LIVE ✦ 90-MINUTE VIRTUAL WORKSHOP
The Art of Speaking
Your life’s work matters, and you deserve to share it with the world in a way that connects with and changes people.
OVERVIEW
Learn to speak with meaning and impact.
You already speak — or plan to — at conferences, in front of donors, at all-hands meetings, on panels. But you can feel when the room drifts, when your point gets lost, and that maybe the impact you were hoping that your life’s work would make has room to grow.
You don't need another presentation-skills class. Find the one idea at the center of your life’s work, find the right storytelling structure, and empower a life skill for any stage you stand on. Whether it's a keynote, a funding pitch, a town hall, or a toast — this is how great talks are built.

For anyone who stands up and needs the room to follow.
Leaders & Founders
All-hands, board updates, investor pitches — you need the meaning to land, not just the metrics.
Advocates & Organizers
You speak to donors and rooms that need to feel why it matters before they act. Story is your lever.

Conference talks, panels, keynotes — you have deep expertise and want a repeatable way to share it to make a greater impact.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN
A reusable framework
you carry with you.
Taught by Executive Speaker Coaches with deep analysis and expertise of how to create of the best talks ever given and handed to you in a structure you can use again and again.
Find your throughline — the idea at the heart of your life's work
The one central idea inside everything you know, so you stop trying to say it all and start saying the thing that matters.
The story arc that makes a message land emotionally
The archetypal shapes behind great talks, and how to choose the one that fits your idea and your voice.
Make your point, weave your story, land a call to action
A simple, repeatable structure for any 8–15 minute talk, pitch, or message — so the shape does the work for you.
Why talks lose people — and how to fix each one
The most common ways speakers drift into the weeds, bury the lede, or bore the room, with the fix for each.
A framework you keep for good
Carry it into keynotes, fundraisers, conference talks, board presentations, and beyond. Learn it once; use it for life.

Good things to know
-
No. We start from your expertise and work toward the throughline together. You'll leave with the idea and the structure — the writing comes easily once those are clear.
-
Not at all. The framework works for any 6–18 minute talk, pitch, or message — keynotes, fundraisers, board presentations, conference talks, even a toast. Learn it once; use it everywhere.
-
Every session is recorded and transcribed. Register anyway and you'll receive the full recording and transcript to work through on your own time.
-
The craft overlaps, but the lens differs. The Art of Speaking is built for any stage you stand on; Discovering Your TEDx Talk focuses that same method on idea talks and the TEDx application path. Many people take both.
-
Yes. We run private workshops for teams, leadership groups, and nonprofits, tailored to the rooms your people actually speak in. Reach out and we'll design it with you.
