Welcome to the Authentalk Speaking Mastery Program!
Speak with clarity, confidence, and purpose. Your transformation continues today.
Here’s What You’ll Do
Over the next 30 days, you’ll complete three major speeches:
Impromptu Speech (5 minutes)
Business Pitch (8–10 minutes)
TED-style Talk (8–12 minutes)
Each speech builds core skills in clarity, confidence, structure, and persuasion. You’ll receive direct coaching, detailed rubrics, and targeted drills.
You’re going to complete one key module per week. Every week, there will also be office hours for you to come, ask questions, and perform. (The specific timing will be, or was, discussed with you when you registered.)
