Join the Radiant Rebellion & Reclaim Aging

Most speaking training hides your authentic voice under the rigidity of technique, polish, and performance. You learn to sound professional, credible, and completely forgettable.

Gail Larsen has spent over four decades proving there’s another way. The award-winning author and teacher behind what Fast Company calls “transforming your relationship to your voice via the deepest stirrings of your soul” doesn’t hand you formulas, she strips them away. Her clients include bestselling authors and four members of Oprah’s Super Soul 100, all of whom discovered their most powerful speaking comes from presence, not performance.

In this live chat with MEA CEO Derek Gehl, Gail will reveal:

• The “crusty layers” of training that make speakers sound robotic (and how to shed them)
• What changes when you stop performing and start speaking from deep authenticity
• How to discover the story your life has uniquely prepared you to tell
• Why presence and emotional connection are your greatest superpowers

Derek calls it “the speaking training you didn’t know you needed” – come find out why.
