"Speaking up or talking in front of people has never been my default or comfort zone. But now I feel more genuinely called to share"
I’m grateful to finally share a part of my journey. The Speaking & Influence Mastery with Eric Edmeades has been the most profound and truly life-changing learning experience I’ve ever had, and it shifted the way I think about the power of stories and how they can be used—when shared in the right way and the right moment. A little fun fact about me—I’m an introvert by soul 😉 Speaking up or talking in front of people has never been my default or comfort zone. But now I feel more genuinely called to share insights that can help the people listening. Instead of draining me, this story-based approach gave me more confidence to talk in front of others—with more joy, ease and hopefully reach more people in a way that matters. What I appreciate so much about Mindvalley is the way they bring the best of the best teachers and make them accessible. And in addition, I’m truly grateful to Vishen for making world-class mentorship available at an affordable price—so we can learn from exceptional educators without it feeling distant or out of reach. Thank you, Eric Edmeades, for the wisdom and heart behind your work. I’ve found this training not just incredibly informative, but transformational in a very human way—different from any other journey I’ve ever taken, reminding me that stories, shared the right way, really can change the speaker just as much as the listener.
With appreciation and gratitude, Mariela
