Speaking Academy

"My communication with my team improved a lot. I learned how to deliver my strategy and vision in a way that inspires others"

The Speaking Academy was definitely one of the most profound experiences of my life. Not only did I learn how to be a better speaker and how to tell a story, but I also learned and understood what my core message is—what I want to bring out into the world. 
I remember during the conference, it was very difficult. I was struggling to find this message. Every time I needed to tell a story, I would feel that it wasn’t right—that it wasn’t it yet. Eric pushed us in a way that we didn’t even notice, but in the end, I felt more authentic. I felt like I had found my message. 
Last year was full of different opportunities. I was able to speak at more than 20 events, delivering my breathwork sessions. I also did my first TEDx talk, and people started inviting me to festivals and other events. 
The Speaking Academy also helped me in my daily life. My communication with my team improved a lot since then. I learned how to deliver my strategy and vision in a way that inspires others. It’s simple, but it’s also improved the efficiency of the team in the end. 
So, definitely, the Speaking Academy is one of those experiences you do once in a lifetime, and you’re grateful for it forever.
