The Stage Effect

"Inspired by Eric's teachings, I confidently delivered a 20-minute talk to business owners without tension or apprehension"

My journey towards a desire to speak on stage began in Verona, where I visited a Roman stage. Standing atop it, I closed my eyes and envisioned the crowd's exhilaration and energy. This dream lingered in the recesses of my mind, waiting to manifest. However, self-doubt and concerns about my worth toward my audience held me back. The fear of muting in panic and stumbling over muddled words was a constant companion.
Joining Eric's program, "The Stage Effect," was a step taken without expectations, driven by a willingness to uncover the right formula. Upon completion, I discovered that this so-called formula was hidden within me. Only I could step forward and share my life stories. The Hindsight Window was a revelation, simplifying what I had long complicated. With a newfound structure, I assembled my Signature Talk in a couple of hours—a delightful surprise. Now armed with a visual and skeletal framework, I can craft any talk effortlessly.
The timing of this program was perfect. Inspired by Eric's teachings, I confidently delivered a 20-minute talk to business owners without tension or apprehension. It ran smoothly, evoking tears of joy upon receiving positive feedback. A listener expressed gratitude, saying, "Thank you so much, Sofia! I felt like you were speaking to all of us and yet, all of us individually. That is such a beautiful gift. ❤️ Thank you for sharing your story."
This awareness affirmed my self-worth—I am good enough, and people want to listen to me. I realized I didn't need slides to convey my message effectively. This marked my first talk without slides, despite having delivered hundreds in corporate and since starting my business.
I wholeheartedly recommend this program to anyone with a desire to speak in public. It opens your eyes to the barriers holding you back, allowing you to be your best self. Whether you have a clear message or are still discovering it, this program is a must. 
 Thank you to the Stage Effect community for their incredible support. It is truly extraordinary. 
 And a heartfelt thank you to Eric for generously sharing his inspiring gifts with us.
