The Training
Two Sessions.
What We'll Cover.
Live on Zoom — Monday, July 20 and Monday, July 27 at 9:00 AM PT / 11:00 AM Central. Two 90-minute sessions, completely free. Here's what we'll cover together:
01
Speaking 101
July 20 — the anatomy of a really great talk, the types of speaking events, how to prepare like a pro, and the business of speaking (yes, including leads).
02
The Art of Storytelling
July 27 — how to craft stories that make your message stick, when and how to use slides (and how not to), and the art of storytelling at a high level.
03
Who It's For
Whether you're building toward your first stage or you've been speaking for years — this is the no-fluff, no-theory foundation most speakers never get taught.
04
Want to Go Deeper?
After the class, you can work 1:1 with Mari to tune up and polish your own talk — structure, story, slides, and delivery. Details at the end of Session 2.
One More Thing
Don't Settle for "That Was Nice."

Raving Fans Aren't Luck
They're craft — and craft can be taught. Join Mari live and learn it firsthand.
Most talks are forgettable — not because the speaker lacks experience, but because nobody taught them the craft. In three hours, Mari hands you the foundation she built over 20+ years and 200+ talks: what makes a talk land, how the business of speaking really works, and how to tell stories people repeat for years. Show up live, bring your questions, and leave with a higher standard for every stage you step on.
