“Run – don’t walk, don’t wait! If you can’t afford it yet, start saving your pennies because this is transformational branding, speaking, soul work, get out your mojo work! You are going to get everything that you need and it comes together in a magical, intensely multi-layered package. Gail Larsen and Transformational Speaking have my highest recommendation.”

“I was transformed from Mrs-Perfectly-Scripted-Then-Got-To-Remember-Every-Word-Speaker-Lady to No-Script-On-Fire-Very-Happy-Speaker-Lady. I would have said it was impossible but then … that’s exactly why I had to do it and why it was so epic. If you have ever thought of getting speaking coaching, even if you are already a professional speaker, I cannot recommend it enough.”
BETH KEMPTON
Author: We are in this Together

“Gail Larsen–the Godmother of real speaking–[talking] with my Clear Coaches on how to be an effective speaker… is like having Oprah on the line to teach us about broadcasting. Or Jamie Oliver jamming about food. Or Ian Somerhalder on being a hot vampire. #lovemygig”

“one of the most transformational experiences of my life. Gail is a total magic worker. By the end of my time there I left with a deep trust in myself, a clearer understanding of what my soul’s voice brings, a conviction in my message, more courage in my heart and five new BFF’s (if you spend 4 days hearing someone else’s life story you can’t help but fall in love with them).”

“Transformational Speaking helped me to understand the value of my story and the need for it and how to develop a talk that will reach people and create action. It will move your speaking up a level and give you tools, success, support, and an understanding of how to be effective.”

“Real Speaking is perfect for anyone who cares deeply about their mission and wants to express it with depth, clarity and passion. Gail is incisive, fierce and compassionate and does a brilliant job of drawing out the best in each person.”

“Gail knows what she’s doing. I’ve been to a dozen speaking improvement seminars and Gail’s is the best of them all, by far. I observed her coach someone telling a story about his early teaching experience. In twenty minutes, his story improved from being painful and boring to become one of the most engaging stories about teaching I’ve heard. I believe my own public speaking improved dramatically as a result of the seminar, and I’ve been speaking for more than 40 years. Highly recommended!”

“After the writing comes the reality check. Can my book find an audience? Had it not been for Gail Larsen inspiring me to garner my courage and move forward, my book would still be a dream. Real Speaking was my ‘coming out’ party!”

Winner of the Nautilus Best Book of the Year for Body, Mind, Spirit

“I thought I had a good handle on public speaking. Little did I know I was overlooking a major component of my speaking voice: the heart. With Gail’s help, I learned how to balance heart and head and combine them in a single voice that is more powerfulthan the sum of its parts.”

“As a professional speaker for 30 years, I heartily recommend Gail’s training. It is less a technique program than a retreat where you touch your best self . . . a time of coming home to your deepest heart.”
