Courses

Built to last.
Not to sell.

Every course here exists because I couldn't find what I needed when I needed it. Real content, no fluff, priced to be accessible. The installment pricing is not a subscription. It's an installment. You own it when you finish.

ABC of Public Speaking

For people who have something real to say.

A tight, no-fluff course on how to get your real ideas into a room and make them land. Not performance coaching. Not confidence gimmicks. The actual architecture of a talk that works — structure, presence, and the thing most courses never teach: what to do when it's a room that doesn't want to hear you.

What you'll learn

  • ›The one-sentence test: finding what your talk is actually about
  • ›Structure that holds — the three-part frame that works every time
  • ›The opening and closing that most speakers botch
  • ›Presence without performance: what to do with your body, voice, and nerves
  • ›Reading the room without losing your thread
  • ›The hostile room: speaking under constraint (limited time, bad tech, audiences that don't want to be there)
  • ›The Q&A: how to handle the questions that are really arguments
Self-paced, ~6 hoursVideo + workbooks

Workshop

Half-day or full-day, for teams and organizations.

A working session, not a lecture. Workshops are built around a specific problem your team is trying to solve — patient experience gaps, innovation under constraint, building for underserved populations, or communication that actually lands. Custom to your context.

  • ›In-person or remote
  • ›4–8 hours, half or full day
  • ›Up to 30 participants
  • ›Customized to your organization

Fireside Chat

For conferences, summits, and internal events.

A conversation, not a presentation. Fireside chats work best when your audience needs to think, not just hear. I bring the patient perspective, the constraint-based lens, and the willingness to say the things that usually don't get said in those rooms.

  • ›45–90 minutes
  • ›Moderated or open format
  • ›Pairs well with keynote or standalone
  • ›Healthcare, health tech, advocacy contexts
