Stop fighting your nerves - start harnessing them.

Public speaking shouldn’t be a battle with yourself. Join us to transform high-stakes anxiety into peak-performance excitement. Led by accomplished actors and coaches Sarah Kolasky and Lindsay Leese, you’ll master the exact tools performers use to thrive under pressure.

The secret? There is no “right” way to look or sound. There is only you, at your best, finding the joy in the moment.

Whether it’s a keynote or a sales pitch, this 3-hour interactive workshop moves beyond "perfection" to help you find genuine confidence. Using science-backed techniques for the body, voice, and mind, you’ll learn to conquer imposter syndrome and truly connect with your audience.

The Focused Flow System

Our four-pillar approach supports you through the entire speaking journey:

  1. Prep Like a Performer: Reframe mindset pitfalls and learn strategies to build a genuine connection to your words and your audience before you even speak.
  2. The Moment Before: Apply acting techniques to release stress and "drop into" your most confident self moments before you start.
  3. The Performance: Find your "flow" - staying grounded, focused, and resilient. Learn to handle Q&As and pivots with ease.
  4. The Recovery: Effectively release post-speech adrenaline and turn your experience into constructive growth for the next time.

Space is limited. Join an intimate group (max 16) to get personalized feedback and leave ready to own your next presentation.
