Confidently Speaking is a 12-month program that transforms your nerves into confidence, so that you can communicate with clarity and impact (No matter the setting or audience.)

Overcome your fear and become a Confident Speaker!

I know managing your fear and nerves is challenging for you.

In this program, you'll experience the power of improv and consistent practice, so you can confidently command the room, captivate your audience, and tell stories that transform lives.  

You can be a Confident and Credible Speaker, too.

Imagine what you will feel like when the NEXT time you take the “stage”, you stand confidently and proudly in your presentation and communicate with clarity, passion, and relatability. 
 
This is possible for you!

In addition to FEELING good, you can expect these results AFTER you speak:

• No more confused customers and audiences.

• More sales of your products and services.

• Invitations to more speaking and career opportunities.

• Attracting new customers and higher retention of existing clients. 
  
  

The Confidently Speaking Program includes:

• A 6 module Own Your Presentation on-demand course to help you structure your next presentation with ease. 
   

• Weekly improv-based classes that help you develop your confidence, be more adaptable in stressful situations, speak off the cuff, and create solutions for incorporating more humor and stories into your presentations. 
   

• Monthly speaker challenges designed to get you out of your comfort zone. Each month we pick a challenge to help you practice your on camera or stage presence, develop more self-awareness, and work on your speaker’s mindset. 
   

• Monthly Deep Dive LIVES with me on Mighty Networks where I go deeper on a topic program clients want to know more about. 
   

• Spotlight Sessions where you and I go live on your preferred platform (LinkedIn, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, or TikTok) so you gain visibility, content to use for your own communications, and practice being in the spotlight.

If you’ve read this far and your heart is saying “yes” to The Confidently Speaking Program, but you still have some doubts, let’s talk about them now…

• "Do your colleagues tell you “good job” after every presentation?" While this may be true, most likely there are many ways to improve your presentation so you get BETTER results.
  
  

• "Think this program is too expensive?" Where else can you get a self-paced presentation training program + a community of professionals dedicated to their professional growth + improv exercises to help you develop your confidence, adaptability, and personalized coaching each week–all for less than a pint of fancy ice cream? No where.
  
  

• “I don’t have the time.” Can you find 60 minutes a week to meet with us to improve your speaking skills? If yes, then time isn’t an issue (just an excuse you keep using). 
  
  

• "Group programs don’t work for me." The purpose of this program is to get you uncomfortable so you can grow as a speaker. I have constructed a very safe and brave space for program clients to make mistakes–and it’s really hard to get better at speaking when all you do is speak to your mirror.
  
  

• “I’m not looking to be a performer.” I am not asking you to be a performer; however, there are performative elements to speaking that must be present when you speak so that you are persuasive and engaging. Your audience will thank you for this! 
  
  

• My introversion and shy bones are screaming! I hear you, and you are like many of the program clients I help everyday. You are still reading, so there is a part of you that REALLY wants and needs to do this. So let’s go!

The Confidently Speaking Program isn't ideal for someone who:

• Isn't willing to do the work
• Doesn't like to have fun
• Isn't a team player
• Values comfort over growth

This program is best suited for someone who:

• Wants to be a confident, credible and relatable speaker
• Understands the benefits of group coaching
• Does the work required (including consistent practice)
• Likes to laugh and learn at the same time

Meet Meridith, your speaking coach!

Meridith Grundei is the owner of Grundei Coaching, specializing in public speaking and presentation skills.

As an award-winning theatre director, producer, and former Second City improv teacher, she recognized the similarities between performing for audiences on stage every night and presenting to clients/colleagues every day. However, the latter didn't have the right tools to bring their stories to life.

So, she decided to do something about it. Grundei Coaching specializes in presentation and public speaking consultation, individual training and development, and creative team solutions using improvisational theatre techniques to build trust, empathy, and out-of-the-box thinking.

Her clients include entrepreneurs looking to expand their brand by appearing on more stages and managers, leaders, and teams in both tech and medical fields. Some of her most recent clients include Panasonic, Amazon AWS, Merck, Idorsia, and the Iowa Department of Health.
