Good. The world doesn’t need more generic speakers—it needs you.

This course centers on authenticity from start to finish. It’s about showing up as your whole self, even when your voice shakes. (Although, we will share simple techniques to help you avoid the shaking voice.)

From Day One’s re-framing of what it means to be a confident speaker to Day Five’s “Genuine Impact Rehearsal,” you’ll learn to express yourself clearly, confidently, and truthfully.

Definitely. Every part of the Neutralize Your Nerves system is designed to help you feel steady and clear in high-stakes moments—and job interviews are some of the highest-stakes conversations out there.

On Day One, you'll learn a few key techniques to change your mental approach to interviews so you can show up sharp and grounded.

Day Two gives you a simple way to organize your thoughts for more power and clarity (be sure to check your workbook for particularly helpful job-interview-related examples).

Day Four's "Speakers' Stress Cleanse" is an excellent preparation tool to use during the 24 hours before your interview. Whether you're meeting on Zoom or in person, you'll walk in focused, confident, and more like yourself.

Yes, especially if you're ready to grow.

This isn't a "how to speak" course, it's a "how to feel calm, confident, and clear while you speak" course. The more visible you get, and the bigger your opportunities are, the more likely nerves will creep back in.

This toolkit helps you rise to every new level with grace and groundedness. The Speaker's Stress Cleanse shared on Day Four, and the Chapter Structure shared on Day Two are particularly helpful techniques for professional speakers, but they are ones that not enough speakers know about yet!

Absolutely. New leadership roles bring new pressure. Fortunately, this system gives you tools to meet it with clarity and calm.

You’ll learn how to keep a nervous moment from ruining your poise and enhance rapport and connection with your team members (Day One), organize your message in a way that feels authentic but focused, and use in-the-moment “Reset Tools” to help you recover fast if nerves sneak up mid-meeting (Day Two).

Plus, on Day Three, you will learn how to warm-up your voice to sound grounded and clear.

Voice is a powerful but often overlooked leadership tool; learning how to use your physical voice authentically and effectively can give you an added professional edge.

You don’t have to become a professional speaker or feel like someone you’re not to be a great leader—you just need a way to show up as your best self more reliably, even under pressure.

And there are techniques in this course that can help you with that!

No problem! These tools work beautifully for introverts.

In fact, they were partly designed because Mari is an introvert herself (even though she plays an extrovert convincingly on stage!).

This system isn’t about becoming someone you’re not. It’s about giving your authentic self the support it needs to shine when the spotlight hits.

As a bonus, many introverts are also over-thinkers who can think themselves into a severe bout of nervousness if they are not careful. The Rumination Redirect we share on Day Four may be particularly helpful for you.

This course takes a different approach. And, for many folks, that different approach can make a profound difference.

The reason for that is, most speaking clubs focus on what you say and how you perform. This course focuses on managing your nervous system and your focus before, during, and after you give a presentation.

You will learn techniques to make preparing and remembering your content faster and easier. And more to the point, on Days Two and Three, you will learn vocal and physical techniques that most speaking clubs never teach but which help you both feel calmer and deliver a more genuine and charismatic performance.

This is pre-stage work that changes your on-stage impact.

It probably will! The good news is, you’re not broken, you’ve just been working with the wrong tools.

Nervousness isn’t a character flaw; it’s a pattern. And patterns can be changed.

While it is true that people who deal with anxiety due to biology or past trauma may need to be particularly mindful as they develop their Speaking Skills, it is not true that your current anxiety levels are predictive of your future speaking success.

On Day One, you’ll learn the science behind why feeling nervous is a poor predictor of performance and a simple technique to use right before you speak that has been proven to both reduce anxiety and increase how well you are perceived by an audience.

On Day Four, you’ll discover the Rumination Redirect, which is a potent tool to help you stop spirals of nervousness before they take over.

You can shine on stage with proper support! And I would like to be part of that support.

Depending on how you are neurodivergent, you may already be prone to nervous system overstimulation, which can make public speaking feel torturous. But there are better ways.

This course isn't filled with problematic suggestions such as "Be sure to make eye contact with the audience." Instead, you’ll get powerful, body-brain-based tools to help you help your nervous system regulate.

Tools such as "The Presence Press," introduced on Day Two, can help you calm your nervous system any time when your nervous system begins to flood with adrenaline.

This program focuses on simple tools that are adaptable for many ways of thinking, feeling, and showing up.

Because it is a digital course, it is easy to take it at your own pace and repeat it when you need to. I also firmly believe in "take what works for you and leave what doesn't. " So, give it a try! It may be a vital piece of your speaking and confidence solution puzzle.

Perfect! This is a great time to train.

These tools apply to any high-stakes moment: interviews, team meetings, difficult conversations, job pitches, video content, or live events. If your voice matters and the stakes feel high, this system can help.

You can use "Feel-Know-Do" from Day Two for clarity in daily conversations and meetings, the "Level-Up Warmup" from Day Three for ongoing calm and confidence, and the "Rumination Redirect" from Day Four whenever doubts show up whether you are doing a speech or not!

Absolutely. This system isn’t about rigid memorizing of content. (Yours or mine.)

It is about clarity, presence, and connection. On Day Three, you’ll learn a technique to organize your content and another to rehearse your content that will help you feel grounded and confident in your message—even if you don’t remember every word.

This program isn’t just about mindset—it’s a body-brain reset.

On Day One, we introduce the connection between mindset and pre-training your nervous system.

Day Two and Three teach physical and vocal tools you can use to regulate your system even when your thoughts are racing.

Day Four gives you a strategy for preparing your body and nervous system to gracefully handle extra nervousness and adrenaline should you experience a wave of nerves just before your big moment.

YES. While the course is designed as a five-day system for lasting change, you can absolutely benefit from it in a hurry.

And... I don't recommend cramming the entire course in one sitting — that's likely to leave you frazzled.

Here's how to make it work without overwhelming yourself- Use the Quick Start Sequence outlined below.

1. Watch "The Gift of Nervousness: 3 Keys to Reset Your Mindset" (Day One – 12 min)
2. Watch "Emergency Tools to Calm Nerves While Speaking" (Day Two – 8 min)
3. Try "The Level-Up Warmup for Vocal and Physical Presence" (Day Three – 10 min)
4. Wrap up with "The Rumination Redirect" (Day Four – 12 min)

In under an hour, you'll gain science-backed tools to help you feel steady, prepared, and like your authentic self.

Then go relax — take a walk in nature, enjoy a nourishing meal with a friend or loved one, and trust that you've got this.

You can return for the complete five-day experience when the time is right.

Most lessons are under 15 minutes. With a few longer lessons and activities sprinkled in.

You will be glad to know, the program is set up to build on itself and give you momentum and not overwhelm you.

The Neutralize Your Nerves  system is structured as a five-day sequence with a  module for each day that includes 2–3 short video lessons or activities that take between 12 and 25 minutes to complete.

Most people move through a full day's content in 45 minutes or less.

You can take it one day at a time, binge-watch it over a weekend, or spread the course out over a couple of weeks — it's totally up to you.

That said, we do recommend you complete your first run-through within 10 days to 2 weeks to get the full impact. If you're moving quickly, we suggest you set aside at least two days so you can fully experience the 24-hour Speaker's Stress Cleanse from the Day Four lesson (it's a game changer).

No stress—you’ll have continued access to the materials. 

You can binge the program over a weekend, stretch it over a few weeks, or revisit key tools anytime a big opportunity (or big nerves) appear.

You can even squeeze a bit of learning into a break here and there, the video lessons are short and designed to be digestible, even with a full plate.

You get lifetime access to the entire course.

You can revisit your favorite tools, refresh your skills, or re-download the workbook anytime.

Whether it's your first time prepping for a talk or your fiftieth, all the resources will be right here when you need them!

No. Because of  the digital nature of this program and instant access to all course materials, I do not offer refunds.

But I’ve poured our best tools, strategies, and support into this program — and I am confident that if you do the activities and use the resources in the course, you will get value out of it for years to come.

Absolutely! Once you've watched all the video lessons and marked each non-video lesson as "Done," you'll automatically receive a downloadable, shareable Certificate of Completion straight to your inbox. You can print it, forward it to your boss, add it to your LinkedIn profile, or tuck it into your professional development portfolio. It's a tangible way to mark your progress — and to show others that you're investing in your communication skills and leadership presence.

Yes. This course is playful, and that's on purpose.

Growth happens more easily when there's room for play.

This program is lighthearted, encouraging, and designed to help you enjoy the process, not dread it. No pressure to be perfect—just space to explore, stretch, and discover what you're capable of.
