Bruce's Public Speaking Breakthrough Weekend

Is public speaking fear or anxiety holding you back or limiting your potential in your life or career?

If so this immersive weekend (retreat like) experience could be for you.

The format for the weekend is an evolution of my mission to help people transmute subconscious fears and blocks and self-limiting beliefs into public speaking passion, authenticity, and confidence. I've honestly never felt more certain that I’ve found the secret to unlocking speaking power in a way that actually lasts.

I designed this weekend to be an inspiring climb up The Public Speaking Breakthrough Ladder. I've designed each rung to unlock a new, empowering state of being in your public speaking and then lock that feeling into your nervous system. Through curated quotes, deep questions, story and message prompts and a few other secret ingredients we will progress though the following 3 phases.

Before I describe the format I want to acknowledge that just the thought of public speaking can feel overwhelming, but this is a safe, judgment-free zone. You will be speaking in this weekend retreat but this weekend isn't about having to perform or being put on the spot; it's about recalibrating your system so you can feel safe and calm as you speak.

• Phase 1: Breakthroughs 1 to 3.
• Awareness: What we witness, we can influence. We bring the blocks out of the shadows and share them to release their grip.
• Courage: We'll explore courage's earliest meaning - "to speak one's mind by telling all one's heart." - as a powerful transmuting tool.
• Acceptance: This isn't about passivity; it’s about actively allowing the resistance to come and out so we reclaim our power.
• Phase 2: Breakthroughs 4 to 6.
• Connection: Once we connect with ourselves we learn to connect with others and lock that safety it into your subconscious.
• Confidence: The shift from "seeking approval" to "granting permission." You'll learn to trust in your nervous system to stay present.
• Intention: Breaking the habit of "playing small" and moving from how am I doing to what is my message and how is it impacting?
• Phase 3: Breakthroughs 7 to 9
• Authenticity: Stripping away what you think you should be as a speaker to discover and embrace who you actually are.
• Authority: For this weekend authority is a magnetic command that comes from knowing why you and your message matter.
• Bliss: The final rung. The "flow state" where the fear is gone and speaking becomes something you enjoy. Imagine it yours to keep!
