5-minute mini-keynote that captures the essence of the full presentation you will master this year

What You'll Learn & Do

Module 1:
Refine Your Message

Module 1 digs in to define your differentiators.

  • The process of creating your 1-minute intro video provides a valuable foundation to begin the program.
  • The intentional outcome of Module 1 is to ground you into a well-practiced, but natural introduction that authentically shares who you are to connect more meaningfully in your next interaction.

Module 2:
Laying Your Foundation

Module 2 helps you to understand your personal process and start to become acquainted with  your delivery style. You will complete a solid outline utilizing these exploratory tools: 

  1. PASSION: Why YOU? 
  2. PURPOSE: WHY is this important? 
  3. POWER: What is your end game? 

Your tangible takeaway for Module 2 is a 2-minute CONNECTOR video. It combines your 1-minute intro with 1-minute about what you are up to in the world and who or why someone would connect with you. 

SPEAK provides a proven framework that has helped hundreds of women to land on what’s most important to them and say just that—in a clear and concise way. No extra words to distract. No unnecessary fluff.

Module 3:
On Your Mark

In Module 3 we start to get incredible traction. Let the refining and distillation process begin.

Our outcomes include:

  • A 90-second PITCH sharing with us the essence of your 5-minute mini-keynote. 
  • You will be invited to think about 3 key areas you’d like input or feedback on thus far in our private community group.

Module 4:
3 P's Practice, Preparedness & PowHER

In Module 4 we review 5 PowHERful Performance Pitfalls. 

  • We evaluate how we are doing in our journey to the stage – both personally and as a group.
  • You will deliver your 3-minute keynote teaser.
  • Your focus will be concise, on-the-mark content – no wasted words – and start to play with a powHERful delivery!

SPEAK provides a safe space among peers to find your voice, practice clarity of expression, and receive valuable feedback.

Module 5:
Mastering Your Delivery with Magnetism

Module 5 focuses on your delivery ~ polishing up your overall package. This week is about process not perfection.

  • We discuss  integrating your body, voice and energy to bring it all to the stage.
  • Practice! Practice!  Practice!
  • In video format, you will deliver your 5-minute keynote video from start to finish – a dress rehearsal – which we will continue to polish in preparation for our Presentation Celebration. 

Module 6:
Presentation Celebration!

Module 6 is all about celebration! Each program participant is invited to share your presentation in a way that works for you! 

Participants are encouraged to continue to build into their SPEAK capacity and strengths in the following ways:

  • As an SPEAK 2.0, we invite you to become a peer mentor in our online private community;
  • Feel free to share the pitch and/or presentation opportunities you are currently working on for practice and feedback;
  • Stay in the loop with upcoming opportunities and events with PowHERhouse as we re-launch our PowHERtalks events series and continue to expand our SPEAK 2.0 program globally.

SPEAK places an emphasis on delivery, including connecting with your breath, body, and very best intentions as you prepare for your next opportunity.

Hear From the Alumni

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."

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.

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.

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. 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!
