🗓️ Programme Breakdown: Step-by-Step Growth

A step-by-step journey designed to take you from fearful to fearless, hesitant to powerful, and uncertain to commanding rooms with confidence and igniting people into action.

Each workshop is carefully designed to build your speaking skills in a way that feels natural and empowering. By the end, you’ll not only feel comfortable speaking, you’ll be ready to "run your own 5k" by speaking at a live showcase event!

Just like a Couch to 5K running plan helps beginners build stamina step by step, the Speaker Academy follows a structured "training plan" to take you from hesitant to confident, one small challenge at a time.
