LEARN HOW TO BECOME AN EFFECTIVE PUBLIC SPEAKER

There are tons of courses out there (both in person and online) that teach public speaking. Some offer several hours of video, others offer an ebook. What I offer is an easy-to-follow 6 step process complete with worksheets that you can use again and again for any speech you give. Presentation at work? Use the process. Conference talk? Use the process. No more starting from scratch for every speech. Not only that, but you can become a member of a private community of like-minded people who all want to improve their public speaking - the Teach the Geek to Speak Society.

Endorsements

Karen S.

I feel more relaxed about [public speaking]; maybe even a little excited to try some things out. I used to think there was an absolute way of doing a speech right, but now I see that there are probably infinite ways of doing a speech right.

Mark F.

I picked up some good pointers and feel I will be more confident next time I need to give a talk in public.

Michael C.

Your course helped me to understand a better way to approach [public speaking] and it makes me feel more at ease. You made it more down to earth and easier to understand.

Get started

You won’t regret it!

When I worked as an engineer, I struggled with public speaking, inundating my audience with data, graphs, charts, and every buzzword that I could muster. “We need to shift the paradigm with this disruptive technology, which, at the end of the day, is sure to gain traction by year’s end.” Maybe I wasn’t THAT insufferable!

I thought I had to use jargon to get my point across and to hide the fact that I was sweating entire oceans under my shirt. I had to grab the audience's attention, but didn’t know how. I never prepared for speeches, but always wondered why they never went as well as I had hoped. Through trial and error, constructive feedback, and self-reflection, I developed a process that helped me get much better at giving speeches that got results. No more staring into space.

I want to help you, too. 

Teach the Geek to Speak will cover what you need to know to become an effective public speaker. Someone who people will put down their phones to listen to. I cover:

  • Keeping the audience in mind

  • Visualization

  • Eye contact

  • Filler words

  • Seeking feedback

  • And much more!

Here’s my promise to you: If you follow the process, use the worksheets, and do the exercises, your public speaking will improve or your money back – no questions asked.


Public speaking is the #1 fear of most people. Let Teach the Geek to Speak help you take that fear off your list.
