Know What You’re Going to Do Before You Do It

Just the thought of forgetting your speech during a big presentation can make your heart race. All eyes focused on you. No one is there to feed you your next talking point. The adrenaline. The pressure. The fear.

‍

So some of us rely on our slides, or notes, or both. Some have even been known to write on their hands.

‍

But maybe you don’t need the slides or the notes to deliver a transformational experience.

‍

You see, there’s a better way to prepare for your speech.

‍

Because learning your material and delivering mic drop moments on stage happens during the creation stage, not after you’ve finished your slides.

‍

HEROIC has created a simple and effective process for content creation. A process that makes everything easier.

‍

Easier to generate content for your speech.

‍

Easier to remember what to say when you’re presenting.

‍

And easier for your audience to digest and understand.

‍

You’ll even discover how to use the power of staging to remember what comes next in your speech.

‍

Staging is the key to a compelling, natural, visually interesting and memorable performance. And there’s a surprising benefit to staging…it makes it easier to remember what you’re going to say!

‍

You’ll get detailed lessons about how to stage your speech (and, if you want it, you might even get live feedback from our HEROIC Performance Faculty. Maybe even from Michael and Amy!).

‍

Learn strategies used by the world’s best performers to transform your keynote presentation. You’ll discover:  

‍

• How to harness the power of muscle memory to learn your speech.

‍

• What three things will help you save the moment and save your show like a true professional when you forget your place―because it happens to everyone.

‍

• How to focus entirely on your actions while speaking to change the way your audience feels. You won’t have to think about what to say next, it will come to you in the moment.

‍

• Simple exercises you can use for better enunciation. These will help you feel more natural when speaking.

‍

• Why your rehearsal is not the reason you feel uncomfortable and rigid on stage. The problem is actually the opposite.

‍

We’ll share a time-tested and sophisticated process for knowing your speech so well that when you step on stage, you can be fully present in the moment.

‍

You’ll be more focused, more enthusiastic, and less stressed. And you’ll be prepared to give your best performance.

‍

So, are you ready to stop worrying about what to say next and start sharing your message with more impact, power, and confidence?

The Foundational 5

Most leaders think that to create a great speech, all they need to do is share the right information.

‍

So they cram all the information into slide presentations, charts and graphics. And then try to make all that information stick in the minds of the audience.  

‍

But information alone isn’t enough to inspire change.

‍

‍Everyone knows vegetables are healthier than sugar-filled delights like donuts, ice cream, and Skittles… but does that make you crave carrots?

‍

Everyone knows that exercising daily is good for your heart…but after a long day, binge-watching your favorite show is much more appealing than going to the gym.

‍

Everyone knows the best investment is in yourself… but how often does splurging on feel-good-in-the-moment consumer goods and new tech toys get in the way?

‍

‍Knowing isn’t enough. You have to make your audience feel. And when they feel, they’ll act.

‍

But starting with your slide presentation, adding a few transitions, and changing the images for your next big audience isn’t going to get the results you desire for yourself, your company, and your clients.

‍

To inspire your team, your potential clients, and your audiences to feel, think, and act differently, you need to redesign the way you create and craft a transformational presentation.

‍

‍There’s a better way. And it starts with The Foundational 5.  

‍

‍This is the basic structure for creative and inspiring content development, and it works for speeches, projects, TEDx-style talks, business pitches, even team presentations.

‍

After one of our students used The Foundational 5, he got the green light for a $50,000,000 project (yep, that’s not a typo, that’s seven zeros).

‍

We’ll show you exactly what The Foundational 5 are and how to use them to spark your creative process.

‍

You’ll also discover:

‍

• The key to finding inspiration in any creative endeavor.

‍

• How to trigger your creativity and what tools work best for you.

‍

• The two parts of your speech that audiences always remember and how to polish them to make sure they make a lasting impact.

‍

• How to tailor your presentation without customizing it and starting from zero for every new audience.

‍

• Whom to build your speech for―this specific section of your audience is the one that needs to hear you the most. You’ll learn how to engage them and give them exactly what they need.

‍

• The specific 3-part formula for inspiring your listeners that has transformed how thousands of entrepreneurs and business leaders motivate their teams.

‍

Whether you’re trying to come up with your next breakthrough entrepreneurial idea, the next topic for your book, or the perfect way to persuade your team to make a change, the Foundational 5 will help you get more results, faster.

‍

‍Stop speaking and start performing.

‍

Discover how to give your audience everything they need for the transformation they deserve.

‍

‍You’ll leave our HEROIC campus ready to get into your creative flow faster, transform your speech, and make big commitments to leave a lasting impact.

‍

Can you imagine how The Foundational 5 can transform your message, impact, and revenue?

Bridge The Gap

The right story can drive your message home, inspire your team, and form an emotional connection between you and your listeners.

‍

But crafting a story that’s relevant to your audience, appealing to everyone, emotionally engaging, captivating, authentic, AND entertaining is a challenge.

‍

And on top of all that, you need a story that creates connection.

‍

They say the key to connecting with your audience is to be vulnerable and open up on stage.

‍

‍But that’s not how you build trust.

‍

‍Simply sharing your scars with your audience isn’t the only key to connecting. In fact, it can backfire. There’s a better way to connect… a better way to tell stories.

‍

‍But it’s not about sharing your life story.

‍

‍Contrary to popular belief, you'll be surprised to discover that most audience members don’t care that much about your “origin story.”

‍

There is something they care about much more (we’ll show you what it is and how to use it for leverage).

‍

It all starts with a simple structure you can use every single time you tell a story so you can engage your audience, share your big idea, and persuade listeners to take action.

‍

This foundational storytelling structure is used in almost every award-winning TV show, Hollywood movie, and Broadway show. We’ll walk you through this ultra-effective storytelling process created by one of the most famous ancient philosophers (and no, it’s not Joseph Campbell).

‍

During your two days at our HEROIC campus, you’ll learn how to stage and craft every moment of any story so you can hold the audience in the palm of your hand throughout your entire presentation.

‍

We’ll also show you:

‍

• How to empathize with your audience and understand what the world looks like to them (this is essential to shift the mindsets of your listeners).

‍

• The four consequences (and the four rewards) you can use to get people to buy into your big idea fast.

‍

• Why you’ll have much more impact when your personal story solves a big problem for the audience (this makes your story more captivating, interesting, and appealing).

‍

• How to master the power of contrast to take your audience on a roller coaster of emotions (content may be King, but contrast is Queen, Emperor, and Sovereign).

‍

• The secret to putting your listeners inside your story (using stagecraft, the present-tense technique, the essential storytelling framework, and more).  

‍

• How to use your voice so that it resonates with people emotionally (but without increasing your volume).

‍

• How to communicate confidence and power on stage (but not with the awkward “power poses” most coaches recommend).

‍

• The key to creating a massive curiosity gap and keeping your listeners engaged and interested in your stories (and give meeting planners what they are looking for).

‍

• Why most of your stories are way too long and how to fix them (and never give a boring presentation again).

‍

Master the art of storytelling, and you’ll capture the hearts of your audience and form a real, meaningful, and lasting connection.

‍

Are you ready to learn the simple storytelling structure that will keep your audience on the edge of their seats?

The Art of Rehearsing

Before you pitch a new idea, give your presentation to a new group of investors, or get on stage to give your speech to an eager audience with high expectations, you prepare (hopefully).

‍

But is what you’re doing working?

‍

We know we need to rehearse our presentations to be successful. But what does a REAL rehearsal look like?

‍

Some of us just click through our slide decks. Others review their notes. Maybe you mumble your speech in front of the computer screen… Boom! Rehearsal done.

‍

‍It’s hard to improve your performance if you don’t rehearse like a professional performer (even if you’re not one).

‍

‍To achieve the kind of impact you dream of, get the response you desire, and transform your audience, you need the kind of rehearsal process that delivers results.

‍

A rehearsal process that allows you to create a connection between your ideas and your audience. One that gives you the confidence you need to land it when the big day comes. One that makes actually giving your speech the easiest part of the entire process.

‍

If you’re not sure now, within just the first two hours of this breakthrough event you’ll realize that your current rehearsal process just won’t cut it.

‍

But we can change that.

‍

‍Start rehearsing your presentation with the 7-step rehearsal process.

‍

‍HEROIC’s 7-step rehearsal process is the key to preparing and rehearsing your speech like a performer.

‍

It’s the best way to improve your valuable content and perform it in a way that lets you be as compelling and impactful as possible, every time.

‍

We’ll take you step by step through each of the 7 steps and we’ll even show you:

‍

• How to transform your speech into a conversation between you and the audience (connect faster and get your listeners to buy into your big idea).

‍

• How to leverage the power of operative words (make it easy for your audience to get back on track when their minds wander).

‍

• How to content map your speech (if you’ve ever been told you talk too fast, this is the solution―and you DON’T need to talk slower).

‍

• How to overcome “speech perfectionism” (and why it’s absolutely essential for full expression).

‍

• The trick to discover whether your speech will work or not (before you perform it in a high-stakes situation).

‍

• How to ensure you won’t have wardrobe malfunctions (avoid embarrassing and revealing moments on stage).

‍

• Ultra-effective ways to block and stage your speech (eliminate wandering, pacing, or paralysis on stage and radiate confidence in every move).

‍

• How to rehearse without ever having to memorize (and without needing your notes).

‍

• The feedback secret that will change how you see your speech (and any business or personal project) forever.

‍

During this type of rehearsal, you’ll work on small sections until you nail it. And when you get it right and feel the excitement, satisfaction, and joy of success, you’ll be more prepared to make the impact you and your audience deserve.

‍

Because when you focus on what you want your audience to feel during your speech, it’s much easier to adjust your speech to make it more compelling and more engaging.

‍

That’s the power of rehearing like a performer.

‍

Are you prepared to give the best performances of your life?

‍Everyone knows vegetables are healthier than sugar-filled delights like donuts, ice cream, and Skittles… but does that make you crave carrots?

‍

Everyone knows that exercising daily is good for your heart…but after a long day, binge-watching your favorite show is much more appealing than going to the gym.

‍

Everyone knows the best investment is in yourself… but how often does splurging on feel-good-in-the-moment consumer goods and new tech toys get in the way?

‍

‍Knowing isn’t enough. You have to make your audience feel. And when they feel, they’ll act.

‍

But starting with your slide presentation, adding a few transitions, and changing the images for your next big audience isn’t going to get the results you desire for yourself, your company, and your clients.

‍

To inspire your team, your potential clients, and your audiences to feel, think, and act differently, you need to redesign the way you create and craft a transformational presentation.

‍

‍There’s a better way. And it starts with The Foundational 5.  

‍

‍This is the basic structure for creative and inspiring content development, and it works for speeches, projects, TEDx-style talks, business pitches, even team presentations.

‍

After one of our students used The Foundational 5, he got the green light for a $50,000,000 project (yep, that’s not a typo, that’s seven zeros).

‍

We’ll show you exactly what The Foundational 5 are and how to use them to spark your creative process.

‍

You’ll also discover:

‍

• The key to finding inspiration in any creative endeavor.

‍

• How to trigger your creativity and what tools work best for you.

‍

• The two parts of your speech that audiences always remember and how to polish them to make sure they make a lasting impact.

‍

• How to tailor your presentation without customizing it and starting from zero for every new audience.

‍

• Whom to build your speech for―this specific section of your audience is the one that needs to hear you the most. You’ll learn how to engage them and give them exactly what they need.

‍

• The specific 3-part formula for inspiring your listeners that has transformed how thousands of entrepreneurs and business leaders motivate their teams.

‍

Whether you’re trying to come up with your next breakthrough entrepreneurial idea, the next topic for your book, or the perfect way to persuade your team to make a change, the Foundational 5 will help you get more results, faster.

‍

‍Stop speaking and start performing.

‍

Discover how to give your audience everything they need for the transformation they deserve.

‍

‍You’ll leave our HEROIC campus ready to get into your creative flow faster, transform your speech, and make big commitments to leave a lasting impact.

‍

Can you imagine how The Foundational 5 can transform your message, impact, and revenue?

Bridge The Gap

The right story can drive your message home, inspire your team, and form an emotional connection between you and your listeners.

‍

But crafting a story that’s relevant to your audience, appealing to everyone, emotionally engaging, captivating, authentic, AND entertaining is a challenge.

‍

And on top of all that, you need a story that creates connection.

‍

They say the key to connecting with your audience is to be vulnerable and open up on stage.

‍

‍But that’s not how you build trust.

‍

‍Simply sharing your scars with your audience isn’t the only key to connecting. In fact, it can backfire. There’s a better way to connect… a better way to tell stories.

‍

‍But it’s not about sharing your life story.

‍

‍Contrary to popular belief, you'll be surprised to discover that most audience members don’t care that much about your “origin story.”

‍

There is something they care about much more (we’ll show you what it is and how to use it for leverage).

‍

It all starts with a simple structure you can use every single time you tell a story so you can engage your audience, share your big idea, and persuade listeners to take action.

‍

This foundational storytelling structure is used in almost every award-winning TV show, Hollywood movie, and Broadway show. We’ll walk you through this ultra-effective storytelling process created by one of the most famous ancient philosophers (and no, it’s not Joseph Campbell).

‍

During your two days at our HEROIC campus, you’ll learn how to stage and craft every moment of any story so you can hold the audience in the palm of your hand throughout your entire presentation.

‍

We’ll also show you:

‍

• How to empathize with your audience and understand what the world looks like to them (this is essential to shift the mindsets of your listeners).

‍

• The four consequences (and the four rewards) you can use to get people to buy into your big idea fast.

‍

• Why you’ll have much more impact when your personal story solves a big problem for the audience (this makes your story more captivating, interesting, and appealing).

‍

• How to master the power of contrast to take your audience on a roller coaster of emotions (content may be King, but contrast is Queen, Emperor, and Sovereign).

‍

• The secret to putting your listeners inside your story (using stagecraft, the present-tense technique, the essential storytelling framework, and more).  

‍

• How to use your voice so that it resonates with people emotionally (but without increasing your volume).

‍

• How to communicate confidence and power on stage (but not with the awkward “power poses” most coaches recommend).

‍

• The key to creating a massive curiosity gap and keeping your listeners engaged and interested in your stories (and give meeting planners what they are looking for).

‍

• Why most of your stories are way too long and how to fix them (and never give a boring presentation again).

‍

Master the art of storytelling, and you’ll capture the hearts of your audience and form a real, meaningful, and lasting connection.

‍

Are you ready to learn the simple storytelling structure that will keep your audience on the edge of their seats?

The Art of Rehearsing

Before you pitch a new idea, give your presentation to a new group of investors, or get on stage to give your speech to an eager audience with high expectations, you prepare (hopefully).

‍

But is what you’re doing working?

‍

We know we need to rehearse our presentations to be successful. But what does a REAL rehearsal look like?

‍

Some of us just click through our slide decks. Others review their notes. Maybe you mumble your speech in front of the computer screen… Boom! Rehearsal done.

‍

‍It’s hard to improve your performance if you don’t rehearse like a professional performer (even if you’re not one).

‍

‍To achieve the kind of impact you dream of, get the response you desire, and transform your audience, you need the kind of rehearsal process that delivers results.

‍

A rehearsal process that allows you to create a connection between your ideas and your audience. One that gives you the confidence you need to land it when the big day comes. One that makes actually giving your speech the easiest part of the entire process.

‍

If you’re not sure now, within just the first two hours of this breakthrough event you’ll realize that your current rehearsal process just won’t cut it.

‍

But we can change that.

‍

‍Start rehearsing your presentation with the 7-step rehearsal process.

‍

‍HEROIC’s 7-step rehearsal process is the key to preparing and rehearsing your speech like a performer.

‍

It’s the best way to improve your valuable content and perform it in a way that lets you be as compelling and impactful as possible, every time.

‍

We’ll take you step by step through each of the 7 steps and we’ll even show you:

‍

• How to transform your speech into a conversation between you and the audience (connect faster and get your listeners to buy into your big idea).

‍

• How to leverage the power of operative words (make it easy for your audience to get back on track when their minds wander).

‍

• How to content map your speech (if you’ve ever been told you talk too fast, this is the solution―and you DON’T need to talk slower).

‍

• How to overcome “speech perfectionism” (and why it’s absolutely essential for full expression).

‍

• The trick to discover whether your speech will work or not (before you perform it in a high-stakes situation).

‍

• How to ensure you won’t have wardrobe malfunctions (avoid embarrassing and revealing moments on stage).

‍

• Ultra-effective ways to block and stage your speech (eliminate wandering, pacing, or paralysis on stage and radiate confidence in every move).

‍

• How to rehearse without ever having to memorize (and without needing your notes).

‍

• The feedback secret that will change how you see your speech (and any business or personal project) forever.

‍

During this type of rehearsal, you’ll work on small sections until you nail it. And when you get it right and feel the excitement, satisfaction, and joy of success, you’ll be more prepared to make the impact you and your audience deserve.

‍

Because when you focus on what you want your audience to feel during your speech, it’s much easier to adjust your speech to make it more compelling and more engaging.

‍

That’s the power of rehearing like a performer.

‍

Are you prepared to give the best performances of your life?

Know What You’re Going to Do Before You Do It

Just the thought of forgetting your speech during a big presentation can make your heart race. All eyes focused on you. No one is there to feed you your next talking point. The adrenaline. The pressure. The fear.

‍

So some of us rely on our slides, or notes, or both. Some have even been known to write on their hands.

‍

But maybe you don’t need the slides or the notes to deliver a transformational experience.

‍

You see, there’s a better way to prepare for your speech.

‍

Because learning your material and delivering mic drop moments on stage happens during the creation stage, not after you’ve finished your slides.

‍

HEROIC has created a simple and effective process for content creation. A process that makes everything easier.

‍

Easier to generate content for your speech.

‍

Easier to remember what to say when you’re presenting.

‍

And easier for your audience to digest and understand.

‍

You’ll even discover how to use the power of staging to remember what comes next in your speech.

‍

Staging is the key to a compelling, natural, visually interesting and memorable performance. And there’s a surprising benefit to staging…it makes it easier to remember what you’re going to say!

‍

You’ll get detailed lessons about how to stage your speech (and, if you want it, you might even get live feedback from our HEROIC Performance Faculty. Maybe even from Michael and Amy!).

‍

Learn strategies used by the world’s best performers to transform your keynote presentation. You’ll discover:  

‍

• How to harness the power of muscle memory to learn your speech.

‍

• What three things will help you save the moment and save your show like a true professional when you forget your place―because it happens to everyone.

‍

• How to focus entirely on your actions while speaking to change the way your audience feels. You won’t have to think about what to say next, it will come to you in the moment.

‍

• Simple exercises you can use for better enunciation. These will help you feel more natural when speaking.

‍

• Why your rehearsal is not the reason you feel uncomfortable and rigid on stage. The problem is actually the opposite.

‍

We’ll share a time-tested and sophisticated process for knowing your speech so well that when you step on stage, you can be fully present in the moment.

‍

You’ll be more focused, more enthusiastic, and less stressed. And you’ll be prepared to give your best performance.

‍

So, are you ready to stop worrying about what to say next and start sharing your message with more impact, power, and confidence?

The Foundational 5

Most leaders think that to create a great speech, all they need to do is share the right information.

‍

So they cram all the information into slide presentations, charts and graphics. And then try to make all that information stick in the minds of the audience.  

‍

But information alone isn’t enough to inspire change.

‍

‍Everyone knows vegetables are healthier than sugar-filled delights like donuts, ice cream, and Skittles… but does that make you crave carrots?

‍

Everyone knows that exercising daily is good for your heart…but after a long day, binge-watching your favorite show is much more appealing than going to the gym.

‍

Everyone knows the best investment is in yourself… but how often does splurging on feel-good-in-the-moment consumer goods and new tech toys get in the way?

‍

‍Knowing isn’t enough. You have to make your audience feel. And when they feel, they’ll act.

‍

But starting with your slide presentation, adding a few transitions, and changing the images for your next big audience isn’t going to get the results you desire for yourself, your company, and your clients.

‍

To inspire your team, your potential clients, and your audiences to feel, think, and act differently, you need to redesign the way you create and craft a transformational presentation.

‍

We’ll show you exactly what The Foundational 5 are and how to use them to spark your creative process.

You’ll also discover:

‍

• The key to finding inspiration in any creative endeavor.

‍To achieve the kind of impact you dream of, get the response you desire, and transform your audience, you need the kind of rehearsal process that delivers results.

‍

A rehearsal process that allows you to create a connection between your ideas and your audience. One that gives you the confidence you need to land it when the big day comes. One that makes actually giving your speech the easiest part of the entire process.

‍

If you’re not sure now, within just the first two hours of this breakthrough event you’ll realize that your current rehearsal process just won’t cut it.

‍

But we can change that.

‍

‍Start rehearsing your presentation with the 7-step rehearsal process.

‍

‍HEROIC’s 7-step rehearsal process is the key to preparing and rehearsing your speech like a performer.

‍

It’s the best way to improve your valuable content and perform it in a way that lets you be as compelling and impactful as possible, every time.

‍

We’ll take you step by step through each of the 7 steps and we’ll even show you:

‍

• How to transform your speech into a conversation between you and the audience (connect faster and get your listeners to buy into your big idea).

‍

• How to leverage the power of operative words (make it easy for your audience to get back on track when their minds wander).

‍

• How to content map your speech (if you’ve ever been told you talk too fast, this is the solution―and you DON’T need to talk slower).

‍

• How to overcome “speech perfectionism” (and why it’s absolutely essential for full expression).

‍

• The trick to discover whether your speech will work or not (before you perform it in a high-stakes situation).

‍

• How to ensure you won’t have wardrobe malfunctions (avoid embarrassing and revealing moments on stage).

‍

• Ultra-effective ways to block and stage your speech (eliminate wandering, pacing, or paralysis on stage and radiate confidence in every move).

‍

• How to rehearse without ever having to memorize (and without needing your notes).

‍

• The feedback secret that will change how you see your speech (and any business or personal project) forever.

‍

During this type of rehearsal, you’ll work on small sections until you nail it. And when you get it right and feel the excitement, satisfaction, and joy of success, you’ll be more prepared to make the impact you and your audience deserve.

‍

Because when you focus on what you want your audience to feel during your speech, it’s much easier to adjust your speech to make it more compelling and more engaging.

‍

That’s the power of rehearing like a performer.

‍

Are you prepared to give the best performances of your life?
