We’re exploring a new members-only pilot called Speak UP—and before we build it, we want your input to help shape it the right way.
This idea is evolving from our recent in-person sessions at Pier 57, and it’s designed to fill a very specific gap we’ve been hearing from members.
What we’re aiming for Speak UP to be:
A place for more (and longer) reps
Opportunities to practice and refine longer-form content captured simply on your phone so you can actually use the footage.
A feedback-rich environment
Real input from peers and experienced speakers as you test new material, evolve your message, or explore a pivot.
Built-in accountability
Regular check-ins and a consistent group to help you stay in motion and follow through on what you say you want to build.
A strong community layer
A cohort experience that keeps you connected, supported, and moving forward together—not working in isolation.
What this is NOT:
Let’s be clear, because this matters:
This is
not a curriculum-based training program
This is
not step-by-step instruction on how to build a speaking business
This is
not a replacement for SpeakerU
If SpeakerU is where you learn the strategy, skills, and business of speaking…
Speak UP is where you show up, practice, and apply it.
Join the Co-Creation Session
We’re hosting a
live working session (in person + Zoom) to refine this idea, pressure-test it, and see if there’s enough interest to move forward.
We’ll explore together:
- What would make this genuinely valuable for you
- What should be included—and what should stay out
- Who this is best suited for (and who it’s not)
- Whether this is something you’d actually commit to
In Person: Pier 57 - 25 11th Ave, New York, NY 10011

This is a working session—not a presentation—so come ready to share your perspective.
Let’s build something that truly supports this community—without duplicating what already works.
