Get Up and Speak Course Curriculum
What attendees learn
Understanding Speech Anxiety
Most people know they are afraid of public speaking. Fewer understand why. This lesson breaks down the science behind glossophobia, explains how early life experiences shape your current anxiety, and gives you a framework for understanding your personal relationship with fear.
Anxiety Symptoms
Your body sends clear signals when anxiety hits. This lesson walks you through the most common physical and psychological symptoms of speech anxiety so you can recognize them in the moment, name them, and stop letting them catch you off guard.
Anxiety Triggers
Fear rarely comes from nowhere. This lesson identifies the specific situations that trigger public speaking anxiety — unfamiliar environments, fear of judgment, inadequate preparation, and misread audience cues — and gives you a practical mindset shift for each one.
Reducing Anxiety
From breathwork and visualization to physical preparation and audience anchoring, this lesson gives you a toolkit of proven strategies used by speakers at every level. Includes the RESET Method — a five-step in-the-moment technique you can use anywhere, anytime.
The Elevator Speech
Your 30-second personal commercial is one of the most powerful presentations you will ever deliver. This lesson teaches you how to craft a clear, compelling elevator speech that captures attention, communicates your value, and leaves people wanting to know more.
Finding Your Topic
Great presentations start with the right subject. This lesson shows you how to identify strong topics rooted in personal experience or research, and how to narrow your focus so your message lands with precision rather than getting lost in breadth.
Knowing Your Audience
A presentation built for everyone connects with no one. This lesson teaches you how to research your audience before you walk into a room — understanding their age, background, expectations, and needs — so you can tailor your message to the people who are actually in front of you.
Knowing Your Event
The time of day, room layout, event theme, and technical setup all affect how your presentation lands. This lesson gives you a pre-event research checklist so you arrive prepared for the environment, not surprised by it.
The Three-Part Framework
Every effective presentation follows the same architecture: an introduction, an body, and a closing. This lesson explains why that structure works, how each section serves a different purpose, and how to use the framework to build any talk on any topic.
Body Language
Research shows how an audience perceives a speaker comes from facial expressions and physical presence — before a single word is processed. This lesson breaks down the five elements of effective body language and shows you how to use each one deliberately to reinforce your message.
Rehearsal Strategy
Knowing your material and knowing it well enough to deliver it with ease are two very different things. This lesson explains how to rehearse with speaker notes, build physical and vocal habits through repetition, use a timer to manage pacing, and reach the point where your presentation feels like a conversation rather than a performance.
Physical Preparation
A presentation is a physical event, and your body needs to be ready for it. This lesson covers hydration, nutrition, exercise, and rest in the hours and days before you speak — practical guidance that directly affects your vocal quality, mental clarity, and ability to project confidence under pressure.
Exercises And much more!

Raving Reviews
Here's what other students are raving about the course
"Just what I needed."
"I have avoided public speaking my entire career. One day with Get Up and Speak changed that. I walked in nervous and walked out with a full presentation, real feedback, and — for the first time — actual confidence. I spoke at a team meeting the following week and people noticed the difference immediately."
— Marcus T., Sales Manager
"I finally feel ready."
"I have always had things to say but never known how to say them in front of people. This workshop gave me a structure I can use every single time, and Joe's coaching is specific, honest, and genuinely encouraging. Best investment I have made in myself in years."
— Danielle R., Entrepreneur
"Worth every penny and more."
"I came in thinking I just needed a few tips. I left with a completely rebuilt approach to how I show up and communicate. The small group size meant I got personal attention the whole day. I have already recommended it to three people on my team."
— Chris M., Director of Operations
