The Big Talk Academy™ has been created for busy people. It's designed to take you through Tricia's proven process, while allowing for your process. This process literally takes 10 minutes a day. And each email will lay out how much time you need to spend per lesson. You can go through the program the way Tricia has designed it or batch the week's work on the weekend. Your call. Overwhelm is not part of this program. Lessons are bite-sized, delivered daily and meant to eliminate overwhelm and get to the goal of finishing your big talk and being ready to perform it.

Will I get lost in the sea of the speakers?

Community is one of the values of The Big Talk Academy™ along with inclusion. Every voice matters in this program, whether you are a ten-time TEDx speaker or someone who's never taken a stage. And Tricia and her team make everyone's voices heard in the Facebook Group and on the group calls. Everyone is seen and heard in The Big Talk Academy™.

Is there a refund offered?

All purchases are final. We do not offer refunds on this program. We guarantee that if you do the work, you will walk away with a fully realized big talk and have a gorgeous reel. Plus, once you see the content you cannot unsee it, and this is Tricia's IP that she has spent years perfecting in service of your influential voice.

Do I get any 1:1 time with Tricia?

Yes and No—this program is a group program; however, on the group Zoom calls, when you submit your questions ahead of time, Tricia will answer those first before opening it up to the live group call. And in Week 12 while you are in-person in NYC, you'll be receiving direct one-on-one feedback from Tricia.

What can I expect from the in-person component of the program?

The in-person component of The Big Talk Academy™ is a transformative experience that will take your speaking skills to the next level. On November 5th, 6th, and 7th, 2024, you'll travel to New York City for an unforgettable three-day event.

During this time, you'll have the opportunity to rehearse your talk live on stage with Tricia's expert guidance and feedback. This invaluable experience will help you fine-tune your delivery, presence, and impact, ensuring that you're fully prepared to captivate any audience.

In addition to the live rehearsals, our professional production team will be on hand to film your performance, providing you with a high-quality speaker reel that showcases your skills and sets you apart from the competition.

But that's not all. On November 7th, you'll also have the chance to attend an exclusive Mix & Mingle event, where Tricia will invite her inner circle of producers, thought leaders, and event organizers to meet with you and your fellow attendees. This incredible networking opportunity can open doors to new speaking engagements, collaborations, and partnerships that can take your career to new heights.

How many times have you stopped short of delivering your biggest idea because you doubted whether you could effectively convey it as passionately as you feel it?

How many times have you sat in front of your computer, wishing you had a framework to support the writing process?

An overwhelming majority of my speakers experience massive fear before we work together, whether they’re prepping for the TEDx stage, The Speaker Salon, or other important stages they routinely take.

You are here today because...

You are ready for more. More impact, more money, more clients, more stages. You are already experienced as a speaker and/or leader in your field, and desire to elevate, amplify and accelerate your impact.

At your core, you come from a deep place of service, and are passionate about your message. But you haven’t quite hit the mark yet with your talk. So you feel out of alignment, even out of integrity. Or, you don’t know where to start.

You’ve been working at the surface level, and know there’s something deeper you want to express. You just don’t yet know how to get to it.

Your pitches aren’t landing. You’re tired of hearing NO, or worse—nothing.

You're a good speaker. In your heart, however, you know that you are operating at a fraction of the level you can.

You feel discouraged, and you can’t see the right next step to fulfill your dream of global impact. You either don’t know where to begin or are overwhelmed by information and competing options.
