STOP MASKING YOUR PUBLIC SPEAKING FEAR
AND START OBLITARATING IT
Most public speaking programs only address the symptoms. It’s time to conquer your fears at their core so you can stop hiding in the shadows and boldly advance your career or business.
As an ambitious, high-level professional, executive, or entrepreneur, you’re great at what you do… but do other people know that?
Or is crippling public speaking anxiety holding you back?
You’re pretty confident in your expertise.
But as soon as all eyes are on you, that confidence goes out the window.
Whether it’s a big presentation, an interview, or even a Zoom call, you just… freeze.
That familiar lump grows in your throat, your palms get sweaty, and your knees shake uncontrollably.
You’re miserable and your audience can tell.
Instead of engaging them, you end up dampening your own credibility.
Or, worse.
You completely avoid all speaking opportunities. Only to be left in the dust as someone else gets that promotion, client, or deal that you dreamed of.
Imagine if you could…
- Get up in front of any audience (on livestreams, podcasts, Zoom, or in-person) and speak with confidence and authority
- Ace job interviews, sales calls, media interviews, and investor pitches with ease
- Build your authority, expand your visibility, and get noticed so you can get that promotion, new position, or new client
- Rest easy knowing you have the tools you need to stop anxiety in its tracks, navigate any unforeseen hiccup, and improvise like a pro
- ENJOY public speaking and start seeking out opportunities instead of hiding from them
From Anxious Exec to Serial Entrepreneur
Hi! I’m Victoria.
I've been where you are right now.
I used to be absolutely terrified of public speaking. One time, I literally ran off the stage in tears.
After that, the spotlight was something I avoided at all costs.
It didn't help that I was a massive introvert and English wasn't even my first language!
I knew I was meant for so much more, but I felt stifled. Like I didn’t have a voice.
As an ambitious executive with dreams of starting my own business, I knew I couldn’t reach my goals by continuing to hide behind the scenes.
So I tried everything to get over my fear…
Like taking classes, going to Toastmasters, watching videos, and reading every tip I could find.
But nothing worked.
Most speaking programs out there weren’t created by people who’ve experienced public speaking anxiety themselves. So they rely on tricks and band-aid solutions instead of actually getting rid of the underlying fear.
If you’ve ever been told to ‘keep practicing’ or had someone count how many times you said ‘like’, ‘um’, or ‘you know’ during a speech, then you’ve witnessed this firsthand.
These techniques polish your soft speaking skills, but they don’t build confidence. So you still end up panicking, shaking, and stumbling over your words when you get in front of that audience.
And continuing to practice in a state of fear actually promotes that state of fear. Meaning it becomes a habit. You start to feel fearful even thinking about speaking.
That’s why psychologists don’t treat phobias by just throwing a patient into a scary situation - they teach effective coping mechanisms and work on their mindset first.
Long story short, traditional speaking programs are making your fear worse.
With a background in software engineering, I was determined to create an evidence-based approach to conquering my fear once and for all. And after years of trial and error, I finally got there.
Today, speaking in front of an audience is something I do with joy. It propelled my corporate career to new heights and helped me launch several successful businesses.
I’ve appeared on Fox Morning News and have been featured in numerous publications, including NBC, CBS, and BizWest Media.
I started sharing my proven framework and helped 100s of executives, entrepreneurs, and professionals stop holding back and start speaking up.
Now, I want to help you, too!
I have done a lot of public speaking classes as I embark on a career that also includes doing talks and coaching, and your program is by far the best that I have done! It really clicked for me and has made a real difference! Love your program so much.

Prior to joining, I was afraid of forgetting my speech, of not keeping my audience’s attention, and of not being enough to step into the spotlight.
Throughout the program, Victoria put me at ease and gave me a simple plan on how to handle my fears, how to structure my speech, what to do so that my speech feels like a natural conversation, and how to handle unexpected things. I highly recommend Brilliant Speakers Academy. In all honesty, this has been one of the best online programs I've taken in a while. It has been a true blessing!

You’re a good fit for the program if:

This might not be for you if:
- You’re not a high-level professional, executive, or entrepreneur. I teach what I know, so this program won't be as helpful for you. For example, if you're a teacher working with kids, this program won't be a good fit for you.
- You’re not ready to invest some time, money, and energy into this. Overcoming your fear of public speaking isn’t easy. But those who put the work in will reap the benefits.
- You aren’t willing to “trust the process” and take feedback. This program works, but only if you’re open to it.
