Deliver An Unforgettable Talk That Changes Lives.
Keep Your Audience Riveted, From Any Stage (Even Digital Ones)
If You Could Just Step Up Confidently In Front Of An Audience, You Know Your Speech Can Make A Huge Impact.
✅
You want to use a difficult life experience to bring inspiration, motivation, and hope to others who have gone through the same thing.
✅
You’ve always wanted to be part of making a huge social impact, and you know you can deliver a game-changing perspective with a little help.
✅
You’ve tried watching YouTube videos about delivering great content, but it’s not enough. You “get” the how-to, technical parts of giving a speech, but you want to go beyond cookie-cutter and leave a speech legacy.
✅
You’re plagued with thoughts like, “Hasn’t this story already been told?” and “Why is my speech going to be the one people remember?”
✅
The nerves. You’ve got the calling to speak . . . but the nerves take you down every time! The idea of all those eyes on you makes you worry about how people are going to see and judge and evaluate you.
✅
You’ve watched and admired hundreds of speakers. Your own life has been changed by great speakers, and you want to be the next Brené Brown . . . but you’re not Brené Brown. You just haven’t developed your own style yet.
You’re worried that you’ll lose your audience halfway through, and you’re probably right.
It’s not because you don’t have a great message, but your delivery needs to match the message.
The Thing Is, When You Tap Into Your Personal Speaking Style, Here’s What Happens For You:
💯
Your delivery is so powerful, you get asked to come back again and again.
💯
Audience members are so moved, they’re inviting you to come to their organizations to speak.
💯
You’re handing out your business card left and right, because people are so inspired, they understand that you’re exactly the right person to help them.
💯
You’ll deliver a riveting talk, no matter how much you’re quaking in your boots just thinking about it right now. (By the way, you won’t be nervous—we’ll work on that.)
💯
You don’t have to emulate anyone else. Instead, you’re completely confident because we’ve crossed every t and dotted every i in your talk.
I’m guessing you want that speech-delivery “high,” knowing you’ve totally nailed it and connected powerfully with your audience, right?
INTRODUCING…
SPEAK UP. YOUR STORY MATTERS.™
30 Days to Commanding the Stage and Inspiring Audiences
Real talk ahead: Your calling to speak isn’t just about YOU.
It’s about the people who need to hear your story. It’s about that person, just like you, who needs to hear about your journey.
If you have the calling to speak, you have a responsibility to take action and get confident so the people who need you can find you.
In just 30 days, here’s how we’ll get you confidently delivering the speech of a lifetime (and it’s not just about counting your “ums”!):
SPEAK WITH INTENTION.
Where in my delivery do I need to be inspiring? Where do I need to wake people up? Where do I need to gently invite?
We’ll review each section of your speech to determine the cadence, body language, and tone that will help the message connect with the audience.
HEART-TO-HEART CONNECTION.
Here’s something you can’t learn in a course—the Emotional Intelligence behind speech delivery.
I’ll help you emphasize the points of emotional connection with your audience so that your story sticks with them for a long, long time after you’ve left the stage.
MAINTAIN CONNECTION, VIRTUALLY AND IN PERSON.
Most people lose the audience about 5 seconds into their speech (your worst fear, right?).
I’ll coach you through the speaking strategies that keep an audience engaged, whether you can read the room (in person) or are delivering virtually!
BE YOURSELF, EVEN WHEN EVERYONE’S WATCHING.
The best way to banish speech delivery jitters is to feel 100% confident that your delivery style is going to land. Watching great speakers can sometimes be more intimidating than instructions.
Let go of being the next TEDx star, and deliver a speech with your own uniquely captivating style.
ACTOR TIPS TO INCORPORATE INTO YOUR SPEAKING STYLE.
Speaking isn’t just about . . . speaking. It’s about standing. Posture. Gestures. Movement. Facial expressions that work even from 20 rows back.
I’ll bring my extensive acting background to your delivery, so you can be sure that every nuance of your speech lands the way you intend it to.
HANDLING NERVES.
You’re thinking, “Who am I to be delivering a speech to these people?” I’ll coach you through learning to focus your speech-adrenaline excitement into poised energy. Instead of panic, shaking voice, and freaking out (no one needs pit stains during their talk).
Worried that the audience is judging you? Learn the delivery secret that flips the judgment script.
BULLETPROOF MEMORIZATION TOOLS.
All the rehearsal in the world isn’t going to help you activate your memory when all eyes are on you.
I’ll coach you through some off-the-wall memorization tools to ensure your speech is locked and loaded no matter what (Hint: It involves tennis balls, among other techniques!)
TWEAK YOUR SPEECH.
Once we’re practicing your speech, we usually uncover that some of it doesn’t leap to life the way you’d hoped.
We’ll tweak and revamp your speech so that every word lands powerfully.
Hi, I’m Alan, and I didn’t shy away from saying “Shit!” to make my point on the TEDx Stage.
I’m a funny, snarky, irreverent New Yorker with a heart of gold, and I never dull myself down for an audience.
You get to be courageously YOU in your speaking, so you can be unforgettable, whether you’re on a traditional or virtual stage.
Look, there are tons of courses and videos out there teaching you HOW to walk and talk on the stage.
But the fact is, if you want to be one of the greats, you need an expert who’s been there.
You need a coach who is going to help you go beyond delivering a technically great speech and completely embody your own personal speaking style.
You need an expert who is going to coach you through every nuance of your delivery, so you’re 110% authentically YOU when you speak.
That’s where I come in. I’m an author and speaker whose expertise is in the area of human connection. (Hint: That’s the power of your standing-ovation-worthy delivery.)
Sought-after, professional keynote speaker for conferences, annual meetings, employee events, corporate webinars, retreats, university events... the point is, I know how to bring the energy into any room, on any stage.
Corporate communications expert who coached countless executives, entrepreneurs, and activists to deliver unforgettable speeches that leave a mark on their audience in a way that is completely unique to them.
Trained actor who brought that acting and performing expertise to my talk on the Magical Power of Shared Purpose on the TEDx stage — which has surpassed 100k views and continues to grow every day.
Expert and consultant in the areas of connection, communication, body language, and the energy of language; author of two books on Emotional Intelligence and the power of human connection.
Cursing on the TedX Stage might not be for you, but I promise to coach you to be courageously, fearlessly yourself, from any speaking platform.
“If you’re looking to take your public speaking game to the next level, Alan is the coach to help you get there. Speaking in front of an audience wasn’t new for me, but truly writing, rehearsing and delivering a powerful speech felt different from my professional presentations of the past. Alan helped me tap into powerful stories, sell from the stage drive revenue-generating opportunities for my business and had me feeling completely prepared.
“More than all of that, he walked with me throughout the entire process and helped me take a huge step forward in an integral part of my business. My very first speech resulted in growing my email list with over 40 new subscribers and 12 discovery calls with potential new clients. The ROI is incredible already. I couldn’t recommend Alan any stronger than I am right now. If public speaking is an important part of your business or a goal for you… call him!”

Every human being can deliver an incredible speech.
