Crafting a Talk That Lands

Open exclusively to all Speakers Collective members!

You might already have a talk that works, but wonder how to make it resonate more deeply. Or you may have a powerful idea, story, or message that hasn’t quite found its shape yet. Wherever you are in the process, this workshop will help you move forward.

In this interactive session, you’ll explore how meaningful talks are built, how to refine what you already have, and how to translate ideas into a message audiences can feel and remember. With 45 minutes of teaching and 15–20 minutes for questions and conversation, you’ll leave with clarity, direction, and renewed momentum toward your signature talk.

About Jezra 

Whether you're promoting an idea, selling a product, making a presentation, or interviewing for a job, you need to organize your thoughts and command respect — while sounding unapologetically like yourself.

That's what I teach my clients to do. 

I use my skills as a former jazz singer, a Fortune 100 speechwriter, and a speaker coach with more than 25 years of experience — along with tools like the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), and EQ-i 2.0 — to help my clients speak powerfully and confidently, and get results. And I practice what I preach, as a keynote speaker who talks to audiences about a wide range of communications topics.
