COMING IN 2025

 
A vibrant gathering place for sudden leaders to exercise and develop their speakership to aid them in their quests to evolve their world.



What is this place?

A workout space.

A clubhouse.

A tool room.

A huddle.

An oasis. 



Who is this for?

Purpose-driven, growth-minded, generous-hearted leaders — with or without a title. 

We see you. You have knowledge. You have experience. You have speaking skills in some arenas, or you wouldn’t be where you are. You’re building, working, creating.

But you’re now in a new game. The stakes are higher, and you feel the pressure moments more acutely. The communication skills that got you here aren’t the ones to match the challenges in front of you.

It’s time for you to use your voice in new spaces, in fresh ways, and with people you’ve never faced before. Your words are your most impactful tool. 

Getting there is up to you: how you show up, what you say, and how you connect. 

You’re looking for new frameworks, skills, and even mindsets. Maybe looking for others you can learn with who are facing their own growth edge, too.  

It’s time to invest in your leadership communication growth to gain the confidence and influence you know are possible.


What are we doing here?

Stretching

Gathering 

Learning

Connecting

Celebrating

Through weekly live group learning and practice sessions, group discussions, and a reference library of digital materials, we’ll follow a year-long curriculum based on the book “Speakership is Leadership: A Guide for Sudden Leaders Who Need to Lead with Their Words. Yesterday.”


Onboarding:

To begin, you will complete our Speakership Assessment so you understand your own strengths and growth edges. 

Next is an hour-long coaching session with Margaret so we know you individually and you clarify your own speakership goals.

Finally, you will receive a personalized onboarding session with our community manager, Allison, who will show you around The Speakership Collective and match the offerings to your needs. 


Ongoing:

Live Events:

  • Weekly gathering

    • Content Focus on first and third weeks: learning segment from "Speakership is Leadership," discussion, and spotlight time on individuals for practice, solution-finding, and personal development.

    • Mindset Focus on the second and fourth weeks: Mind Health Practice, discussion of executive presence, and tools to navigate the stories in our head.

Community Engagement

  • Ongoing conversation in the feed

  • Homework discussion

  • New idea article exploration




As James Clear said in Atomic Habits, 
“You do not rise to the level of your goals. 
You fall to the levels of your systems.”

What systems do you have in place 
to grow your speaking and leading?



What we expect of you… 

Engagement. 
There is no magic sentence or blue pill. We expect you to dedicate your resources to your speakership growth: time, attention, and energy to engage.

Humility. 
We show up to learn from others and respect everyone’s speakership moments. 

Generosity. 
We say, "I want to make my community better," as well as "I’m grateful to be here and benefit by others showing up."

Curiosity. 
We approach each startling idea or setback with an attitude of "Interesting! What is there for me to learn here?”


You can count on us to ...

Facilitate group learning filled with self-reflection, laughter, value, engagement, and insight.

Invite you in and show you around to find the best resources for you.

Accept you no matter your stage of speakership or leadership.

Curate and build a community of purpose-driven, growth-minded leaders.

Strive for a celebratory and generous culture welcoming all.



 

A Big Thanks...

...to YOU!

You have a direction. An idea. A vision of where you want to go and what you want to build. 

Now, when you look around, you see that people are watching you. Even waiting for you to step up. 

A community that needs you. 

A vision you want to create. 

 


How do you step in to lead? 
To create the culture, the vision, 
the project you want to see? 
You speak.

 

You're invited...
