A SpeakerU Graduate Says:

“SpeakerU helped me become more confident not only in the words I speak but in the words I write as well. Through the community we built in the program, I became more confident in myself and in what I have to offer as a speaker. It was motivational and inspiring to be around so many amazing people who showed up as their most authentic selves each and every session.”

“I had the opportunity to test out and practice my content in front of experienced advisors and a very dynamic audience of other speakers. The dynamic duo of Casey and Quinn were engaging, thoughtful, and supportive. I’ve made friends for life and had FAR too much fun in the process!”
