And then...All of a sudden you become an Olympic Champion and they want to hear stories about how you achieved your success. A few years after I became Olympic Champion, I came across The Speech Republic and they taught me that presenting is not about what you say, but about how your audience receive and feel your message. I spent hours and hours with The Speech Republic making my story even better for my audience. And I continue to benefit from it to this day.

"What sets The Speech Republic apart is that it bypasses the usual frustrations of media training and focuses directly on your story. The result is an audience that comprehends you more deeply and a speaker (myself) who delivers the story with confidence, rather than simply reciting it."

"Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony."
