Write Your Life-Changing Speech in a Way That No One Has Heard It Before
(Oh, and Bring Clients Flooding into Your Business)
Your Vulnerability Is Your Speaking Power. I’ll Coach You to Unleash It.
You Have The Power And Strength To Change Lives With Your Story.
Getting on stage and delivering your story can be terrifying, I know.
Especially when you want to inspire and motivate others with a speech that’s vulnerable and close to your heart.
Deep down, you KNOW your stirring speech is the key to making an impact and thriving in your business.
But instead of getting your speech on paper, here’s what happens:
😬
You flip open a blank Word document and, within minutes, you’re just scrolling through Facebook, comparing yourself to other people’s business and speaking-success posts. Or just checking out cute dog videos. You’re distracted and suffering from writer’s block.
🤔
You’ve had this story on your heart for ages, and it’s just not getting out into the world. You’ve got sticky notes and notebook pages filled with ideas that haven’t come together in a sincere, powerful way.
😩
You’ve tried EVERYTHING. From writing it on your own to attending countless Toastmasters meetings to taking a storytelling course, but you’re not closer to getting that speech written.
😤
The drafts you’ve written feel generic, cliched, and full of inspirational bumper stickers. You KNOW you have something moving in you, but it’s just not coming out authentically YOU. The worst thing you can imagine is sounding just like everyone else.
😱
Negative mental chatter sets in. Maybe you’re not meant to do this. Maybe your story doesn’t matter that much. Maybe you’re NOT meant for the stage after all.
I am here to take a stand for you, your voice, and your story. There is a great speech within every human being.
Do not give up. Your story needs a witness. I’ve been the flashlight, muse, and fire for my clients, so they can reveal the stories within them that change the world.
Best of all, with my coaching, they can write their story in a way that no one has ever heard it told before.
Innovative. Life-Changing. Perspective-Smashing.
Imagine people coming up to you after you deliver your speech — tears in their eyes, telling you that you’ve helped them through the transformative power of your story.
Do you know what happens when you have a speech that you KNOW is standing-ovation worthy?
😎
You’re effortlessly pitching organizations as a keynote speaker, because you’ve put the time, commitment, and hard work into a story you know, with 100% confidence, will change lives.
🎯
You’re waitlisting clients, because they’ve heard your story and they know you’ve got the power to help them create the results they want. They haven’t trusted anyone to help them before, but hearing your vulnerability activated their desire for change.
💯
You’re showing up at work and in your relationships in a new, intimate way. Our work together has ignited your inner activist, and your mission carries you to places you can’t even imagine.
🤯
You’ve connected the dots of your life in ways that make you go “Aha!” You’ve found meaning in your experience. You have the freedom to take risks, telling your story not only more publicly, but more intimately, too.
🙌
You’re using your voice and story to impact social action. You’ve changed people’s perspectives in just one speech, and it stays with them forever. You’re part of the solution . . . and being a catalyst for change in a world that badly needs it.
INTRODUCING:
WRITE YOUR STORY, CHANGE THE WORLD™
A 1:1 Story Coaching System That Will Reveal Your Authentic, Game-Changing Speech.
Every great speaker starts here. Just one call (on the house!) with me.
Hop on a Speaking Assessment Call with Me.
I’ll take you through my Write. Speak. Get the Gig. checklist so you’ll know exactly what you need!
Hi, I’m Alan, former Harry Potter Marketing Launch Director turned Rockstar Keynote Speaker and TEDx Speech Whisperer.
Writing is in my blood. I’ve been surrounded by the craft of spinning compelling tales from the day that I was born.
You see, my Dad (age 91!) has been a writer for over 7 decades.
Over 25+ years, I have always landed in professional roles that included writing. I have published not one but two books on the art and science of human emotion and connection.
I have written over 400 speeches for executives at companies like Scholastic, the Broadway League, and AT&T.
After all this time, there’s one thing I absolutely know for sure:
No matter how amazing your story is on its own, your ability to connect with the audience is completely dependent on great storytelling.
And that’s where I come in. It’s my mission to use my gifts in speaking, human connection, and storytelling to help people make social impact and tell the stories that change the world.
It’s Time for You to Step Up to Your Calling to Become a Speaker.
Take the First Step: Craft Your Captivating,
Standing-Ovation-Worthy Story.
You can’t fit your life experience into a “formula” that you’re going to learn in a course.
Sure, you can sit and write a speech in a couple of hours — but you’ll always be wondering if you poured everything into it. You’ll be missing the elements that make it a stand-out experience for the audience.
Worse, you’ll pull back when it’s time to make a strong call to action (ouch, leaving clients on the table who need you!).
Believe me, I’ve seen this a thousand times.
The fact is, when you’re trying to turn your passion & experience into a speech, you’re too close to it.
You don’t see its brilliance or how to write your story in a way that’s going to radically change people’s perspectives.
Or you have too many stories, and you don’t know which one will be the most powerful.
Your passion deserves a 1:1 coach to listen for your blind spots, to pull out the angle that’s unique to only you.
You need a 1:1 coach to teach you the art of captivating speechwriting so you can step onto a stage, do Facebook Lives, and share your story with complete confidence.
You need someone to hold you as powerful when you doubt yourself.
A coach to witness your Truth so you can break through writer’s block, tame your inner critic, and get out there, changing lives with complete confidence.
“Alan was an excellent coach for me. We worked together on my keynote and on a number of zoom speeches. He was able to help me identify relevant stories and encouraged me to keep a story journal. He taught me how to construct my speeches to be more inspiring and less educational. He also helped me line up resources to build a sizzle reel and speaker handout. He pushed me when I needed a push and was there every step of the way.
“One thing I love about working with Alan is his willingness to connect people with his resources, even before he is formally hired. Over the course of working together I began to value Alan as more than my coach- he is a great person and now is a friend!”
- Deb Rubin
Here’s What We’ll Coach Through:
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE ASSESSMENT.
Speechwriting & delivery is 100% about creating a heart-to-heart connection with the audience. To create that heartline, you need to have laser focus on your own emotional composition. After our Emotional Intelligence Assessment + Coaching Session, you’ll uncover your writing/speaking strengths and gaps so that you can use them to write a speech that keeps your audience engaged, connected, and hungry for more.
YOUR ONE-OF-A-KIND VOICE, REVEALED.
You don’t want to sound like every other speaker out there. Only your unique voice will reach the people who need to hear it. We’ll coach together to reveal your speech voice and style, so you stand out as a sought-after, one-of-a-kind speaker.
TARGET AUDIENCE ANALYSIS.
Deliver your vulnerable truth only before people that long to hear it and can receive your message. We’ll pinpoint exactly who you need to speak to, so that your story makes a huge impact, in front of the right audience.
BANISH INNER CRITICS.
Negative mind chatter, be gone! We’ll work together to shine a light on the dark corners of shame, guilt, and self-criticism that stop you from owning your story. As a certified connection and communication coach, I’m here to compassionately shift your negative self-talk, so that you’re courageous and unstoppable. All great speakers have faced their demons—I’m here for you.
PROVEN STORY FRAMEWORKS.
Whether you’re creating a signature speech or a TedX talk, I’ll guide you through the story frameworks that have been proven to captivate audiences. Together, we’ll choose the framework that captures your life experience perfectly. Your story + proven frameworks is like perfectly paired wine and cheese. Peanut butter and jelly. You + The Stage.
COMPELLING CALL-TO-ACTION DESIGN.
A riveting speech moves people to action. You’re here to make an impact, and your final call to action will stir your audience to take the next step (read: how to inspire them to work with you, without feeling sleazy or sales-y!)
FOREVER BANISH WRITER’S BLOCK.
I’ve written two books, and I know a thing or two about how to overcome it. Through coaching with me, you’ll never again suffer from the frustration of “I have nothing to say.” I’ll teach you innovative, out-of-the-box tools you can’t find on YouTube, so you never fear the blank page again.
The first step to getting on the stage is to discover your Write. Speak. Get the Gig. Profile—

Is this right for me?
You’re in the right place if:
√ At the end of three months from now, you want to have a captivating speech that’s ready to be delivered to small or large groups AND can be used on virtual stages.
√ You want a repeatable system to use every time you’re ready to tell another powerful, life-changing story.
√ You want to write a speech that will move and inspire people to take action.
√ You want to write a speech that will help people think differently, act differently, and live differently.
Why do I need three months to get results? Shouldn’t I be able to write a speech in a few hours?
Thanks for asking this, because it’s one of the #1 myths about writing a speech that stops people from getting it done.
Sure, you can write a speech in an hour. But will it be the best speech you’ve ever dreamed up? Will it connect and land? Is it the angle of your story that will be unforgettable? Will it sound just like everyone else’s speech on your topic?
Great speeches, like any great artwork, take time to craft into a stand-out piece worth presentation.
