I created the outline of my signature talk, clarified my core through-line, and learnt how to express my ideas in a way that lands emotionally and logically.
I now have a reliable architecture for any talk, from 3 minutes to 45 minutes. The mindset of always being ready to get on stage. Openings that hook, middles that carry weight, and endings that actually make people feel something.
I built a bank of point-stories I can now use anywhere. Five months ago, I had stories. Now I have stories that work.
I gained a much deeper understanding of how people listen, what makes ideas memorable, and how to shape emotional flow without manipulation.
I created a polished podcast pitch, speaker bio, the beginnings of a speaker one-sheet, and built a clear catalogue of topics that represent who I am as a speaker.
I attended Speaking Academy, I practised live, and I pushed myself with real feedback, real vulnerability, and real growth moments. My 3-minute talk on guilt got rebuilt into something punchy, logical, and moving.
Five months ago, I was a speaker with a (not always clear) message, still sometimes afraid to get on stage. Today, I’m a speaker with a message, a structure, a system, and the confidence to actually influence a room.
