Everything you need to Give better Talks to bigger audiences (For free or for a fee)

Whether you plan to speak for free to drive marketing results, charge a fee to generate direct revenue, or both, this accelerator has been built to address the hidden elements of the public speaking business and craft which our peers tend to ignore—but which the pros reliably use to deliver incredible speeches and drive measurable results.

“Transformative in a way I didn’t expect.”

Most talks are blog posts with a run time.

Your talk will stir hearts and engage minds.

How the Program works:

Before kickoff:

60-minute 1:1 with Jay: together, we’ll develop your ideas + speech structure

Getting Results from Your Speaking: you’ll also access a learning module containing everything you need to set a smarter strategy, set pricing (if you charge a fee), pitch events, and generate follow-on opportunities from talks.

After kickoff: 4 Modules across 8 weeks

We’ll focus on the most important things which have the biggest impact on your speaking, a you learn, write, perform, and improve* week to week.

*To improve, you can submit recorded rehearsals to Jay for personalized video notes and/or attend group coaching calls

Weeks 1 and 2: Premise + Structure

Weeks 3 and 4: Storytelling

Weeks 5 and 6: Openers

Weeks 7 and 8: Closers

Final Showcase + Celebration

The bar is SO low to give great talks.

You will leap over it.

From scattered thinking ➡️ to focused message.

From passive audience ➡️ to passionate fans.

From “wall of smarts” talks ➡️ to powerful presentations

Next Cohort Begins Sept. 8

Watch Jay in-Action

Curious about my ideas, speaking, or coaching approach? Watch these videos!

For the last few years, I've spent most of my time coaching and consulting dozens of entrepreneurs, consultants, creators, business authors, and small business owners to help them package and communicate their expertise for impact. That means messaging, speaking, and thought leadership, with a big idea we develop and they eventually own in the market. I help others compete on the impact of their ideas, NOT the volume of their marketing. When you matter more, you need to hustle for attention less.

I've also partnered with brands like Salesforce, Mailchimp, Wistia, and GoDaddy to help improve their storytelling. 

Most speaker trainings pose 2 problems for business communicators and leaders:

1. We feel too pulled away from the "real" work. We have so much going on that we can't hit pause and go learn or practice, and we're also worried most speaker trainings aren't tailored for (A) the business world and (B) producing the work DURING the training. So we have some fun (or maybe cringe) doing group exercises, but we haven't made tangible progress on actual work ... all while we're stressed about taking time away from the rest of our jobs.

2. We aren't well-served by most trainings, which emphasize the extremes. Most individuals and orgs focus on beginners (i.e. the fear of speaking) or outliers (paid keynote speakers; execs and celebs addressing huge audiences constantly, with massive stakes each time). The thing is, you aren't a beginner. You're a professional communicator. But you're also not spending much time thinking about all the talks you'll give this quarter to 20,000 attendees or millions of viewers.

This accelerator is tailor-made for business builders using speaking as a powerful marketing approach, but not a career path

FAQ’s

Do I need to attend live? What if I have conflicts?

Everything will be recorded, and all video lessons (except Week 1) happens entirely asynchronously via email too. The most important live element are the office hours to get questions answered and workshop materials with me.

When Are Coaching Calls Scheduled?

I do my best to spread the coaching calls across days of the week and various times, to ensure coverage across time zones and also busy schedules. All coaching calls are recorded too, so you’ll be able to learn from others’ drafts and questions.

Is this for paid speakers or speaking for free to drive leads?

Both! Past registrants have included paid professional speakers, business builders who speak for free in support of their marketing, and people who do both. There’s an entire Strategy Module in our Accelerator HQ which has you covered for all things marketing, selling, pricing/negotiating your speaker fee (if you’d like to quote a fee and/or raise your existing rate). That said, this accelerator primarily focuses on the foundational, transformational elements of public speaking and crafting your signature speech, which too few professionals understand or master.

What’s your refund policy?

I understand circumstances may change, and so I offer registrants a refund up to 7 days prior to kickoff, in the amount of your full registration fee minus a 25% admin fee. After that time passes, I do not offer refunds. (This policy is voided if we have our 1:1 together prior to kickoff.)

The Next cohort starts Sept 8.

We can swap emails or even schedule a call

I will NOT push you to attend. Unhappy registrants hurt my business. (Also? My heart.) If you contact me, I’ll be honest with you. Maybe the intensive isn’t right for you, maybe it is, or maybe it’s right for you but just not at this time.

Contact me, and we can either swap emails or set up a 10-min call.
