The Speakers Breakthrough
Retreat
APRIL 23-26, 2020, BECKET, MA
For Women who want to overcome the fear of speaking and delight in the limelight
A Transformation to Speaking Confidence for Women
Calling on authors, coaches, speakers, entrepreneurs and business professionals who are expanding their visibility, their clientele, and leadership.
You’ve got dreams of what you could be and what you could do.
But the idea of presenting in a certain situation – a meeting, networking, in front of a certain size crowd or the camera lens fills you with dread.
Sound familiar?
The racing heart, sweaty pits, brain freeze…
Worrying about being judged and what others will think…
Wondering if you’re good enough, interesting enough, expert enough…
Avoiding opportunities to speak in public or on video…
Feeling like the best-kept secret…
Seeing others putting themselves out there and you wondering why it feels so darn hard…
It actually makes a lot of sense.
We receive so much judgement from the media, in school and sometimes, our families.
You’re not hopeless or damaged in feeling this way. And you’re definitely not alone.
Best of all, you’re not stuck with it!
Close your eyes and imagine…
How nice it is to feel calm and confident speaking in front of a crowd.
No more racing heart, sweaty palms or dry mouth.
No longer concerned with whether you are good enough, expert enough, how you look and sound, and who sees you online.
Finally getting out there and being seen by others as a thought leader in your field.
Not pretending to be something you’re not; just being your natural and authentic self and it’s good enough.
Making the impact in the world that you’ve always wanted to make, helping the people who need you the most because you’re no longer hiding in the shadows.
That’s why I developed

I am a frequent paid speaker but still experienced fairly significant stage fright before getting on stage, particularly when I was presenting new material. Linda helped uncover the roots of my fear and gave me techniques to move past them.
The framing around curiosity has been pretty much life-changing. The dread I used to feel before speaking engagements is now completely gone.
When my two businesses took off, I was suddenly asked to give talks and received all kinds of media attention. It felt like so much pressure and my nerves got to me. My hands would shake, my chest and stomach tightened up, and I couldn’t catch my breath. I really wanted to just be authentically me and not worry about the audience.
I’ve come a long way with just a few sessions with Linda. Yesterday I spoke at a conference for women and had so much fun!! I was the only one on the panel to receive applause after my answer. I’ve gotten over my fear of public speaking and have worked very hard to strengthen my craft, so that was an incredibly special moment for me.
Over these three days together you’ll:
Identify the embarrassing and painful experiences that got you to where you are today so that you shift away from fear and into confidence.
Learn to bring out your best vibe so you express your inherent charismatic presence.
Reframe the cultural and family beliefs that you unconsciously adopted so they no longer have the power to hold you back and you can finally feel comfortable sharing your true and authentic self.
Learn to bring out your best vibe so you express your inherent charismatic presence.

Hey! I’m Linda Ugelow!
The Speakers Breakthrough Retreat is an uncommon 4 days that gets to the root of clearing anxiety around being seen once and for all. You won’t find a program like this anywhere else. Nothing else of its kind exists.
I created this method from the experience of dealing with my own fear. I combined my 40 years as a performer and my background in psychology and Expressive Therapies, plus training in Gateless Writing, to create a transformational process that is both rapid and fun.
I wanted to do more video, as a way to share information with people. Being on camera always triggered a long-held fear of being worried about what others would think, a concern about saying the right thing and all kinds of self-judgement. I tried to stop the inner dialogue myself, with limited success, and wanted to put this behind me once and for all so I’d be comfortable and more effective on camera.
After working with Linda, I finally feel calm in front of the camera, free of worry and my intense inner dialog. It feels so good to not be carrying around all the junk in my head and like making videos is no big deal.
After years of seeking resolution and freedom around my negative self worth from “heavily credentialed” therapists, I continued to feel like a victim.
After a few sessions with Linda, I feel like a new person—doing things I would have never had the courage before to do.
I wanted to be able to speak to a large crowd without freaking out, feeling so nervous, rushing and having difficulty focusing. I felt confident in my material and pitching myself. I just wasn’t confident I could do it in front of a group of 70.
After working with Linda, I gave my best ever “performance.” I was lively, informal, funny and clear. I was able to deliver the content I wanted without my notes. People raved to me and each other. I’d say ‘I nailed it’.
