Topic and program
How to love speaking in public,
even if you hate it now
Technology gives us more opportunities to speak out than ever before: We can make videos, host webinars, get on podcasts and TV, as well as present at meetings and speak on stage. All of these platforms can accelerate your business and career. It allows people to find you, learn about your message and ideas, your brand.
But, many of us are petrified of being seen and heard in high-stakes situations because experience has taught us that speaking our truth is dangerous.
We’re taught that fear is inevitable, and the only solution is to push past it. We buy into the myth that speaking our truth is an all-or-nothing deal: Either bear the burden of crushing stress or stay silent.
The truth is, if we go back to the root causes and resolve those past experiences, we can let go of the fear for good. We can learn to stand in our own truth with power, presence, and vulnerability—and to finally receive the attention of our audience in a way that energizes and inspires us to be our highest selves.
In this talk, Linda will teach you to:
- Pinpoint why public speaking stresses you out
- Break down fear into manageable components
- Reclaim your confidence physically, emotionally, and mentally
- Let go of the mental stories and self-talk scripts that aren’t serving you
- Embrace the power of your vulnerability and stand in your authentic presence
This talk can be customized in length from 30 – 90 minutes. The workshop can be customized for half-day, full-day, and 2-day experiences.
Linda’s presentation was full of energy with useful techniques and insights. I strongly recommend her and can assure you she will have your group engaged.
Linda’s message addressing emotional roadblocks and perceptions is more helpful than all the classes I’ve taken.
Wonderful seminar addressing how women communicate. Amazing tone and pace of engagement and conversation.
Linda has a wonderful way of connecting with a group. Thank you for sharing your story in an effort to help others better themselves.
The talk was very empowering! I love that it addressed the root of the problem and not just the symptoms.

Linda’s talk on Imposter Syndrome was amazing. She went above and beyond to provide a safe space for underrepresented founders to explore the topic, providing a pre-talk survey to gather information on our group and follow-up resources. We loved working with Linda and hope to collaborate more in the future!
Huge thanks to Linda for being so amazing to work with! She uplifted our audience with her good energy, engaging stories, and takeaways. Linda was extremely easy to work with before the event and a joy to be around during it. And the dancing was a fantastic touch! 🙂
The value you added to the event was tremendous!
Linda’s presentation wasn’t just great, it was engaging in a way few speakers do. She had our audience dancing, moving and singing. She was a great opener to our event… and will be for yours!
