"It is a transformative experience"

My favorite part of the week was when I made two mistakes that I will never make again, and I’m grateful for those mistakes. I would never have learned that had I not made them. That was wonderful. 
I think the final highlight was being on stage at the final night and getting to do that. It was wonderful. 
My biggest takeaway is that I’ve had a consistent experience with Eric. My experience here was that they over-delivered, and I got so much more value than I ever could have imagined. 
Our goal was to supercharge our speaking careers so that when we get out, we can leap ahead positively. I’ve accomplished that goal. This program has given me the tools to supercharge my speaking career and, therefore, my business. 
I think all the doubts that go on in people’s heads are common. In this world of exaggeration and empty promises, I would unequivocally say that this is a no-brainer. It’s the best money we’ve spent. If you are someone who wants to advance their business through the power of speaking, I don’t know how you could cram five days into such an experience and get this much value. 
It is a transformative experience. This is the answer to learning public speaking. This is the answer.

"These 5 days gave me: confidence, clarity and courage"

Speaking Academy 2025
 5 days. 50 people. Long sessions.
 And one fear I couldn’t outrun anymore: public speaking. I walked in carrying a heavy backpack of “what ifs”:
What if I freeze? What if I mess up? What if my story isn’t enough? I’ve led teams. I’ve handled hard things.
 But speaki...
