Your First Step | Theatre of Public Speaking

Your First Step to
Public Speaking Confidence

You have more
to say than you
let yourself say.

This course is for those who go quiet when they want to speak up. Who know what they think — but freeze when all eyes are on them. That feeling is not a flaw. And it is absolutely something you can change.

No experience required. No performance required. Just a willingness to begin.

Does any of this sound familiar

You know exactly what
you want to say.
Until it's time to say it.

You're not shy. You're not unprepared. You're not less capable than the people who seem at ease when they speak. You just haven't been given the tools that make speaking feel manageable. Most people haven't.

😶
Your mind goes blank mid-sentence
You had the thought. Then the eyes landed on you and it disappeared.
💗
Your heart races before you even start
The dread begins hours before. Sometimes the night before.
🔇
You stay quiet instead of speaking up
You have something to add. You wait for the right moment. It passes.
🔄
You replay it afterward
"I rambled." "I said um too much." "I should have just stayed quiet."

The thing no one tells you

"This is not a personality trait.
It is a skill gap
and skills can be learned."

The anxiety, the freeze, the racing heart — those are your nervous system doing exactly what it was designed to do under perceived threat. The problem is that no one taught you how to work with your nervous system when you speak. That's what this course does.

How this works

The MPH Method.
Built for how anxiety
actually works.

Most speaking advice tells you to "just practice more." That doesn't work, and you know it.
The MPH Method addresses the physical and mental sides of anxiety at the same time — because that's the only approach that actually holds up under pressure.

M

Mindset

Shifting beliefs, anchoring confidence to reality, and building a strategy from what has already worked.

P

Physicality

Identifying where nervous energy lives in your body and finding the specific exercise that moves it through and out.

H

Habit

Doing the practices every single time so the body and mind stop registering it as a threat. Calm body, focused mind.

What's inside

Four focused modules.
Real tools you'll
use right away.

Every lesson is 10 to 20 minutes. Work through this in a weekend, or one module at a time. 90-day access means you can revisit whatever you need, whenever you need it.

Highly, highly, highly recommend!
"Misty helped me show up dynamically and authentically, both in person and online. Along with guidance for the strategic launch of a live program, she coached me on what I do well as a trainer and where I can improve. She’s brilliant, strategic, and—dare I say—a creative genius. If Misty is involved, you know it’s going to be great! Highly, highly, highly recommend!"

"It's not just what you say. It's how you show up to say it — and every person deserves to know how."

I've coached CEOs, led global brand teams, directed actors on stage, and strategized multi-million dollar launches. But the work I care most about is helping people find their voice and trust it.

I built the Theatre of Public Speaking because I watched too many brilliant people go quiet in rooms where their voice was needed most. These skills are real. They're learnable. And they change everything.

Questions

A few things worth
answering first.

Do I need any prior experience with public speaking? +
None at all. This course is designed for women starting from scratch or who have tried other programs without lasting results. No prior experience, no judgment.
I've tried other things and they didn't work. Why would this be different? +
Most approaches skip the root cause. They tell you to practice more without explaining why your body reacts the way it does. The MPH Method addresses the physical and mental sides of anxiety at the same time. That's the difference.
How much time does this require? +
Each lesson is 10 to 20 minutes. You can move through the full course in a weekend, or one module at a time. 90-day access means you can revisit anything you need, whenever you need it.
Is this only for professional situations? +
Not at all. Women in this course use the tools for team meetings, job interviews, family gatherings, wedding toasts, PTA meetings, and feeling more comfortable speaking up in any situation where they've gone quiet before.
What comes after this course? +
When you're ready, Intermediate and Advanced programs are available that build on what you learn here. But there's no pressure to think that far ahead. Start here first.
