SpeakEasy Intensive Agenda

You may notice that we have packed a lot of programming into only a few days, so be sure to take your time while reading this page. We designed this fast-paced agenda to condense our most powerful tools into a CEO-friendly timeframe.

Attendees need only show up, ready to share their ideas and legacy with a wider audience.

In addition to the 4 day experience, guests receive:

You’ll receive a Talk Canvas and Personal Workbook to help you develop future talks and presentations.
A high-quality video of your talk will be filmed and provided to you at the end of the retreat.
Each attendee also receives a follow up 1:1 Coaching Session in-person or on-video.

  • At SpeakEasy Intensive I liked the people the most. The frameworks and models were great above all, the curation of the group added the greatest value.
  • As a solopreneur, opportunities to work with others is very stimulating. Coaching from both Nick and Andrea brought a unique perspective to my talk. I really liked the post-retreat follow up coaching - reinforcement and additional feedback. Also the take away video was very valuable.
  • The single most valuable thing I learned at SpeakEasy Intensive was the need to balance emotion and reason in order to share a story in a meaningful way -- the performance element of the experience was also a big learning for me.
