Speaker's Development Lab |
Get the feedback you need, without the risk!Most speakers have material. Fewer know if it’s actually working. Speaker's Lab is where you find out. It’s one of the most effective ways to improve quickly, and it’s a FREE benefit for our Professional and Academy members. That matters because getting thoughtful, high-quality feedback from established speakers, people who have built real speaking businesses, is not exactly an everyday luxury. This is where you test ideas, tighten what’s close, and figure out what needs to shift before it counts. It’s the secret sauce for turning “pretty good” into “that really works.” You’ll get honest, constructive feedback you can use right away. You’ll also get to see what other speakers in the chapter are working on, which makes it a great way to connect, learn, and stay in the loop. Whether you’re just getting started or refining polished material, Speaker's Lab gives you a smart, supportive space to do the work that actually moves you forward. Participation is open to Professional Members and those enrolled in the Speakers Development Academy. |

I love the professional-level quality of the feedback I get when I go to Speaker's Lab. I have the opportunity to get specific comments on content, delivery, staging, tone ... you name it! As an evaluator, I get to witness many styles and observe techniques I can add to my toolkit. All of this is to say that Speaker's Lab has made me a better speaker. The collaboration and support are phenomenal.

| Why practice in front of others?
Because growth is a little awkward sometimes. Trying something new in front of real people can feel vulnerable, especially when you’re testing new material, adjusting a story, or figuring out what lands and what doesn’t. But that’s also where the good stuff happens. Speaker's Lab gives you a safe space to practice, refine, and get better. Everyone in the room is there to offer honest, helpful feedback in a way that supports the speaker and respects the work. It’s a chance to stretch, learn, and improve, without having to guess what’s working. How each Speaker's Lab works
