SPEAK 2.0 SPEAK POSSIBILITY INTO REALITY - What Are YOU Ready For?

Between 2015-2019, we designed and delivered SPEAK Canada to provide women leaders with a proven process and platform to encourage and empower more female leaders, founders, and changemakers to publicly share about their work in the world, including an ask or an invitation to provide support in order for the impact of their work to expand.

We have taken the very best of this national program, including testing it with a reputable university partner, and are now pleased to announce our global program, SPEAK 2.0, SPEAK POSSIBILITY INTO REALITY.

SPEAK 2.0 is designed as an evergreen learning and development opportunity. It includes self-paced modules, in-person virtual practice sessions, and one-on-one or small group support to provide flexibility, accessibility, and ease for our program participants.

SPEAK! Canada Testimonials

The value I received was EPIC ...

"I knew if I was going to successfully execute strategy and enable transformation, I needed to improve my ability to connect with people and clearly articulate the destination and vision of how to get there.  SPEAK! Canada taught more than the fundamentals of speaking effectively. Charlene provided performance coaching that challenged me to align purpose and passion with a clear and concise message, delivered with confidence and conviction. For someone that said she would never be a dynamic speaker, the value I received was EPIC and is the start of a new love affair with speaking for impact."  - Marianne Bell

SPEAK! Canada was such a powerful experience for me.

"Not only was I inspired by Charlene and the other women I met there, I was motivated to share my story to help others.  Over the course of the 6 weeks I learned to appreciate that if I take the time to organize and practice, I will be able to communicate my story with confidence and clarity."  Cathy Hicks

What women are saying about SPEAK! Canada

I had no idea what I wanted to do in the world and how I wanted to communicate what I was up to.  Char, along with PowHERhouse Media Group, gave me a platform to stand on. The SPEAK! Canada program was an amazing push forward into recognizing my voice and how much I wanted to advocate for the Oil and Gas industry AND the environment.  Speaking up in the small safety net of the program gave me the confidence to start sharing with broader audiences what our oil industry has done in Canada for Canada.

What women are saying about SPEAK! Canada

My lived experience can speak to the positive impact Charlene has had on my own life and career.  Without Char and PowHERhouse, I would not have been on the TEDX stage in Vancouver in October of 2016, an event which remains a significant highlight for me.  She has managed to galvanize a vast tribe of not only strong women but powHERful speakers.  I adore this women!

I have been honored to work with Charlene through the LEAP Learning Lab, SPEAK program. Charlene’s facilitation of the program was well organized, communicated and gave me a series of tangible results that have been powerful in my own business. Most importantly, she creates an environment of comfort and support, empowering participants to grow themselves and their business. She has been a fantastic mentor, offering constructive, honest feedback. She has a brilliant business mindset and I would encourage others to take the opportunity to work with her.

When I first came across SPEAK! Canada, I really didn’t see how it would benefit me since I have taken several speaking programs in the past and have been speaking for many years.  Once I was in the program, I realized it was unlike any other program I had experienced.

Charlene was masterful at drawing out greater clarity within me, really nailing it, resulting in a crystal-clear message.  The intimate nature, one-on-one attention and peer support fostered a quick learning curve and was highly effective in getting almost immediate feedback.

If you know Charlene, she does everything with purpose and with the end in mind. Upon completion of SPEAK, I ended up several deliverables that I have been able to implement immediately.

Thank-you Charlene, and thank you SPEAK! Canada!

"The SPEAK program is so much more than learning how to present and speak. I found a community of women that offer support, encouragement and friendship.  My journey with SPEAK has really tapped into my purpose and helped me dig deep to cut through all the BS and just get to the heart of my matter.  The coaching and accountability is bang on.  The modules are perfectly timed and progress beautifully to uncover clarity and a strong message.
I can’t recommend SPEAK enough.  In fact I will probably come back to this program over and over!"

“After writing my book, I found it daunting to try and boil down 250+ pages into a concise, impactful and powerful talk. While I have been public speaking since childhood and routinely give presentations in my corporate career, I found myself lacking confidence and clarity when it came to telling my own story.  As I found myself on the verge of publishing my deeply personal book, I decided to join the SPEAK! Canada program though the LEAP Learning Lab.  My goal was to find clarity, build confidence and launch my speaking career.  I found an amazingly supportive group who consistently showed up and committed to doing the work.  Charlene pushed me just past my comfort zone to that point where real growth occurs.  She created a safe environment for the participants to share the most vulnerable parts of themselves.  The alumni participation in the program was excellent and provided the support we needed to reach the finish!  I am now able to speak openly about my work and have the confidence to ask for opportunities I want.  If you have a desire to find your voice, get clear on your message, own your work in this world and are ready to grow, SPEAK! Canada is for you!”
