Discovering your style will set you free. Whether on that first date, at the staff meeting, or at a protest, your voice matters to someone else. We are changing the world by breaking down public speaking anxiety, busting the myths of what society says public speakers need to look/sound like, and confidently celebrating our unique speaking style.
