• Does public speaking or calling yourself a “speaker,” “storyteller," or a “writer” freak you out? Yet also intrigue you?


• Do you have stories or thoughts you want to share publicly?


• Do you feel like you don't have stories or thoughts others would want to hear but you’d like to explore?


• Do you want to improve your content, from what you say to what you show (e.g. slides)?


• Do you want to feel more comfortable and confident in the spotlight?

“I don't really have a fear of speaking so I was a little uncertain about signing up. I do, however, feel slightly paralyzed when it comes to developing content that is substantial and resonates with an audience. This class gave me great tips and tools to begin to develop my content. It was also great to bounce ideas off my classmates. Looking forward to part 2!”

 

Saya’s been self-employed since 2004 (after getting fired) via her business Mac & Cheese Productions℠. Without spending any money on marketing or incurring debt, she found a way to cobble together a career that beautifully, organically, and randomly meshes her skills and interests. She had $300 in savings when she started her business and has no training in anything she does, choosing to DIY and figure it out as she goes. There was no blueprint and instead of that paralyzing Saya, it invigorated her and since Day 1, she’s been harnessing and adapting the magic that is entrepreneurialism, including a speaking career that includes numerous keynotes and a TEDx. She still hasn’t figured it all out and probably never will but she has figured out a variety of things and those things just happen to be sources of terror for many.
