About us

You didn't get here by accident. You built something. You lead people. You make decisions that matter.

Atlanta CEO Club is an exclusive community for CEOs and executive leaders who understand that isolation is the biggest challenge at the top. You need peers who get it. People who've faced the same decisions, the same pressures, the same opportunities you're facing right now.

We meet regularly — in person — because real leadership conversations happen when you're in the room with other CEOs who are willing to be honest, vulnerable, and strategic about what it takes to build and scale a business.

Here you'll find:
Peer mentorship from people who've already walked the path you're on. Strategic conversations about growth, challenges, and opportunities. A trusted inner circle of leaders who understand the weight of the CEO role. Real solutions from people who are actually doing it.

I'm Ariel Ghinga, founder of Atlanta Public Speaking. I created this club because I know that the best CEOs never stop learning, never stop growing, and never do it alone. This is your space.
Your success at the top depends on the people around you. Let's make sure those people challenge you, inspire you, and help you become the leader your business needs.

  • The Art of Public Speaking - A Declaration of Freedom

    The Art of Public Speaking - A Declaration of Freedom

    Intelligent Office - Atlanta - Sandy Springs, 10 Glenlake Pkwy NE Suite 130, Atlanta, GA, US

    July 4th | 2-Hour Intensive Seminar
    This Independence Day, declare your freedom from the fear that's been holding back your voice.
    Freedom isn't just about liberty — it's about the power to speak your truth, command a room, and be heard without hesitation. Too many brilliant people stay silent because they're trapped by anxiety, self-doubt, or the belief that they're "just not a public speaker."
    That ends now.
    In this 2-hour intensive, I'm breaking down the real mechanics of how confident speakers show up differently. We'll work on presence, clarity, and the ability to captivate any audience — whether it's a boardroom, a stage, or a room full of people who matter to you.
    You'll walk away with tools, frameworks, and the mindset shift that frees you from the grip of nervousness. More importantly, you'll understand what's been holding you back and exactly how to fix it.
    This seminar is for anyone ready to:

    • Speak without the constant voice in your head second-guessing you
    • Command attention the moment you open your mouth
    • Build unshakeable confidence that lasts

    Your freedom to speak starts here. This July 4th, let's unlock it.

    ### What Your Fear of Speaking Is Really Stealing From You

    AT WORK:

    • The promotion went to someone who speaks up in meetings
    • The client chose the competitor who pitched with confidence
    • Your ideas die in your mind while others get credit for worse ones
    • You're invisible while less talented people lead

    IN LOVE:

    • You can't express what you feel, so relationships stay surface-level
    • You struggle to be vulnerable, so intimacy suffers
    • Miscommunication creates distance you can't bridge
    • The person you want to be with doesn't see the real you

    IN LIFE:

    • You avoid social situations because small talk terrifies you
    • You can't advocate for yourself or your family
    • Your kids watch you shrink instead of seeing you lead
    • You're forgotten the moment you leave the room

    IN YOUR FUTURE:

    • Five years from now, AI will have automated even more of your job
    • The people who kept their relevance will all have one thing: they can communicate
    • You'll wonder: "What if I had just learned to speak?"

    ### Why Everything You've Tried Has Failed

    You've watched YouTube videos. Read books. Tried affirmations.
    Nothing worked.
    Here's why:
    Public speaking anxiety isn't a skill problem. It's an identity problem.
    You're trying to act confident while your subconscious still believes you're "someone who gets nervous" or "not good at this."
    Your subconscious always wins.
    Until you shift your identity at the deepest level, you'll keep snapping back—retreating to safe silence, hiding behind politeness, defaulting to "I don't want to rock the boat," settling for weak communication when strong leadership is required.
    And if you think you're already "pretty good" at speaking?
    Ask yourself: Are people moved when you speak, or just polite? Do they remember you a week later? Do they act on your words? Or do you walk away thinking, "That was fine," while knowing deep down you held back, played it safe, left your real power on the table?
    Good enough is the enemy of great. And in the age of AI, "pretty good" gets replaced.
    That's what this seminar fixes.

    ### Why This Seminar Is Different

    Most seminars teach tips and tricks.
    We perform surgery on your identity.
    Most seminars leave you inspired but unchanged.
    You'll walk out different than you walked in.
    Most seminars ignore the real problem.
    We address the subconscious patterns that keep you stuck.
    This is the same material I normally charge $10,000 for in VIP sessions.
    Today, it's free.
    Why?
    Because my mission is to help 1 million entrepreneurs and executives achieve public speaking mastery in 2026.
    And I refuse to let anyone who's serious about transformation be left behind.

    ### But Don't Mistake "Free" For "Not Valuable"

    Just because you're not paying doesn't mean this isn't worth thousands.
    I need you to show up like you invested $10,000.
    Block the time. Eliminate distractions. Commit fully.
    Because transformation doesn't happen to people who consume.
    It happens to people who commit.

    ### The Two Versions of Your Future

    VERSION 1:
    1 year from now, you're still stuck. Still silent. Still watching others get promoted, close deals, find love, live fully.
    AI has automated most of your job. The people who kept their relevance are the ones who can lead, inspire & connect.
    And you wonder: "What if I had just shown up that day?"
    VERSION 2:
    You walk into that room. You do the work. You shift your identity.
    And everything changes.
    You speak up in meetings. You close deals. You express what you feel. You connect deeply.
    You become someone people remember, respect, follow.
    You become irreplaceable.
    Which version do you want?
    What People Are Saying
    Here's a testimonial from a GA Tech professional that has received his breakthrough after participating in the training:
    "It is with the greatest pleasure that l write this recommendation to Mr. Ariel Ghinga, CEO of the Personality Development Group, LLC. I came across an advertisement by Ariel when I was searching for expert advice and coaching to improve my professional and personal presentation and overall expression skills. The service provided by Ariel proved to be more than the monies’ worth. Ariel’s training, guidance and teaching caused a significant transformation in my life. His methods helped me achieve much more than I expected: I was able to achieve my immediate career goals by implementing his approaches in real life situations.
    By just showing up for one of his demonstrations sessions, I was able to gauge what to expect and immediately signed up for his services. That was one of the smartest decisions I made in my life. I would highly recommend Ariel’s services to anyone who is looking to achieve his or her dream goals but is only restricted by the weaknesses or negative aspects of the personality. If you think you have some difficulties in expressing yourself or surviving under professional or normal social settings, Ariel would be the person to go for! He will guide you towards your goals, and teach you methods that will continuously keep you on track for nothing less than the ultimate success of your personal goals!" – Chaminda M. Gamage, Ph.D., Research Scientist II, School of Chemistry and Biochemistry Georgia Institute of Technology

    ### One Final Truth

    Right now, you're feeling something.
    A pull. A knowing. Your spirit saying, "This is what I need."
    But the moment you leave this page, life gets in the way.
    Your brain will give you reasons to wait: "Not now. Maybe later. I'm too busy."
    And then nothing changes.
    I would be doing you a disservice if I didn't tell you:
    The moment to act is now.
    Not someday. Now.
    Your voice matters.
    Your message matters.
    In the age of AI, your ability to speak—to connect, to inspire, to lead—is what makes you irreplaceable.
    Don't die with your dreams still in your heart.
