A Public Speaking Journey for Entrepreneurs and People With A Mission

CLICK HERE for info on SELL IT WITH A STORY: 3 Saturdays to Craft a Story that Sells

Find your POWER and PRESENCE as a speaker,
EXPAND your audience and INSPIRE them to action.

  • Do you ever find yourself in the audience thinking “Hey! That should be me up there!”
  • Do you break out in a sweat, get tongue tied, feel your heart pounding and want to run the other direction when asked to speak or give an elevator speech?
  • Want to feel more connected to yourself and your audience, but you crawl out of your skin when it’s your turn to talk?
  • Do you feel deeply passionate about your work, but when you speak, it comes out flat?
  • Maybe you’re comfortable speaking, but any vulnerability is way outside your comfort zone.

For 15 years I’ve been helping people speak in public in spite of the fear that tells them not to. I’ve worked with entrepreneurs, business execs, adolescent girls, and incarcerated women. I also have my own story of silencing my voice and being terrified of speaking.

Over and over, I have witnessed the transformative power of SPEAKING YOUR TRUTH.

There’s nothing like standing in front of a room, sweating buckets and shaking with nerves, praying the allotted time would just be over – your mind blank, painfully separate from everyone and everything around you. The speech ends and you wonder how you missed the whole thing.

Yep. Nothing like it.  It’s no fun at all and no wonder so many people are so terrified of public speaking. Who would want to do that?

 

You hold back your true message…afraid it’s not “right”

              …afraid others will laugh or ridicule you

                        …afraid you don’t have what it takes

                                   …afraid that what you have to say doesn’t really matter – no one cares.

 

You procrastinate until the cows come home

               …knowing speaking is the #1 way to reach more clients

                          …knowing the cost of NOT speaking is huge

                                    …knowing your passion and smarts could knock the socks off your audience


But you never get around to getting that speech written
and getting those gigs booked
because there’s always something else to do.


Yet there’s nothing like standing in front of a room
feeling confident in your message,
connected to yourself and to your audience…
delivering your message in a relaxed, powerful, fun way
that has them rushing up afterwards to say I WANT MORE!

That’s what I want for you. Every time you speak.

 

What’s important is who you are, what’s in your heart and what you bring to stage. That’s the first thing to go when you’re gripped in fear.

I want you to relax back into yourself and let your message SHINE so you can CONNECT with the people you’re meant to serve and do more of the work you’re meant to do.

 

A teacher of mine once said:

“The difference between a good speaker and a great speaker is 1000 speeches.”

 

He’s right. I have tons of tricks and tools and practices to share with you…and nothing’s going to change until you get up on your feet, brave the stage and PRACTICE.

That’s what this training is all about. We’re going to get you on your feet, practicing weekly, playing with voice, breath, emotion, gut-level truth, passion and dynamics.

You’ll learn how to connect with your audience and stay connected to your own heart…so you’ll be comfortable and confident in any speaking situation.

 

That’s just the start – getting you CONNECTED and CONFIDENT on stage.

‘Cause if you ain’t connected, ain’t nothin gonna budge!

For those who want to walk out of here with a talk that speaks to the heart of what you’re about – a talk that cracks open the hearts of your audience and inspires them with a vision of what’s possible…

 

…then we dive deeper – honing in on the words, the content, the heart of your message – the nuts and bolts of WHAT TO SAY…then HOW TO SAY IT so your audience is eagerly nodding at the edge of their seats, excited about what you have to offer.

 

We’ll get that powerful speech crafted, give you plenty of time to refine and fine tune, hand you a microphone, invite an audience and…

you’ll walk away with a knockout speech
you know in your bones

ready to knock the socks off your audiences and future clients.

 

And you’ll do it all surrounded by a group of other brave speakers, cheering you on and giving you high-value feedback every step of the way. You don’t have to do this alone! You’ll get it done…and get out there to do the real work you’re here to do.

Your voice matters. Your story matters.
Your message is valuable. Even if you don’t know what it is yet.
Even if you feel like someone else could say it better.
There’s a story ONLY YOU can tell.
There’s a truth ONLY YOU can speak.
It needs to be spoken in a powerful, dynamic, authentic way
BY YOU
There are people out there who need to hear it.
And believe me–It will change you.
It will change your audience.
It will change your world.
IT’S TIME.
NO MORE WAITING. NO MORE HOLDING BACK.
NO MORE KEEPING IT TO YOURSELF.


It’s time to:

 Crack through the fear that’s holding you back

Stand with CONFIDENCE to share your message with a greater audience

Speak from the heart with powerful PRESENCE and authenticity

Realize your vision for your business and your life – by being yourself and speaking your TRUTH

You in? I hope so.

 

Wednesdays 6-8:30, 3/11-5/20.

Does this sound like just what you’re looking for?

If so, schedule a free 30 minute discovery session to talk with Johanna about whether this is right for YOU.

 

“One of the scariest moments in my life was when I realized that I had something to say and being quiet wasn’t going to work anymore. Johanna’s course, Magnify Your Message, walked me through not only crafting a message I believe in, but also how to use the energy running inside me to connect with the audience. To deliver the talk to a large audience was incredible. The confidence and empowerment it has built within me will stay with me for a lifetime and extend into many more talks to come”

~Brian Coppom, Director of Boulder Farmer’s Market

“After being a Toastmaster for years, I already knew basic mechanics and skills for speech writing and delivery. Working with Johanna, I learned so much more. I learned to craft a speech from my personal stories, my unique authority, and my vulnerability. I learned to deliver it from my heart and touch the audience with my emotion. Way beyond mechanics, I learned to connect with my audience.”

~Lori Sandler, Mother and Speaker

“I wanted to create a talk in order to increase the visibility of my business. In spite of the fact that I love what I do, and love talking about what I do, figuring out what I wanted to say somehow felt like an impossible task.  Johanna’s unique approach to speech-crafting took me on a journey from confusion to clarity. Now I feel emboldened by having faced a fear, gone through a rich creative process, and having shared aspects of my being that often stay hidden.”

~Rafia Sharon Rebeck, Psychotherapist

“In my experience, Johanna carries a gift beyond what she teaches as tools, techniques, awareness, etc. She offers an essence that can take a novice or a pro into a secret, alive place within themselves that had been cordoned off…helping to set a spark of aliveness to that formerly blocked Voice of self. Go–give yourself that gift.”

~Susan Grace, artist and coach

“The talk is IN me now like never before. Your witnessing was MAGICAL. Seriously. AMAZING. I’m so grateful for your time and investment.”

~Kristen Wheeler, Founder, Native Genius Lab
