Hear from our members:

“As challenging as it’s been for me, these meetings have been one of the best life classes I’ve ever taken. Difficult to put into words but there is some healing happening… and I feel like an onion—peeling back the layers to a better version of me I always knew was there.”

“I never knew how much I needed a club like this. I’ve never belonged to any clubs and now I think I get why people feel so connected. As soon as I walk through the door and see the smiles on those ladies faces, I feel so much better. When I leave there, I feel so good.”

“I’m a very emotional person and oftentimes demonstrate outward emotions when I’m talking. Sometimes that’s OK and other times it would be great to be able to keep it in check. Since I’ve joined the club I’ve had a couple of very challenging conversations and I was able to hold my own. Practicing speeches has made me more confident in myself and my message.”

The Secret Life of Speaking Up:

A Guide for Using Public Speaking As a Tool for Self-Discovery 

IMG_0678The Secret Life of Speaking Up takes curious adventurers on a journey through their stories, loves, passions, personal power, and dreams through a series of public speaking experiments. These experiments give Speaker Sisters the chance to do creative exploration, free write, deliver a speech they crafted themselves, gather feedback, reflect, and celebrate each step of the journey.

This program is built on the philosophy that each public speaking opportunity is a chance to discover, awaken, and ultimately create the voice each speaker will present to the world.
