What you need to know from the meeting/event organizer to satisfy both the audience and the person writing your check. 

A mindset shift to overcome nerves, jitters and overthinking so can focus fully on your audience.

Tips to bounce back like a pro when something goes wrong.

Who should attend?

  • Authors, consultants, subject-matter experts, and thought leaders who want to use speaking and training to grow their businesses.

     

  • Retired leaders who want to transfer their knowledge and wisdom to the next generation.

     

  • Speakers who are currently delivering presentations created by others but want to develop their own content.

     

  • Nonprofit leaders need to be more visible to reach new donors, volunteers, and participants.

Who should NOT attend?

It IS NOT for people looking to overcome a strong fear of public speaking. I highly recommend Toastmasters International if that is your training goal.

It is also not for purely motivational speakers or those who simply want to share their stories. If that’s you, contact me for recommendations for other programs that may fit your needs.

WHAT CAN I EXPECT DURING THE TRAINING?

This is a VERY intimate training session. Each participant will arrive with individual goals and at different stages of development. I will meet you where you are and take you to your next level. To provide such high-quality, individualized instruction, the intensive is limited to four participants.


BEFORE THE SESSION:

Your pre-session homework is to develop or repurpose a 10-minute presentation using the Platform for Purpose Speech Crafting Framework.  You will receive training on the Framework via on-demand video webinar, along with the Framework Guide, which can be used every time you develop a presentation.

DAY ONE: 

Our first day together will be a mix of interactive, multimedia instruction, speech delivery and coaching.  Each participant will receive a video of their speech so you can track your progress.

DAY TWO: 

This day is all about your content. We’ll dive into one of your existing presentations, or help you to develop new content based on the Platform for Purpose Speech Crafting Framework. You will walk away with specific actions to focus your presentation on the needs of your audience, while making it more memorable and effective.

You will also learn to handle difficult situations such as tech issues, audience distractions, schedule changes and more like a pro.

POST SESSION: 

You’ll receive a 90-minute private coaching session with Isha to review the updates you made to your keynote/training from the Emerging Speakers Intensive.

MEET YOUR SPEAKER COACH

Isha Cogborn Speaker TrainingHi there! I’m Isha Cogborn, founder of Epiphany Institute and the Platform for Purpose program for experts and leaders.

Since founding my company 15 years ago, I have earned the trust of an impressive roster of clients, including Fortune 100 executives, entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders and elected officials. I get bored doing one thing, so my work includes a mix of keynote speaking, organizational training, executive coaching and business development.

Organizations love to hire me for training because my vast corporate experience, high energy, and life-coaching skills ensure that audiences will enjoy the learning environment I create.

How did I get here?

My journey towards becoming a professional speaker began in the fourth grade when I heard Les Brown speak. Back then, he was speaking at local elementary schools.  We ALL started somewhere! I was captivated by the power of speaking to motivate and inspire, and I longed to make others feel as unstoppable as I felt that day.

I started securing unpaid speaking engagements in college. After I graduated and joined a Fortune 50 global corporation, I served as a company spokesperson and coached leaders for speaking engagements and media appearances. Now, much of my work is focused on equipping subject-matter experts, entrepreneurs and leaders (current and retired) to make a greater impact on the world.

I have published four books, helping 17 up-and-coming thought leaders and experts to become first-time authors! That’s one of the accomplishments I’m most proud of. Along the way, I have also hosted two television shows, three podcasts, and appeared on a number of national and local media platforms.

I split my time between Arizona and Michigan and enjoy hanging out with my adult son and binging audiobooks in my free time. I look forward to hearing your vision and putting my expertise and passion to work for you!
