Our students find our course environment to feel supportive, encouraging, responsive, spacious, calming, in tune, powerful and revolutionary. I developed and used this method while public speaking full time and was featured in the Financial Times, BBC and others, and then used it to raise four rounds from investors like Evolve and IDEO.

Hi everyone, I teach a new paradigm for public speaking that is based in connection--not in shocking, stressing or impressing the audience. I traveled for three years speaking full time and was featured in the Financial Times, Guardian, and others, and that's when I developed this methodology. I also used it to raise four rounds of venture capital. I've just taught it for the first time, and the students found each of the six sessions "mind-blowing" (not sure how I kept up that pace for six sessions but it did happen!), and their talks following the course were each uniquely deep and beautiful and different from each other, and each talk felt like the person giving it. I'm giving a workshop that teaches the basics of this method, this Monday 7PM at Pluto, 60 Sumach St. It's $11-$33 sliding scale, and if the cost is still a factor for you please don't hesitate to DM and we can work something out. I'd love to see you there. https://lu.ma/fullyme002workshop
