How it works

SHOW UP

Join the weekly calls and learn from the coaching.

Calls alternate between Monday at 10 AM and Tuesday at 10 PM Eastern Time, giving speakers around the world opportunities to participate during waking hours. Each call lasts one hour.

GET COACHED

Reserve your spot and receive direct feedback.

Every call, 2-3 members receive live coaching on a speech or presentation. You can reserve your own coaching spot up to three weeks in advance through the link in your reminder email. Afterward, you receive the recording and coaching notes.

SEND IT IN

Can't attend? Send a recording and get coached anyway.

Send me a recording of your speech, and I'll watch it and give you my feedback during the group call. You'll receive the recording of the session afterward, just as if you'd been there.

Client feedback

"Much higher level"

You gave me three or four things to think about that no one has ever given me before, and I've had this speech evaluated 30-40 times. To get input from you at a much higher level is going to help me going forward.

- Tiger McAndie

"A lot of fun!"

You have actually helped shape my current direction (without even knowing it) and I am very excited about my present journey and what I am learning 🙂 it's been a lot of fun!

- Debbie Walker

"Most insightful"

This was by far the most insightful and helpful evaluation/coaching I have ever received. There is no question your coaching led to the positive changes I made. It was definitely a much more powerful speech this time!

- Karen McNamara

Praise for Alexandre's speaking

He commanded the screen! [...] This [presentation by Alexandre] is a textbook virtual delivery that I'm going to start recommending people watch.

Michael Davis

Consultant, Author, Speaker

Alexandre exuded great presence virtually. [...] You can fill a room live, but you can also fill a virtual space. When you own that space and use that well, and really communicate with the camera with authenticity, with vulnerability, and with a level of confidence, you can own the virtual stage.
