BORN WITH SPEAKING SKILLS = BULLSH*T
You can watch my Epic Sizzle Reel down belowโbut once, I was the shy little girl on the left.
At 4, I avoided even calling friends because talking on the phone terrified me. Iโd rather stay invisible than risk being seen or making a mistake.
At 12, I only survived presentations when doing it with someone else. Going up there alone seemed too much.
By 16, Iโd mastered the art of โlooking awayโ so I wouldnโt get called on. I knew exactly how to disappear in a crowd.
Now, you might be wondering: How did you not only gain confidence speaking up but actually come to love this work?
Fair question. Let me explain....

THIS WAS THE
TURNING POINT
During my studies, I found myself in a classroom full of introverts. Raising my hand was uncomfortable, and no one else seemed eager either.
Can you picture it? The teacher asks a question, and no-one moves. Man, that was awkward!!
But this environment did something surprising to me.
It actually lowered the pressure to be perfect.
Instead of feeling judged, there was an unspoken appreciation when someone finally spoke up.
Thatโs when everything changed for me.
I became the โhand-raiser,โ the โIโll do itโ person,
Soon known as โOh, ask Laurie, sheโd love to help!โ
Opportunities started coming my way.
By the end, I was even volunteering to deliver the graduation speech to an audience of 300!

I LEARNED 3 IMPORTANT LESSONS THAT STILL MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
1. When youโre willing to be vulnerable and take risks, people respect you more than judge you.
2. Worst-case scenarios usually only live in your mind; people genuinely want you to succeed.
3. By stepping-up, you stay top of mind, and amazing opportunities find you.

THE MOMENTUM
I dared to say yesโnot just in a classroom, but to life itself.
It all started as an innovation manager at STUDIO.WHY. I had the chance to help companies like Philips, Google, and the Dutch Ministry of Defence tackle complex challenges by training their teams to 'think like entrepreneurs.'
We made things fun. Using Lego Serious Play and gamifying those dull management days, I learned about Design Thinking.
What fascinated me most was the simple truth: the best communicators saw their ideas come to life, while the most brilliant ideas sat on the shelf because people couldn't grasp their value.
How could I help people with epic ideas, amazing stories, and genuine hearts get the results they deserve?
Just by communicating it better.
I started to learn everything about influence, storytelling, and human psychology
I worked as a high-ticket closer, dove into the science of brainwaves, and mastered retention strategies.
I knew I was onto something when STUDIO.WHY started to sell my new made-up speaking training as a new product and TEDx asked me to train their speakers.
So, I started thinking bigger and asking myself: could I build my own empire, empowering people who truly care to achieve epic results while living the life Iโve always dreamed of?
And thatโs exactly what happened. Now Iโm traveling the world, building an empire of positive change, and making money doing what I love.

THE RESULTS
The formula I created learning about all those different modalities just freaking works, and not just in 1 place or just for me.
At one point on my travel journey, I was living in a new place every month.
And every single time, Iโd land a speaking gig within a week, attracting clients along the way (even without knowing anyone there).
This approach didnโt just bring in clients but opened up incredible opportunities, like 7 months of free housingโincluding a full month in a Hilton. Once you understand these strategies, life will never be the same.
Iโve taught this to so many different types of people all over the world, and the results have been consistent.
It got:
๐ฆ Kristin a Shark Tank deal because she finally could share her idea with absolute clarity and confidence.
๐ด Thijs a viral TEDx Talk because he made his tech subject understandable for everyone
๐ธ Richie a $40K deal in his sales job after implementing the storytelling strategies.

THE VISION
This isnโt โjust about Speaking Skillsโ or โPublic Speaking.โ
Itโs about helping people with something real to say develop the right skills, so they can take the stage they deserveโwhatever that stage looks like.
For Duncan, itโs killing it on a TEDx stage.
For Noel, itโs speaking in person with small groups.
For 50+ year-old Isla, itโs not just about speaking for business, but for her life. Now sheโs going from the USA to Spain โbecause she dares to chase her dreams now.โ
Itโs about not being โmisunderstood.โ Youโre not weird. Youโre amazing, and itโs time the world sees that.
Itโs about embracing every story, even the tough, messy ones, and turning them into moments of impact.
Itโs a movement to bring heart-centered leaders forward. And true leaders are speakers.
And yes it is scary. Doubts and fears are there, youโre human. Itโs okay.
But those fears canโt hold you back anymore.
Itโs time to Stand Up, Speak Up, and Scale Up.
