The 8-week coaching accelerator
That will empower you to

Embody your authentic leadership presence and communicate with ease under pressure.

Does this sound like you?

It's frustrating when I know that I know what I'm talking about, but I second-guess my ability to present my points confidently.

When I'm put on the spot, I become preoccupied with how others are perceiving me, that I no longer feel present and it's hard to think clearly.

I don't like to add fluff to make myself appear more knowledgeable, but if I don't have all the information, it makes me nervous to speak up.

I have straight up blacked out when presenting or speaking off the cuff in a meeting.

My inner critic can be SO loud that it's challenging to get out of my head and trust that I can articulate my thoughts effectively.

Yup, That's me...

Our Spring 2025 cohorts kick off April 22nd through June 11th

Meet Julia

“I got a promotion! … this training takes you to the next level. It goes beyond your professional career. I’ve used these skills in tough conversations with family members and friends!

It’s a 2-month commitment, 90-minutes a week, minimal homework, and the amount that you gain each week to improve your speaking abilities, your confidence and your professionalism is SO worth it!

Meet Hannah

When I had the intro call with Brenne to discuss what the program was, we homed in on a situation where I needed to push back on someone and disagree. And I walked out of [that 15-minute intro call] feeling so much more empowered - like I knew how to handle it going forward.

 

"My PUP experience was life-changing. Each module forced me to look at myself in a very granular and honest way, without judgment. PUP gave me a framework for how to truly be present in my interactions in order to give the best of what I have, no matter the circumstance."

Norma Austin

– Norma A.

"Doing Presence Under Pressure (twice!) has been a transformative experience. Brenne is able to bring out the best version of me through her insightful coaching and masterful skill-modeling. I can truly see and feel the difference in my confidence and demeanor -- I'm a much more effective communicator than I was before. I would recommend this program to literally anyone."

You could trust yourself to articulate your ideas more clearly and confidently when it mattered most?

Whether you're speaking up in a meeting, having a check-in with your boss, or presenting to an audience...

haute-stock-photography-subscription-the-agency-collection-final-45 1
haute-stock-photography-subscription-the-agency-collection-final-17 2

You had a clear roadmap for how to work on the vague, but vital pieces of your professional development (like "elevating your leadership presence" or "being more succinct" or "speaking with more confidence") 

So you could let go of the endless cycle of hustling for approval and instead embody the fullness of who you are as a leader and a perfectly, imperfect human being.

You joined a small (but mighty!) community of other big-hearted ambitious women who not only want to build these skills alongside you, but are determined to help you step into the next level version of you!

A community that holds space for you to gain self-awareness, experiment, and expand into the powerful communicator you were born to be.

Hey!

I'm Brenne,

(like Brenda without the "da")

I'm a big-hearted working mom, communication coach, and "secret weapon" to ambitious, down-to-earth women.

I've helped hundreds learn how to build the skills necessary to show up (and speak up!) with more authentic confidence by way of this Presence Under Pressure roadmap and extraordinary community.

Because here's the truth: Those uneasy feelings that come with putting yourself out there and wanting to make a good impression have nothing to do with how much you've prepared, how much you know, or how capable you are.

Through practical skill-building and a holistic approach to coaching, I'm here to help you find that sweet spot between conveying your credibility and staying true to yourself in all of your interactions.

This program exceeded my expectations… After taking it, I’m much more impactful. I’ve learned what works for me communication-wise and how I can integrate that into my professional life, and not get bogged down by the fears and anxieties that ran rampant in my head.”

Meet Anita

This [program] taught me how to brush away the things that stand in the way or “muddy up” my authentic communication style… I learned how to speak with intentionality and manage chatter in my head. These are things I’ve never learned in other communication classes and they go a long way in letting your authentic communication style be more powerful and shine through.

 

“I will never forget how Brenne showed me that I can still be true to myself and be a great leader, I don't need to pretend to be someone I am not to be considered professional. It may seem obvious but pointing out how some of my personality traits can make a good leader has given me confidence to not hide them away. Thank you Brenne!”

– Fiona G.

Over the last eight weeks, I’ve really noticed a difference in how I handle high-stakes conversations. One of the biggest shifts is feeling a lot more grounded and clear when presenting complex topics to senior leadership. It’s been a confidence boost to articulate key points without getting flustered.”

Week Two

Week Three

Week Four

Week Five

Week Six

Week Seven

Week Eight

Spend the next 8 weeks stepping into a whole new realm of confidence with tools and tactics aimed to make you show up as the expert you are.

Meet Valerie

I was able to identify my struggles AND get tools to move through it. It’s SHOCKING that I am here today compared to where I felt I was before we started. You have to search inside yourself to see “what are you doing now on your own?” versus “what if you just unlocked a couple tools that could help you for a lifetime?

– VALERIE M.

"(The time commitment) was extremely manageable... I was always looking forward to our classes…  It was probably some of the best 1 ½ hours of my week. The pre-work was really great because it made me reflect and think about what I had taken from the class the week before and what I had to look forward to the next week… it never felt like a daunting task.”

- Taylor K.

“This (course) really helped me get out of my own head in certain situations - instead of feeling nervous about a particular presentation it enabled me to think more about my desired intention and the value I want to come through.”

– Stacey D.

“It feels like a safe space where you can try out different skills and figure out what's right for you.  And everyone in the group was so supportive…and because it felt so safe, I kept wanting to open myself up to that vulnerability… and I now have the right tools to communicate authentically.”

– Sarah M.

Can I tell you a secret?

If you want to convey your expertise, while letting your natural personality shine, all you have to do is:

  • Understand your own physiological response to pressure-and learn practical tools for dialing down nerves

  • Cultivate an empowered mindset-and let go of the impulse to prove yourself

  • Embody the qualities you want others to see in you-and ditch the habits that aren't serving you!

  • Be intentional about the energy you bring into a room

  • Tailor your message so it's clear, succinct, and valuable to your audience

  • Tailor your message so it's clear, succinct, and valuable to your audience

If anything, these skills have become even more important as we've shifted to remote work.

Let's be real: it was important to know how to communicate clearly and present confidently over Zoom before the pandemic. But now, it's an essential skillset.

haute-stock-photography-subscription-coaching-call-collection-final-10 2

In order to keep business alive, nurture your relationships, and serve your network, you've gotta be able to translate strong in-person communication skills to the screen.

The beauty of joining us weekly over Zoom for this 8-week intensive is that you'll get to flex your virtual communication muscles in real-time.

Not only will you learn a ton of practical skills you can apply to your in-person presentations and interactions, but you'll also get to work on refining your virtual communication style.

From other women just like you

I can't say enough good things about this course and especially about Brenne!

Brenne will teach you how small tweaks in your communication style can make worlds of difference in improving your credibility and how you come across. The groups are small and intimate, allowing for plenty of individual attention from Brenne and the opportunity to learn from your fellow group members. This course is for everyone, regardless of whether you typically communicate one-to-one or one-to-many.

Run, don't walk to sign up for this course!

- Carolyn S.

"Brenne is a life-changer. These are skills that everyone needs in order to navigate today's challenging work environments. Also, the fact that I got to do something for myself and make the time... it was a really worthwhile thing to do and I can't wait to continue learning with this community!"

- Ileana M.

I am so appreciative of the growth I've experienced. I'm not afraid and I have more empathy for others as well.

There has been so much less second-guessing and I've felt so much more confident in my communication. I've had the guts to speak up in larger meetings and have received kudos for doing so.

I've had to insert myself as a coach and take the lead of a group of tenured people and organize my thoughts into an action plan to seek buy-in. It's been amazing and I am sleeping so much better!”

- VALERIE M.

Turn everyday pressure into
grounded presence + personal power

  • Set yourself up in the frame - so you can have the closest thing to an in-person conversation

  • Organize your talking points so they're clearer and more concise - given our shrunken attention spans

  • Engage a virtual audience - without becoming a voice they want to mute

  • And so much more

Spots are extremely limited.

Yep, even if you're not sure what conversations or presentations are on the horizon, or which content you'll need to prepare.

Uh huh - doesn't matter what you do or how long you've been doing it. It'll be a wonderful mix of professionals from all different industries and levels of experience. These skills apply to every kind of person in every kind of role and part of the magic will be learning from each other!

Ohhh yeah, especially if speaking publicly makes you break out in a cold sweat. Nothing makes me happier than watching people go from "hating public speaking" to genuinely enjoying the experience.

I found it to be a very safe space to give and receive feedback in a meaningful way.

 

"I cannot recommend this experience and investment in yourself enough. Presence Under Pressure has given me the training and space to show up in conversations and meetings and in high-stakes situations in a more authentic and confident way."

"Working with Brenne as your coach cannot be described accurately - it's like talking to your best friend and cheerleader, who wants the utmost best for you and actively provides feedback and challenges you towards that goal."

Imagine if...

  • You didn't have to guess whether or not you'd be able to communicate yourself clearly and confidently.

  • You didn't have to force or fake your way through intimidating interactions, but instead you knew the exact steps to take to get your mind, body and voice to cooperate with you instead of against you.

  • You knew what you needed to say and how to say it in a clear and impactful way - no matter who you're speaking to or how complex your content is.

  • You were more in the driver's seat of how you came across and could persuade and inspire people the way you know you're capable of persuading and inspiring people.

I'll be honest...

This Presence Under Pressure program will give you a lot to think about and practice. Like any intensive, it'll be challenging at times. You'll have to put in the practice to make these skills stick.

But I promise that by the time you've completed this program, you'll know exactly what you need to continue working on and HOW to keep working on it.

And because you'll have a clear vision for how you want to show up and share your ideas in the world, I'll be here to support you in actualizing that vision. You'll have me and the SelfSpoken team checking in on you and cheering you on every step of the way.

I feel like I got the individualized care I needed while in a group setting. It's the best of both worlds.

 

Meet Maria

I felt that it was life-changing. I went from feeling drained and insecure to knowing who I am and that I can become better every day. The return on investment is infinite!

 

"I have seen HUGE improvements in the way I am perceived and my ability to quickly adapt roles from meeting to meeting...

I strongly believe that the large project I am currently leading has gained so much support and momentum by way of being able to practice these skills real time. The biggest shift for me was "sitting in my power"."

- Sara J.

“I definitely see the growth I've experienced in the past 8 weeks, part of it being from shift in perspective, being aware of things I wasn't aware of before, and generally trusting myself a lot more, which the encouragement I got from Brenne and the women in our group helped with a lot.”

– Riham S.

“I can already see a visible difference in how I communicate during meetings with executives/leaders. I have definitely been less in my head and more engaged/actively listening. Focusing on the different techniques (I learned) instead of the actual content that I am presenting has improved my speaking in ways that I would have never realized prior!”
