For executives done with the safe version
Rehearse the Real Version
The order of the work that gets the real you from the Green Room to the mic.
Free live session · Thursday, November 12 · 12 pm PT / 3 pm ET · Zoom
Save My SeatYou command the boardroom. You own the dinner conversation. In every room without a microphone, you say the sharp, true thing without thinking twice.
Then the mic goes on, and you deliver the safe version.
You've done the coaching. The prep. The run-throughs the night before. You got the applause, and you drove home knowing the real you never left the Green Room.
That's not a confidence problem. It's an order-of-operations problem. Most speaking coaches start at Rehearse, which means they polish whatever you bring them. If your story was never excavated, you've been rehearsing the safe version. Beautifully.
In 45 Minutes, You'll Walk Away With:
- Why most speaking coaches start at Rehearse, and what that skips
- The five steps of narrative architecture, in the order they hold
- Where your work starts, so you stop polishing the version your Comms team approved
- Why the woman who commands every room goes quiet at the mic, and why that's structural
- 15 minutes of live Q&A where I push back instead of cheerleading

This is for you if:
- You've spent 20+ years building something real, and you keep getting the panel instead of the keynote
- You've already done the speaker coaching or media training, and it didn't stick
- You want the real you, not the safe you, on every stage that matters
This isn't for you if:
- You're looking for slide tips, vocal warm-ups, or a pep talk
- You want someone to tell you you're already great
Your Host
I'm Windy Borman, a documentary filmmaker and Narrative Architect with 25+ years on both sides of the camera and stage, including documentaries that premiered at Sundance and on HBO. I've spent my career deciding what survives the Cutting Room Floor, and now I build the narrative architecture that gets the real you from the Green Room to the mic.
One hour. Forty-five minutes of teaching, fifteen of Q&A. Bring the story you keep editing out.
