Who It’s For

Professionals, entrepreneurs, educators, and anyone who wants to feel more confident and at ease

when speaking in front of others — including those who identify as introverted, quiet, or nervous

about public speaking. Whether you’re preparing for a big presentation, leading a meeting, or

simply want to express yourself more clearly and authentically, this course will help you

strengthen your presence, overcome self-doubt, and connect naturally with any audience. No

acting experience required.

What It’s About

In this engaging, experiential 3-week course, leadership coach and communication specialist

Rachel Bellack shares proven tools to help you speak with authenticity, calm, and confidence —

without trying to become someone you’re not. Drawing from techniques used by actors and

leaders alike, Rachel helps you uncover your natural strengths and presence so your true voice

can come through clearly and powerfully. Through supportive, hands-on exercises and personalized feedback, you’ll practice managing nerves, projecting confidence, and communicating with ease — whether you’re in front of a

crowd or in a one-on-one conversation.

Topics Include

• Building confidence and managing performance anxiety
• Using body language and vocal presence to communicate clearly
• Finding your authentic voice and personal speaking style
• Thinking on your feet and handling the unexpected
• Crafting messages that connect and engage
• Quieting the inner critic and embracing your natural strengths
• And more!

You’ll Walk Away With

Practical tools and a renewed sense of confidence to speak and present authentically — in ways that feel natural, not forced. You’ll leave with the mindset and skillset to express yourself clearly, manage nerves, and connect with any audience through genuine presence and ease.
