Own Your Story

Your story is ready—now it’s time to step into it fully.

In this final phase, we’ll focus on refining your delivery so that your story doesn’t just sound good—it feels powerful, authentic, and aligned with your truth. Whether you’re standing on a stage, sitting on a panel, or sharing your story in a more intimate setting, this phase will prepare you to own the space with confidence and clarity.

Telling your story is not just about the words—it’s about how you bring it to life. I’ll guide you through a process that empowers you to embody your story, allowing your voice, body, and presence to work together to create an unforgettable experience for your audience.

In This Phase, We’ll Focus On:

1. Mastering Your Presence

Confidence isn’t something you wait for—it’s something you cultivate. We’ll work on grounding techniques, breathing exercises, and visualization practices that will help you feel calm and centered, even when the spotlight is on you.

Grounding Techniques: Tools to anchor yourself before stepping into your moment.
Visualization & Intention Setting: Aligning your energy with the impact you want to create.
Mindset Shifts: Moving from fear of judgment to confidence in your truth.

2. Refining Verbal & Non-Verbal Delivery

Your words are only part of the story—how you deliver them matters just as much. We’ll fine-tune your tone, pacing, and emphasis to ensure your message resonates.

Pacing & Pauses: Using tempo and silence to build emotional tension and release.
Body Language & Gestures: Enhancing your message through intentional movement.
Facial Expressions & Eye Contact: Creating connection and trust with your audience.

3. Rehearsing with Purpose

Rehearsal isn’t about memorization—it’s about embodying your story so that it feels second nature. Together, we’ll practice delivering your story in a way that feels organic, authentic, and powerful.

Story Read-Throughs: Practicing full runs of your story with personalized feedback.
Iteration & Feedback: Making adjustments in real-time to enhance flow and impact.
Q&A Preparation (If Applicable): Equipping you to handle audience questions with grace and confidence.

What to Expect in This Phase:

Story Run-Throughs: We’ll rehearse your story with detailed feedback to fine-tune pacing, emotional beats, and delivery.
Presence & Energy Work: Techniques to manage nerves, stay grounded, and project confidence.
Audience Connection Strategies: Exploring ways to foster deeper connection, whether through eye contact, vulnerability, or humor.

Optional Add-On: Advanced Stage Presence Techniques

For those preparing for high-stakes events, we can also cover:

Handling Interruptions with Grace: Staying composed under unexpected circumstances.
Reading & Responding to Audience Energy: Adapting your delivery based on real-time feedback.
Using Visuals or Props Effectively: Enhancing your story’s impact with supporting visuals.

Why This Approach Works:

Confidence Through Embodiment: Grounding techniques and rehearsal build authentic confidence.
Connection Through Presence: Mastering non-verbal cues helps create deeper engagement.
Preparation for Real-World Challenges: Practicing audience interaction and unexpected moments equips you for success.

By the End of This Phase:

You’ll be ready to step onto any stage—literal or figurative—with clarity, confidence, and presence. Your story will not just be something you tell—it will be something you own. Whether you’re delivering a keynote, advocating for change, or sharing a deeply personal moment, you’ll leave your audience inspired and connected to your truth.

The Result: You, Fully Seen and Heard.

When you’ve completed these three phases—Discover Your Story, Shape the Narrative, and Own the Stage—you’ll not only have a compelling story to share, but also the tools and confidence to speak it boldly, authentically, and with lasting impact.
