Hey there, Speaker!

You’re brilliant. Talented. Passionate. You’re already successful, and now you desire more. You are ready to own being a great speaker!


• And yet, sometimes you question how it’s going to happen.

• You are a speaker in your mind and heart. You are an influential voice.

• You have an abundance of valuable ideas.

• You have a deep, white-hot desire to effect lasting transformation in your audience.

• You are a speaker in your mind and heart. You are an influential voice.

• You have an abundance of valuable ideas.

• You have a deep, white-hot desire to effect lasting transformation in your audience.

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.

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

for you.

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.

The obstacles can seem insurmountable when you don’t have a soft place to land among people who support you, not compete with you. A mentor and peers who intimately understand the pitfalls and opportunities of the speaking world. Or guidance from an expert who knows the exact steps to develop and deliver your Big Talk and get you on the big stages of your dreams. (Three guesses on where you can find all of the above)

During this 12-week virtual intensive and certification program, you'll:

  • Overcome your fear and self-doubt, and build the confidence that captivates your audience by mastering your mindset, the art of performance, and rehearsal techniques (including memorization!)—so you always feel prepared when taking the stage.

  • Craft an unforgettable, signature big talk that you’re ready to deliver when you are asked to speak the day after you’re certified. That’s how prepared you’ll be. Getting this certification is part of the Big Talk Academy.

  • Receive laser-focused guidance on uncovering the right, most impactful idea for your next Big Talk. Whether it’s your first, second, or tenth talk, you’ll receive the tools, techniques, and resources you need to hone in on the most effective elements of your story and message.

  • 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).

  • Have the opportunity to “open mic night” your talk, speak in front of an audience, vetting topics and approaches with an expert’s feedback and input from a circle of speakers with your same commitment to mission, values and purpose.

The Big Talk Approach

THE FOUNDATION IS BUILT FROM THE INSIDE OUT. YOUR TALK WILL BECOME THE FOUNDATION TO MAKE YOU FREE ON ANY AND ALL STAGES.

If you walk onto a stage and you’re not clear on who you are, there’s a disconnect. The audience won’t trust you, even if they can’t say why.

It is only when we take the time to self-actualize, to dive deep and connect with our purpose, that’s when real change happens. It often means touching the raw beating heart of what we experienced.

This is our approach at The Big Talk. Your Big Talk is built from the inside out. No shortcuts. This gives you with a talk that leaves lasting legacy.

This deep, transformational space is not for the faint of heart.

Who Is a Good Fit?

If you resonate with all we’ve said so far… You are.

The Big Talk Academy Graduates have included: students, founders, CEO’s, Mothers, survivors, Broadway actors, immigrants, teachers, entrepreneurs, authors, TEDx speakers, psychologists, dentists and doctors.

WEEK ONE: MINDSET

__________________________________________________________

We start with mindset at The Big Talk Academy because being a powerful speaker is more than just saying words. We teach you how to have a lasting legacy.

  • You are going to learn how to increase your confidence.

  • I’m going to teach you how to coexist with fear.

  • I’m going to guide you away from any limiting beliefs.

WEEK TWO: IDEA GENERATOR

__________________________________________________________

Inside this lesson, I’m going to take you on a journey of exploration.

  • You will generate 100 ideas. (One will be used for your talk, and the others will be repurposed for blogs, Facebook lives and maybe even your book)

  • This creative exercise will push you past what you think you know

  • You will move into a space of mind-blowing and fresh ideas, that you never even know you had.

  • You will move into a space of mind-blowing and fresh ideas, that you never even know you had.

WEEK THREE: QUANTIFYING IDEAS

__________________________________________________________

How do you know what ideas are great? How do you know what ideas are fresh and unique? How do you know which idea is the most impactful and why?

  • Learn what questions to ask, so that you land on the ONE BIG idea that will have global impact and why.

  • Get clarity on your idea and its purpose so you have the kind of impact you desire.

  • Determine the freshness of the idea from your point of view. Because there is only one you.

WEEK FOUR: WRITING

__________________________________________________________

Sitting down to your computer or notebook can feel daunting. Guess what? We all start in the same place. We all start with a blank page. I’m going to give you the tools to…

  • Become consistent with your writing process.

  • Two proven methods that will assist you in generating fresh content every day for one week.

  • You are going to be accountable.

  • Your writing muscle will be flexed and become strong, so you can flex in again and again. Support during your process and the accountability to follow through.

WEEK FIVE: KEYNOTE VERSUS TED-STYLE TALKS

__________________________________________________________

If you are not clear on which talk you desire to write, I’m going to help you determine which one is right for you and your business.

  • Become familiar with the different styles of talks

  • Create the product you desire

  • Understand the impact of both.

WEEK SIX-TEN: PERFORMANCE SKILLS

__________________________________________________________

Broadway actors do 8 shows a week. They have to show up for each one as if it’s their first. I mean the audience is seeing the show for the first time, not the 8th, right? This means you need to have skills, a technique to be able to always be captivating on stage. I’m going to teach you…

  • The Technique of Objective and Action. Determine what you want and relentlessly go after it, so that you can stop hoping you are good and guarantee you are always great.

  • You are also going to learn how to memorize so that you have freedom on stages to play.

  • You are going to learn how to seize their attention from the second you begin speaking.

  • You will have a clear understanding of how to wrap up for that standing ovation

WEEK ELEVEN: THE ART OF PITCHING

__________________________________________________________

Once you have your perfect, polished product, you are going to need to be able to pitch it to decision-makers. They are looking for a certain language and I’m going to teach it to you.

  • Apply to events with confidence and clarity.

  • Get an opportunity to go through my application process for feedback.

  • Receive the scripts you need to save time in pitching, so you can get busy speaking.

  • Learn how to negotiate your fee and become a paid speaker.

What Our Academy Members Have To Say...

“[Tricia Brouk] took us through this incredible process, where you have tools and clear actions so you were always moving forward.”

SUSAN ECKSTEIN

Transformational Coach and Speaker

“I didn’t think I could come up with a hundred ideas, but each and every one of us did. And surprisingly, out of that 100 ideas... the one that I ended up choosing to be my Big Talk was something totally different from what I thought I was going to talk about initially. That is the number one thing that blew me away.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I get any 1:1 time with Tricia?

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, the way Tricia works, when she’s coaching someone else, and answering questions, you will often learn more than you would when you are being coached.

How much time is this going to take from my life?

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 6-10 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 daily meant to eliminate overwhelm and get to the goal, 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 Big Talk Academy’s values 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.

HESTITATING? HAVE QUESTIONS?

I get it.

I know you’re scared. That’s normal. Transformation is not for the faint of heart.

More than one Big Talk Academy alum has come back with stories of how this work changed their lives. (You can read more of their stories below.)

Many of them reached this decision point and also felt terrified.

But here's what you need to ask yourself:

What changes if you join the Big Talk Academy?

What changes if you don’t?

What do you miss out on if you join us?

And what do you miss out on if you don’t?

Here’s what I know for sure… Every success story, every radiant Big Talk Academy alum who shared the wins I listed above and more, began with a YES. Began with an investment (and belief) in themselves.

None of it can happen… until you commit and say YES.

You can do this. I believe in you. I am here for you, along with the rest of this amazing Big Talk community. We all are.

The world needs your Big Talk.

I can’t wait to see you on the other side.

Big love, Tricia
