Speaking Academy

This is a Life-Changing event!

I arrived at Speaking Academy expecting a skills-development intensive — a place to refine my craft and become a better speaker. What I received was so much more. 
It was a life-changing adventure that invited me to peel back all the carefully constructed layers I’d built over the years and reconnect with the truth of who I am. It helped me find my voice, reclaim my story, and remember the power that has always lived inside me.
Eric is pure magic. He holds you with such tenderness while challenging you with such fierce love that you cannot help but evolve. In five days, you don’t just become a better speaker. You become a NEW human. 
Everything in this experience is intentionally designed to guide you back to your essence. The incredible team that supports your unfolding, the masterfully curated tribe that walks by your side, the laughter, the dance, the tears… all of it gently unravels you until only your truth remains.
You leave remembering that your story matters. That your life carries meaning. That every single one of us holds something unique that can uplift, inspire, and heal others — and that when we share from the heart, we help change the world.
To Vishen — thank you from the bottom of my heart for gifting me this experience. Your generosity opened a door that forever changed my life, and I’m deeply grateful for the way you champion growth, courage, and human transformation.
I genuinely wish everyone could experience this. Speaking Academy isn’t only for speakers. It’s for anyone who wants to grow, to open, to step into their fullness, and to become a better human.

"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...

"From a strategic standpoint, understanding how to build a presentation using stories has been a huge learning experience"

I didn’t really have the skills or the tools to be the kind of mom I really wanted to be. So, when Eric asked me, “What’s your why?” the answer that came to me was, “I want to learn to communicate with my son in a way that I wasn’t able to before.” I’m an entrepreneur at heart. I’m a...
