The Elite Speaker Academy

"I have totally changed my teaching style after the Elite Speaker Academy. And not so surprising... I am getting WAY more interaction from the students. :)"

How many medical talks have you seen that were… well… less than sensational?

What if you could help your speakers love presenting just a little more, such that their audiences love listening and actually act on the ideas? What if YOU could be a more engaging speaker?

After sitting through hundreds of deadly talks, Jill knew there had to be a better way! She asked herself, “How can I fix medical talks?” and to uncover the answer, she explored the question “Why doesn’t typical Speaker training work?” She identified 5 key problems then weaved the solutions into a strategy that works like nothing seen before.

How can I help fix medical talks?

Why doesn’t faculty training work?

Problem	Solution
One-time teaching isn't enough	Spaced repetition is a powerful, evidence-based study technique that can enhance learning and long-term retention
No time for it	Short sounds bites are digestible
In person time is expensive	Mobile
Trial and feedback is necessary for speaker to improve	Video and coaching calls
Speakers need accountability to try new things	Peer webinar

People We Have Helped

"I'm so glad I participated in this awesome speaker training program with Jill. I learned a great deal to improve my skills from slide preparation to tips for engaging both small and large audiences. I have already been able to incorporate my new skills in many presentations with great feedback so far."

"The Elite Speaker Academy changed my whole approach to presentations and slide decks. The best part is that I now have ‘ an approach’. I've always enjoyed speaking but not the preparation. After this course I was excited about my deck and even more excited to share with my audience."

"The Elite Speaker Academy far exceeded my expectations! It was very practical but fun and taught me to think about my presentations in a different, more engaging way. I would absolutely recommend this!"

"The session [The Elite Speaker Academy] was more like an auditory spa where you walk away with solid information sans bombardment. It would be great if we have a session like this for all our fellows and MDs who frequent in public speaking. Imagine how this would change the CHE world!"

"I love to teach and feel that I am reasonable at getting information across to people. What was amazing and scary at the same time was you changed my idea of teaching into something way more dynamic. I could be better and I have some ideas of how I might do that. All passion aside these tools can make me better, so thank you."

"I have totally changed my teaching style after this program. And not so surprising... I am getting WAY more interaction from the students. :)"

"As an old guy, who’s done lots of speaking, I was skeptical you could teach me anything new. But I’m so glad I came!....I learned so much….. It was amazing to watch you model what to do. I’ve been to many faculty development TTT before but this one actually showed me exactly how to have more impact in a completely convincing fashion. Perhaps the old dog did learn a new trick or two. Thanks so much!"
