But you haven’t fully developed your raw talent yet, and you’re not sure where to get what you need as an emerging speaker.

the founder of the Big Talk Academy and The Big Talk Membership Community for speakers
Helping you find and use YOUR influential voice is my life’s mission.
As a speaking and performance expert with 30 years’ international award-winning experience in theater and entertainment, I come to the table with business acumen as well as an artist’s soul and a generous heart.
I made my way to New York City and pursued my dream against all odds, buoyed up by the encouragement of my dance instructor, who gave me the gift of transformational mentorship and helped me believe that I could do ANYTHING.
Now, I cultivate this same loving environment of endless creativity and possibility for the speakers I mentor.
When a friend booked a TEDx and asked me to direct it, I said yes to that, too. We did blocking, script analysis, same as for a one-woman show. My theater skills translated easily to the TED stage. I fell in love. With actors, it’s all about them; with speakers like you,
Over the next few years, I created a podcast about public speaking, got my TEDx license, started producing events and realized I’d found my purpose—without leaving my creativity or three decades of expertise in theatrical performance behind.
As an international award-winning director and Executive Producer of countless live and virtual events, in less than 4 years I’ve put more than 60 speakers onto countless TEDx stages all over the world.
Now my mission is to equip visionaries like you to cultivate your talent and become an Influential Voice, a true change-maker who stands out from the sea of paint-by-numbers speakers.
As I shepherded world-class speakers onto the planet’s most influential stages, I noticed a major gap in the training that was being offered to speakers who desire more than just fame and money.
And many of my speakers confided that they felt alone within the speaking community, where they were surrounded by big egos and lots of posturing.
I saw the need for an inclusive community of speakers with soul . . .
A community where talent would be refined and purpose ignited . . .
A community where internationally-known experts would generously give of their time and knowledge to emerging speakers . .
And so I created that community.
We are at a historic crossroads globally.
One of the most important conversations of our time, around systemic racism, diversity, representation, and equality, is happening right now.
The world is being cracked open, as all perspectives demand to be heard, acknowledged, considered, healed, and loved.
What perspective do you bring to the table? Who could you help with your story? What you say and how you say it are the legacy you leave behind.
Powerful and influential voices need to be heard, encouraging and facilitating understanding, compassion, and love—to ignite and inspire the change we so desperately need as you transform, perfect, perform and pitch.
And The Big Talk Membership Community for speakers was specifically designed to support you in speaking on worldwide platforms where your message can make the impact it deserves.

Speaking is lonely. No one can stand beside you on that stage. No one can prep for you. No one can memorize your lines or share each word with depth and emotion. It’s all you there.
But while you may be alone on the stage, in The Big Talk Membership Community for speakers, you’re never by yourself.
Knowing you have a community to turn to, one that won’t judge you but will step up when you need them, is priceless.
We’re there for each other, whether it’s sharing a contract template, all applying to an event and celebrating together whoever gets chosen, or getting feedback on an opening.
At The Big Talk, we’ve redefined the speaker community to be about the collective. When one person’s chosen, we’re all chosen. The value of this cannot be underestimated.
Our Membership Community draws people from all walks of life, from all over the world. This is a different kind of speakers’ community, a community predicated on non judgment that’s built on the idea that diversity is critically important.
We take an active role as a community in cultivating diversity and a safe space for all people, embracing and carefully curating conscious language. How we use our voices responsibly and respectfully in the world starts here.
There’s no negativity. We are all equal. We are all here to support one another. Nobody’s voice gets louder than the other.

“Despite not seeing the community face-to-face yet, they have been a family to me. They have been my community that really empowers me with courage, confidence, and commitment as they keep me accountable as I really commit to achieving my goals and dreams.”
If the core of your message is a story that still wounds you . . . I honor your experience. And, you have some healing work to do first. We’ll be waiting for you on the other side.
If you’re looking for “hacks” for the big stage, or “tricks” for captivating your audience, you won’t find any superficial tactics here.
This is not your typical “speaker training” or “get over fear of public speaking” club.
If you are generally negative, resistant to feedback, or someone who struggles with self-love and confidence, constantly comparing yourself to others . . . this is probably not the community for you. Although, being in this community can change all that.
And if your sole intention is to use public speaking as part of a marketing strategy, or to pitch from stage, those are totally valid motives. But you’d be better served elsewhere.
Will getting your big talk on big stages drive business to you, and grow your platform and revenue? Absolutely.
Is that the main reason why my speakers work with me? No. Their missions are far bigger.
You deserve to feel fully confident in your decision to join The Big Talk Membership Community. And there are two ways we want to help you do that. First, there are no long-term commitments required when you join us. Your Membership runs month-to-month, and you can cancel at any time (all we ask is that you give us 30 business days’ notice before your next month).
Prior to this program, the only way to have access to my training and guidance was to work one-on-one with me in my Speaker Salon, a minimum $30,000 investment, or to join The Big Talk Academy certification program at $4,997.
But as our world has faced unexpected changes, which are creating unprecedented opportunities for new voices to get heard, I knew we needed to meet you where you’re at and get these resources into your hands without you having to wait a day longer.
And since, as membership grows in the coming years, it’s likely the investment will too, you get the opportunity to lock in your price for life:
