30-Day Speaking Challenge

The 30-day plan

One skill at a time. No rushing.

Each week builds on the last. You will not move to the next focus until the current one feels natural.

Week 1

Speak in structure

One finance topic a day. One framework. You practice until structure is the first thing that kicks in, not an afterthought.

Week 2

Know your audience

Same topic, three versions. Once each for your team, for a peer, for the CEO. Same facts, different conversation.

Week 3

Numbers into stories

You learn to talk about numbers in a way that non-finance people can understand and act on.

Week 4

Hold your ground

Live one-to-one calls with me. I push back. I challenge. You learn to stay clear and respond with conviction.

Ten to fifteen minutes a day. No audience. No script. Just you, a topic, and the practice.

How it works

In numbers.

Questions

Before you decide.

Ten to fifteen minutes a day. A few minutes to think through your topic, and under a minute to record. It fits around a busy schedule because it was built for one.

No. Your practice account is private. I am the only person who can see what you post. No exposure, no risk, no judgement from colleagues.

You can catch up. What matters more than perfection is that you keep going. The improvement comes from consistency over time, not from never missing a day.

Not at all. Most people who join are already decent communicators. What they want is to be sharper, more structured and more credible in high-stakes moments. That is what this is for.

Speak up. Get noticed.
