, something I never thought was possible for me. Ever since then, I’ve taken the stage multiple times, speaking in front of thousands of people.
Actually, this year, I took on a new challenge: I spoke on stage without a script and spoke from the heart in front of 4,000 people.
That’s just a glimpse of how powerful this training is. 

Truly and honestly, the public speaking training with Eric didn’t just teach me how to become a better speaker, it showed me who I can become. I cannot recommend it enough.
