Communicate more clearly and confidently under pressure.
Does this sound like you?
The most frustrating part is when, deep down, I know that I know my sh*t but my words aren't landing the way I'd like them to.
I don't feel so nervous when I'm presenting pre-prepared materials, but when I'm on the spot, I tense up.
I often know what I want to say, but I have a hard time saying it clearly and concisely.
I have definitely had experiences where I straight up blacked out when presenting or speaking up in a meeting.
My inner voice often gets the best of me.
Yup, That's me...
Well, you're not alone.
I'm Brenne.
(like Brenda without the "da") and I help big-hearted go-getters like you prepare for all kinds of conversations and presentations. My goal, and greatest passion, is to provide you with the exact tools and coaching you need to dial down those speaking nerves, land clear impactful messages, and get others to see you the way you deserve to be seen!
Question for ya:
What if 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...
Well... You can!
I'm telling you. I've helped hundreds learn how.
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.
"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."
- Audrey B.
And guess what?
This 8-week intensive is about to provide you with the exact tools and coaching you need to feel more centered and in control, express yourself more clearly, and blow people away with how knowledgable and authentic you are.
"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.

Course Overview
Here's what we'll cover:
Week
The exact steps to center yourself under pressure
So that when those nerves inevitably flood your system, you know exactly what to do to get your mind, body, and voice to cooperate with you instead of against you!
Week
The science-backed formula for exuding confidence
Hint: it's all about how you carry yourself, the signals you send through your physical mannerisms, eye contact, and vocal inflections. Warning: this module will make you a tad uncomfortable because it'll force you to become aware of your own unique "ticks" and habits. But as every student of mine will tell you, it's one of the most illuminating ways to enhance your presence in a room. Once you're intimately aware of your own body language, you get to decide which habits to ditch and which to leverage, so that you're ultimately more in charge of the impression you're making on others.
This may have been my favorite - Brenne's feedback was so encouraging, and this is when I felt my confidence really start to grow.
- Renée P.
Week
Your secret sauce (one-on-one coaching week)
We'll break down some of the specific dynamics that trip you up in your work life. Whether it's interacting with your boss or facilitating a meeting. We'll make sure you know how to approach them with a more empowered mindset and a purposeful, yet adaptable game plan for articulating yourself clearly.
Week
How to "just be yourself"
Because it's much easier said than done. And in new or intimidating situations, we often adapt who we are to what we think others want or expect us to be. It's a survival instinct meant to ensure our place in a tribe. Together, we'll unpack this conundrum and practice concrete strategies for staying true to yourself (and your authentic personality) when the pressure's on.
Week
A little-known secret I call "reverse-engineering"
Most people think about their upcoming talk or presentation in terms of what they want to say. In this session, you'll learn how to start your preparation with what your audience needs to hear. Get ready to organize your thoughts more intentionally, prepare more efficiently, and ultimately speak in a way that's easy to follow and hard to forget.
One on ones with Brenne cannot be described appropriately - it's like talking to your best friend and cheerleader, who wants the utmost best for you and actively provides feedback and challenges towards that goal.
- Vanessa A.
Week
How to handle the heat (one-on-one coaching week)
We'll dive deeper into some of the specific interactions that trip you up, and if applicable, we'll work on a specific presentation, interview, or tricky conversation. We'll role-play to make sure you have a clear gameplan going in AND the confidence to adapt in the moment.
Week
The framework for organizing a compelling message on the fly
So you hook 'em from the beginning and have them thinking to themselves "woah, who's that" by the time you're done. I'll have you integrate all the skills we've covered so far by giving you a prompt and challenging you to organize and deliver a mini presentation on the fly.
Week
Putting it all together
It's my job to give you the tools, but it's your job to go kick ass. Which means you need to know how to keep practicing these skills on your own so they stick for the long-haul. Together, we'll come up with an action plan for turning these tools into habits.
If anything, these skills have become even more important during this remote work time.
Let's be real: it was important to know how to communicate clearly and present confidently over zoom before this global pandemic. But now, it's an essential skillset.
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.
"This was the highlight of being in quarantine.
I don't think I've ever gotten so much out of a course or training ever."
- AUDREY B.
Think: How to...
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
Present with slides and actually engage your virtual audience - without becoming a voice they want to mute
And so much more
Don't just take my word for it...
Laura D. who said:
"Everyone in my group made spectacular gains following Brenne's expert guidance. Whether it be structuring a presentation, appearing more engaging, holding your body more confidently, having difficult or uncomfortable conversations… the PUP program will provide you with a safe space to build critical skills in a group setting."
Don't just take my word for it...
Audrey B. who said:
"My college gal group and I share a RBT (rose, bud, thorn) each week on our Zoom catch-ups and I found that this course was often my bud (a.k.a. the thing I was most looking forward to). I appreciated the consistency and that it felt like such a joy and value-add rather than a chore."
Don't just take my word for it...
Ileana M. who said:
"This practice of mindful and effective communication has radically enhanced my life for the better and this is not a fad, but a way of life. Brenne's coaching goes beyond communication and delves deep into professional coaching and self awareness."
Don't just take my word for it...
Carolyn S. who said:
"I loved the virtual nature of the course. Even before COVID my team was bi-coastal and worked remotely on Zoom, so our course really simulated what my everyday work is like! Also, it eliminated travel time between a physical class and home/work, so it made it super easy to just set aside an hour for the class and then go back to whatever you were doing."
6 group sessions + 2 one-on-ones with me =
Everything you need to make 2020 the year you learn to turn panic into power and every day pressures into presence!
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'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.
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.
