Public Speaking VIP Day
The VIP Experience
A fast-track, high-impact experience designed for leaders who need results now.
I help leaders translate expertise into influence. When your message isn’t crisp, influence slips, ideas stall, action slows, and bigger roles go to the person who speaks with clarity and conviction. The Public Speaking VIP Day is a private, in-person experience in Dallas, TX, an intimate, confidential setting to sharpen and pressure-test your public speaking for mission-critical moments: high-stakes trainings, executive/investor pitches, flagship keynotes, enterprise all-hands, and strategy presentations that rally stakeholders and unlock resources.
In six focused hours, we will build message architecture, craft and rehearse your opening and key points, sharpen delivery and executive presence, stress-test with tough Q&A, lock in a clear storytelling framework, and equip you with tools to regulate nerves under pressure.

Overview of the Day
Across six focused hours, we map your message, build a compelling opening, and pressure-test delivery in realistic scenarios. The morning centers on content and structure; the afternoon shifts to presence, Q&A drills, and a concrete rehearsal plan you can run the week of your talk.
Meet Summer
I first stepped onto a stage to facilitate a training in 2011, and I was terrified. Up until then, I was an introverted book lover with no aspirations of public speaking. But something shifted for me that day; I realized that speaking wasn’t about performance; it was about impact. That perspective helped me release the fear and lean into growth. With the help of coaching and training (hello Toastmasters!), I honed my skills, and what once scared me most has become one of my favorite things to do.
Since then, I’ve delivered hundreds of talks and training sessions for thousands of leaders around the world. From in-person sessions in Sydney, Australia and São Paulo, Brazil to virtual sessions with leaders in India, China, the UK, Canada, and across the U.S., I know what it takes to connect with an audience in any setting.
What I love most is working with leaders who already have the knowledge, expertise, and results, but whose message and delivery don’t yet reflect that level of brilliance. Helping leaders align their voice with their value is where the transformation happens, and it’s why I created this experience.
To support that transformation, I bring not only global speaking experience but also a strong foundation of professional training: a Master’s in Organizational Leadership, certifications in Insights Discovery, the Intercultural Development Inventory (IDI), and DEI&B from Stanford, along with a certificate in Educating Adults from DePaul University.
Here’s the truth I’ve seen again and again: your ability to use your voice with clarity and confidence is what shapes how others experience your leadership. This VIP Day is designed to give you the tools, practice, and feedback you need to walk into any speaking moment, whether it’s a team meeting or a big stage and deliver with impact.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the session confidential?
Absolutely. We will both sign a confidentiality agreement, and everything discussed or created during your VIP Day, including draft slides and scripts, is kept private.
How is the VIP Day different from your multi‑month coaching?
The VIP Day is an immersive, high‑intensity experience rather than a condensed coaching program. It includes a one‑hour pre‑session strategy call, six hours of in‑person coaching with a working lunch, and a one‑hour post‑session integration call. It’s designed to fast‑track your executive presence and message clarity for a specific high‑stakes event in a single day, rather than providing the ongoing development and accountability of the three‑month coaching program.
What should I bring or prepare for my VIP Day?
Plan to send your draft materials (slides, outline, audience details and context) at least 2 weeks before the session. Bring a notebook or device for taking notes and wear comfortable clothes suitable for speaking practice. Having a clear goal for your upcoming presentation helps us target our time together.
Can I reschedule my VIP Day?
Because this is a premium offering with limited availability (1–2 dates per quarter), rescheduling requires at least one week’s notice. We’ll work with you to find the next available date that fits our schedules; a reschedule fee may apply if notice is shorter.
Do you offer virtual VIP Days?
The VIP Day is designed as an in‑person experience in Dallas, Texas, to maximize focus and feedback. In extraordinary circumstances, we can discuss a virtual intensive, but the default and most effective format is in person.

Several high‑end hotels nearby provide a comfortable base. Options include:
• Omni Frisco Hotel at The Star – a 16‑story luxury hotel with 300 rooms and suites at The Star in Frisco; amenities include a fourth‑floor pool deck, Peloton‑equipped fitness center and three dining outlets thestardistrict.comomnihotels.com.

What types of speaking occasions is the VIP Day best for?
This experience is ideal for keynotes, board or ELT presentations, meetings, training prep, investor reviews, or any other high‑stakes moment where your presence and message must land perfectly.
Is media training included?
No. The VIP Day focuses on executive presence, content clarity, delivery, storytelling and handling tough Q&A for live presentations. Media‑specific training (interviews, press conferences, TV appearances) requires a different skill set and isn’t part of this offering.
What’s included in the investment?
Your $7.5k investment covers the one‑hour pre‑session call, six‑hour in‑person day with lunch, customized content development and practice, real‑time feedback on tone and presence, a tailored Public Speaking Guide outlining strengths and growth areas, and a one‑hour post‑session integration call to reinforce your progress.
Do I have to be a senior leader to book a VIP Day?
While the experience is optimized for senior leaders and executives, it’s open to any professional or entrepreneur preparing for a high‑stakes presentation. If you’re ready to invest in personalized, high‑touch coaching, you’re eligible.
How far in advance should I schedule my VIP Day?
Because availability is limited to one or two dates per quarter, it’s best to reserve your session several weeks in advance. Once we select a date, you’ll complete a pre‑session call to outline goals and share materials.
Can I bring a colleague or team member to my VIP Day?
The VIP Day is designed as a one‑on‑one experience to maximize focus and feedback. If you need coaching for a team presentation or multiple presenters, I can create a separate engagement tailored to that need.
