Four Fridays, six to twelve women, one stage at the end
“Who am I to be telling these people anything?”
That's what so many women tell us actually holds them back.
Of course there are nerves, but what keeps you quiet is often this: the feeling that you haven't earned the room. That you aren't expert enough. That there will always be someone who knows more.
Over four Fridays, we work on exactly that. You get on your feet and practice, again and again, until you start to embody the speaker you want to be.
On the last day, you walk onto a stage!
You learn in community: alongside other women, through each other's stories and practice, with direct feedback from two public speaking coaches who've been on stage and behind the scenes for over 30 years combined.
An experience-based method developed by Female Speaking Berlin.
What story are you telling yourself? Who am I to say this. I'm not the expert here. We find the belief underneath, name it out loud, and start building the one that replaces it. In a room of women doing the same thing.
You leave with: clarity on what actually blocks you, and a framework you can return to every time it comes back.
How do you move a room? Your voice directs whether people lean in or tune out. Do you know what your body communicates? You learn to use your full physical instrument to make your message land.
You leave with: a warm-up and vocal exercises you can use before any high-stakes moment, a recording to practice with at home, and your own voice on tape.
Now we craft. Structure, storytelling, getting to the point, thinking on your feet. Through a lot of practice and supportive feedback, you learn to build a message that lands.
You leave with: a handful of structures you can pull out on the spot when a difficult question lands. And your own 60-second statement on what you stand for and what you're good at.

In this closing session, everything comes together. You submit your real challenges beforehand. We build tailored scenarios and practice them live, using theater and role play techniques. This is where Expose, Move, and Build become part of who you are and how you speak. We have booked a stage for the final speaking moment!
You leave with: footage from session one and session four side by side, and a written summary of the feedback from your peers and both coaches.
You set one specific goal after each session: something you'll actually do at work before we meet again, and report back on. You'll be paired with an accountability buddy from the group.
We could describe it, but you'll get a truer answer from women who've been in it.
What we can tell you: most women arrive nervous and excited. That's totally normal.
You'll get a lot of practice time. It might feel scary at first, but that's how the confidence comes: from standing there and finding out that you're speaking in public and can still breathe and think. From that point we can start building the skills.
Nothing is filmed without your permission, and you can change your mind at any point.

Many women use their annual development budget for EMBody. If yours is still unspent, it's worth checking whether it runs out at the end of the year, and we're happy to invoice your company directly. Self-employed or freelancing? You'll get a proper invoice with VAT stated, so you can put it through your business.
The four sessions are on Friday mornings, which for most women means arranging the time with work. If it would help to have something short to forward to your manager, write to us and we'll send it.
Esther and Dyane have been working with voice, story, and presence for over 30 years combined. As theater-trained business owners, they are deeply committed to the idea that speaking up is a skill that everyone can learn.
