THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I CREATED THE BIG TALK ACADEMY...
for you.
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.
THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I CREATED THE BIG TALK ACADEMY...
for you.
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.

Get step-by-step support in writing and delivering a powerful talk that speaks to the heart of your ideal audience and inspires action—so you walk on stage with total command of the material. No more second-guessing, creating in a vacuum, or asking your friends for feedback… (again).

“The thorough, but simple process that Tricia guided us through — from finding our idea all the way through to writing and performing a really air-tight speech — ended leading me not only to discover a previously vague idea that had been waiting to be articulated but delivered me to the finish line with a powerful speech on this topic and also, a concrete and huge vision of the entire next phase of my career.”
