The Stage Effect

"The biggest positive change I’ve noticed is the freedom from rigid preparations and the ability to adapt in the moment"

Before this Quest, even as a public speaking trainer, I found myself needing slides and cue cards to stay focused, remember my points, and manage time effectively. I'd go through countless dry runs to ensure I covered everything and didn't miss a single detail. 
After taking this Quest, I feel an incredible sense of confidence and freedom. I was able to deliver two sessions on the same topic, adapting different stories and adjusting the timing according to the organizers’ needs—all without slides or cue cards. Using the techniques from this program, especially the Speech Map method, completely transformed my approach. It’s a revolutionary tool that’s allowed me to communicate smoothly, stay organized, and keep my audience engaged effortlessly. 
As a public speaking trainer, I can confidently say this program is super beneficial, even for professionals. My top 3 takeaways from this Quest are:
 1. How to structure a talk effectively without relying on visual aids.
 2. The Speech Map technique, which has redefined how I prepare and deliver content.
 3. Techniques to engage my audience through storytelling, even when speaking back-to-back. 
The biggest positive change I’ve noticed is the freedom from rigid preparations and the ability to adapt in the moment. It’s been an empowering experience that’s opened up a new level of confidence in my public speaking, and I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to enhance their speaking skills.
