"If you are on the fence about investing in yourself by signing up for HEROIC GRAD, let this be your little push to go for it. I encourage you to invest in the training and do what they tell you, even if you don’t initially understand, and put in the work. They are absolute professionals who you should trust with this training if you really want to speak professionally."

"HEROIC didn’t just elevate my craft—it calibrated my compass. It aligned me with a rare breed of humans: those who aren’t merely “public speakers,” but stewards of transformation. People who change the world one deliberately chosen word, pause, and presence at a time."

"There are few courses I’ve taken as an adult that I would label as life changing. HEROIC GRAD meets that mark. It’s not just the course content and learning. It’s the impact audiences will experience as a result. Even more so are the relationships we will continue building within our cohort. Each and every encounter was well thought out and in service of the learner."

"Working with the Performance Faculty at HEROIC has been the best investment - of not just monetary resources but time, emotion, and energy resources as well. Their experiences straighten learning curves as much as possible so that the student's journey is a faster line from start to finish than it would be without them. The ROI is immeasurable!"

"Last fall I sat in a room full of some of the most accomplished and fascinating people I had ever met. I was looking for a way to enhance my public-speaking abilities and stretch out of my comfort zone, and well…the Universe never fails! I attended HEROIC Public Speaking’s CORE program last October and was absolutely blown away. I knew I couldn’t stop there and had to jump into their GRAD Speech Writing & Performance Mastery program. Last week I graduated, and I’m unbelievably grateful for such an incredible experience. I learned, I grew, and most importantly, I got to connect with some of the most amazing people. My biggest thank you to the HEROIC Faculty and my incredible cohort for your love and support throughout this experience."

"A speech has the power to change the world… including you, the speaker! Some learning experiences are hard to describe. You can never quite convey the transformation that occurs within you or the lifelong friendships that you build. Unless you’ve experienced it, you can’t fully comprehend it. HEROIC forever changed my craft of professional speaking. More than writing and stage mastery, I found a 'family' of amazing people who helped me lean into the fullness of who I am. The 'too much' sentiment (said to me my whole life) has become my superpower onstage. Just when I thought I had given my all, the Faculty unlocked more—and my peers celebrated it! Heck, even my stage wardrobe was pushed to be bigger, brighter, bolder."

"For the last seven months, I’ve been enrolled with HEROIC to take my skills to the edge of my capability and beyond. I’m a self-proclaimed 'hater'—very discerning—and I’ve never been in a place quite like this. They tell me to take chances and support me through the awkward phase of turning the note or insight into a behavior. They hold me accountable with warmth and clarity. They encourage me to do the same for others, so a group of strangers become accountability partners on a painful journey of self-expression. They’ve built a culture that demands I treat my speech like it can change the world—and somehow, it’s actually fun. What happens in the room with expert faculty sustains far beyond it. Culture matters… and HEROIC has something special."

"I recently completed HEROIC's GRAD | Speech Writing & Stage Performance Mastery program, and I can honestly say it was one of the best professional investments I’ve ever made. Yes, I walked away with next-level speaking skills—but that was just the beginning. What I really gained? A fresh perspective on how I show up and communicate. A network of brilliant, driven professionals who will be lifelong allies. A new approach to my work that will serve me for the rest of my career.

It’s easy to hesitate before investing in yourself—but the right ones don’t just teach skills. They shift your thinking, connect you to a powerful community, and give you an edge that lasts. If you’ve been considering stepping up your presence, your impact, and your ability to own the room, this is the kind of training that changes everything."

"I’m happy to share that I’ve obtained a new certification: HEROIC GRAD | Speech Writing & Stage Performance Mastery! I first participated in HEROIC’s CORE, and then I signed up for a journey of learning how to craft a speech and take it onstage. And I loved every minute of it. It was transformative, emotional, and a lot of work. But I learned, I grew, and I will forever be better because of the experience—and most importantly, the PEOPLE I met on the journey."

"I can truly say that this experience was absolutely the best investment I could have made, with an immediate return on investment. HEROIC pours into each and every student. Their approach is genuine and their intentions are pure. I have never felt so supported. The entire team at HEROIC has my sincere gratitude and appreciation. I fully embrace the challenge to become an impactful speaker, one speech at a time."

"I thought I was signing up to become a trained keynote speaker. And yes, I did that—but what actually happened was so much deeper. I became a fuller, more grounded version of myself. I found my voice in a whole new way. I walked away with clarity, confidence, and a group of friendships I didn’t know I needed—but now can’t imagine being without. This wasn’t just about learning how to speak onstage. It was about learning how to be seen. How to serve. How to bring the audience with me—every step of the way. To the entire HEROIC team—thank you. You are masters at your craft, and you lead with such fierce care and integrity. You changed me."

"If you want to be like everyone else, live on autopilot. But if you want to next-level your life, do what only mildly crazy people do—sign up for training at the amazing HEROIC Public Speaking. Amazing faculty, experiential learning, students from across the country. Outside of my comfort zone? A little. Worth it? 150%! Can’t wait to use all of my new skills."

"I used to believe that performance and authenticity were opposites—but at HEROIC Public Speaking, I realized I had misunderstood what authenticity really means. The best speakers are performers, not for perfection, but for impact. Every gesture, pause, and tonal shift is crafted in service of the audience. This reframe was life-changing. It’s not about looking good—it’s about helping more powerfully. Grateful to the HEROIC team for showing me how excellence in my craft is a form of service."

"Don't question it. Just do it."

"This experience takes you across the whole spectrum from ideation, the process, to production. Since HEROIC is based on referrals, they deliver more than 150% to earn your trust and confidence. It's the best business model."

"Connection. Learning. Joy. These are just a few of the gifts I received from saying yes to a 7-month deep-dive with HEROIC Public Speaking. I enrolled with one goal—deliver a TED Talk—but I didn’t expect the transformation. I faced my inner critic, broke through old patterns, and discovered tools I didn’t know I needed. This experience pushed me, changed me, and opened my heart. The friendships, the growth, the magic—it will stay with me forever."
