Do you know exactly what you want to say, right up until everyone's looking at you? To help with that, I'm launching a 3-month VIP Mastermind for 3 engineers, project managers and leaders who want to speak with calm authority at work, using the A.L.I.C.E. Method. 9 out of 10 people who do a trial session with me choose to keep going. Client wins include increasing quarterly revenue from $45K to $75K, a Director of AI securing his dream VP role, and greater confidence in corporate presentations and communication. And the list continues. Here's what you get: The full A.L.I.C.E. roadmap. All five pillars, from Active Listening to Embodied Authority, in the order that actually works. Live role-plays in real situations. Sales conversations, tough meetings, presenting upward, and that horrible "so what do you think?" moment. You practise them here so they stop scaring you there. A private room where you can finally admit what you can't admit at work. No performance. No judgment. Just people who understand. 1 call a week to role-play, practise your skills and achieve the results you want + a midweek check-in. I'm only taking 3 people, because role-play only works when I can give every person real attention. 3 spots are still available. It's application only. This is for people who are ready to practise, not just watch. If you're looking for a shortcut, it won't be the right fit. Doors close on Nov 10. That's 7 days. There are 90 of us in this community, and I'm only taking 3. Apply here: https://cal.com/alice-hlidkova-1ktc0i/30min Talk soon!

Most people try to think their way out of it. Script it. Rehearse it. Memorise every point the night before. The problem is that when your body goes into protect mode, the thinking part is the first thing to go quiet. That's why you can rehearse for hours and still go blank the second the room goes silent. The better way is to regulate first, then speak. Settle your body in the moment. Get clear on the one outcome you want. Use a simple structure for your point and your ask, so there's nothing to remember. It works because you're not relying on memory under stress anymore. You're relying on a system you've already practised, over and over, somewhere safe. That's exactly how I teach it, and it's why 9 out of 10 people who try a session with me stay. Stop rehearsing harder. Start regulating first.
