The SPEAK UP program

Become a confident speaker, transform your presentations

After coaching 50 professionals with their presentations skills, I created SPEAK UP, a structured and practical approach to develop the 7 skills that will enable you to build confidence when speaking in public and transform your presentations into impactful and inspiring moments people will remember.

Why the SPEAK UP program?

Many professionals struggle with public speaking – however small their audience – and miss opportunities as a result. Their main pain points range from anxiety and lack of confidence, a difficulty to structure a clear message, an inability to engage an audience, or an ineffective delivery and presence. Whether it's about sharing findings from research with peers or clients, presenting a use-case during a job interview, pitching an idea to investors, or sharing learnings at an industry conference, presentation skills affect what people take-away.

The SPEAK UP program is a structured and practical approach to mastering presentations. It guides participants to develop the 7 skills that will transform their presentations into impactful ones: Structure, Purpose, Engagement, Audience, Key message, Unforgettable, Presence.

What participants will learn and achieve

By the end of the program, participants will:

Introduce themselves confidently: make a strong first impression with business partners or recruiters
Deliver a compelling 3-minute speech: craft a clear and impactful message with memorable takeaways
Understand how to design effective slides that enhance and complement their message

Participants work on their own presentations, for example: a startup pitch, a job interview introduction, a conference speech, a stakeholder presentation, a use-case presentation.

Program structure - how it works

The program is a 3 weeks trajectory of 2-hour weekly sessions during which participants will learn about the key drivers of effective presentations, put them in practice with relevant interactive exercises and receive feedback from their peers and the trainer for improvements. Individualized coaching options are available on demand.

Session 1 - Establishing the foundation of a powerful presentation

Structure:
The importance of a clear beginning, middle and closing.
Purpose:
Why you are speaking? Define the core intention.

Adapting to different listeners and understanding their needs.

Session 2 - Bringing your story to life

Key message:
The one takeaway your audience should remember

Session 3 - Mastering presence and confidence
