Last week, something special happened.
I hosted the very first Build The Talk Retreat.
For two days, incredible women stepped away from the constant demands of life and business and gave themselves permission to think deeply about one question:
What is the message I'm meant to share?
Together, we built keynote talks from the ground up. We answered the essential questions:
Who is my talk for?
What problem does it solve?
We discovered stories that had been there all along simply by saying them out loud, stumbling through them, and paying attention to what resonated.
But the biggest transformation didn't happen because of the framework.
It happened because a room full of incredible women were willing to sit together, ask hard questions, give honest feedback, and believe in one another before they fully believed in themselves.
That's something a workbook alone can't do.
And it's certainly not something that happens when you're sitting alone in front of your computer wondering if your ideas are "interesting enough."
That's exactly why I designed Build The Talk as a live, collaborative experience.
We found clarity by celebrating every breakthrough, supporting one another through moments of uncertainty, and giving ourselves permission to stumble through ideas in a beautifully messy way. That process gave each woman the courage to own her ideas, trust her voice, and say them out loud.
Every attendee left with a completely different talk than the one she thought she was going to create.
That's the magic of collaboration.
It was transformational, and exactly why I created Build The Talk.
This October, we're doing it again in the Catskill Mountains of New York.
If you've been carrying stories, ideas, and expertise around in your head, knowing you have something important to say but wondering how it all fits together...
I'd love to help you build the talk.
