Why this, why now

Your ideas are only as big as your ability to deliver them.

You've built the expertise, and you have something real to say, but the moments that move your life and career forward – the keynote, the board meeting, the interview, the podcast, the pitch, the wedding speech – are real hurdles. Do any of these resonate with you?

  • Nerves stop you shining in front of an audience.
  • You freeze, rush or play small when the stakes rise.
  • You're brilliant one to one but not on a stage.
  • Your message gets diluted, so it doesn't land.
  • Your speaking isn't keeping pace with your ambition.

“The human voice is the instrument we all play. Would you go on stage to give a piano recital having never had a lesson or done any practice? Of course not, but that's what almost everyone does for public speaking.”

What you'll walk away with

Become a world-class presenter.

After four weeks of live teaching and personal mentoring from one of the best speakers in the world, you'll be a noticeably stronger speaker, with a sharper message, a more powerful voice, real presence on stage and on camera, and Julian's personal feedback on how you can connect and command an audience.

01

A message that cuts through

Refine your content so that people remember it, repeat it and act on it long after you've spoken.

02

A voice that commands the room

Develop the voice, pace and presence to hold attention on any stage and any camera with total confidence.

03

The power to move an audience

Learn how to touch, move, and inspire instead of just being heard.

04

Speaking that grows your brand

Turn every talk, pitch and podcast into a triumph, and position yourself as a leader people want to listen to.

Julian's Conscious Communication Framework™ is the proven foundation that will transform your speaking power, along with his 1:1 coaching on your personal content and delivery.

The syllabus

Your time with Julian

Week 1

Build your message

Find the one idea worth speaking about, set a clear intention for every talk, and learn to read the room in front of you. You'll film your first talk and take your speaking assessment, so you know exactly where you're starting.

Week 2

Find your voice

Your voice is your instrument. Learn to use tone, pace, power and silence so people lean in and stay with you from your first words to your last. Includes your first private session with Julian.

Week 3

Command the stage

Preparation, stagecraft and delivery, so you own the room on stage and on camera. You'll film your third talk and get Julian's feedback on how you land.

Week 4

Hold any room

Stay composed under questions, challenge and pressure, and adapt to panels, media, podcasts and virtual events. You'll film your final talk, see your before and after, and have your second 1:1 with Julian.

Bonus tracks

Plus, the business of speaking.

For anyone who wants to take it further, optional bonus sessions open up the professional side of speaking.

Bonus

The speaking career playbook

How speakers get in front of corporations, conferences and bureaus, and get paid to do it, including exactly how Julian booked the organisations he's spoken for.

Bonus

Your speaking studio

The software and AI workflows a modern speaker actually uses, to draft and pressure-test your message, rehearse, and create real interaction and feedback.

Who it's for

For people whose next level depends on being heard.

You lead a team, or you're the face of the whole company. Your ability to connect and inspire affects everyone working for you.

Speakers and coaches

You hold rooms for a living. Sharpen your craft and take your practice to a whole new level.

Podcasters and creators

You're building an audience with your voice. Sharpen your message and delivery so every episode and every stage lands harder.

Making a difference

Verbatim five-star reviews from Julian's courses, which more than 160,000 people have taken.
“This is one of the best courses I have ever taken. Why? Very well structured, simple yet greatly informative presentations, fluent and precise and brilliantly presented by Julian. I stayed engaged from beginning to end without having to force myself to be attentive. The way Julian presents the information is simply captivating.”
Edgar Fernandes, Powerful Speaking student, 2018
“I absolutely love Julian's presentations. He is walking the talk, showing with his presence, knowledge and style how to best speak to a public. He got me completely engaged, I did the exercises along the way and I paused and practised suggested tips and tools. I am excited to put in practice all of it with my team!”
Pilar Cortes, Powerful Speaking student, 2023

Questions

Good to know.

Is this live or pre-recorded?

Both. Every teaching session is live in real time with Julian: direct teaching, live practice and personal feedback in a small group. You will also have a private small group for practice and connection with your peers.

All sessions are recorded so you can access them afterwards, and you will also record your own short talk multiple times as you develop your skills.

Why is it application-only?

A small group means Julian can give everyone real attention and feedback on their own speaking. The application simply makes sure the people in the group are serious about growing as speakers.

I'm nervous and not an experienced speaker. Is that okay?

Yes. Nerves are normal and we work with them directly. You need something you care about saying and the willingness to practise. Julian has taught complete beginners and seasoned professionals alike.

Does this cover speaking on camera, too?

Yes. The modern speaker has to own both the stage and the lens. You'll film a two-minute talk every week, and Julian teaches speaking to camera for video, podcasts and online talks in week three.

How much time will it take each week?

Plan for the 90-minute live session plus focused practice between sessions. You'll get the most from it by applying what you learn to your own speaking as you go.

What if I apply and the cohort fills up?

Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. If the current cohort fills, your application carries over to the next one and you'll be first in line.

Become the speaker you know you can be.

Master speaking, on stage and on camera, and you change how far every idea you have can travel. Four weeks, live online with Julian Treasure.
