Hi! I'm Melanie Spring.
I WANT YOU TO
ROCK YOUR TALK!
The SPEAK With Confidence Retreat began because I wanted a safe space to grow as a keynote speaker. Now, we are the ONLY public speaking retreat where you can write your next talk, practice on a real stage with lights & sound, AND go live in front of an audience to show off your newly honed skills. 

Now, it's your turn. Whether you want stop being afraid of the stage OR get paid bigger fees for speaking, we're ready for you. 

May 2021 is our LAST RETREAT & it's sold out!
Get away from your office &
WRITE YOUR TALK
Think back to the last conference you attended. You heard an inspirational speaker & thought, "I can do that." So, you pictured yourself on the big stage. You started thinking about what you would share. You went back to the office to work on it. And you got sucked back into your to-do list - for other people! 

You keep saying to yourself, "I'm going to speak at this next year." You sit down on a chair at the neighborhood pool where you get your big ideas and write your outline - only to get back to the office and abandon it all again on Monday.

You find yourself back at that same conference hearing more speakers and KNOW you need to be up there but never find the time to make it happen. So...

You hire someone to write your talk for you - and after you read what they came up with FROM YOUR IDEAS, you realize it doesn't sound like you - at all. 

You pay a lot of money for a class on performance or booking stages and then wonder, "WHAT THE HECK WILL I SAY?!"

You're not alone. Almost every speaker I've worked with has been right where you are. Including me. You tell everyone you want to do a TEDtalk or speak at SXSW or do a workshop at the conference you attend every year. You know more than the speakers. Yet, you also know that YOU are the reason you're not speaking. 

"I'm so busy." "I don't have the time." "I don't have the money." "My to-do list is too long."

It's time to make yourself a priority and WRITE YOUR DANG TALK!
Someone needs to hear what you have to say.
Let's BUild your talK
TOGETHER
"If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together." 

African Proverb
When I first started SPEAK With Confidence, I trained every speaker individually. We did one-on-ones and got them where they needed to be by the time they got on stage. And it ended up being a disservice to them.

After they saw their fellow speakers on stage, they saw their potential was even bigger than what they originally thought. So, after two events, I gathered all of their feedback and decided to make this an online course AND an in-person workshop. Their response was staggering.

MORE! More days. More time. More interaction. 

We took every bit of feedback the speakers would give us (and they gave us a lot!) and created the SPEAK With Confidence Retreat. A space for you to write your talk, practice your talk, and learn from subject matter experts on how to get in front of booking managers and sell your talk. No "journaling time" because I want to take a break. Truly impactful time for you to REALLY work on your talk, workshop, keynote, break-out session, or presentation and walk away with exactly what you need to make it a reality.

Not just an online course, but a fully built-out 3-day 4-night in-person Rockstar retreat. This experience includes TONS of hands-on work so you have the time to write, practice, and give your talk in front of other incredible professionals - JUST LIKE YOU!

"The value of this course is insane! The coaching, the branding, the staging, the input on hair, makeup & wardrobe, the flow of an A+ talk, the one-on-one time, the ongoing feedback... The course was definitely underpriced for all of the tangible value!" - Julie Lopez, SPEAK With Confidence Alumni

SPARK YOUR MAGIC
Creator of SPEAK With Confidence

Working with big brands & entrepreneurs for the last 18 years, I noticed that every human had a personal story to tell along with their brand story. Diving into the how-to of writing a branded talk, I saw an even bigger pattern - people wanted to write their talk but focused on what they had to do at work instead of their bigger impact in the world. I had to change this.

As an international keynote speaker, brand strategist, and workshop facilitator, I took all of my corporate & personal branding experience and created a safe place for kickass humans (like you!) to write the talk they needed to write so they could share it with the world. 

It all begins with getting incredible humans together to make magic. But you have to show up in order to experience the magic for yourself.

LOVE THIS
"This was a game changer for me!"
I've been wanting to talk in front of people for years and when I watched Melanie on stage inspiring people from an authentic place, I saw myself enter into that realm. The most valuable part of SPEAK With Confidence was having a real workbook at my fingertips AND the trainers when I needed them. This whole experience is priceless - and I will definitely be doing it again.

LINDSEY CHARLET
Owner of HUB Ltd 
SPEAK With Confidence changed my life! It taught me how to not only own my story​ but gave me the courage to share it and the tools necessary to make my story impactful. I really appreciated the attention paid to the smallest of details, such as staging, blocking, pacing, etc. I would HIGHLY recommend this course to anyone looking to grow as a public speaker or as a human!

AJ GIBSON
Perspective Expert. TV Host. Author.
Attending SPEAK with Confidence was educational and transformative. The conference super exceeded any and all of my expectations. I thought I would just go and learn how to craft and deliver a talk but I learned so much more. This experience allowed me to grow beyond my wildest dreams. It amazes me how a group of strangers could all come together and love and encourage one another in a genuine environment. This experience is definitely in my Top 5 Most Amazing Moments of my life!

RYAN OWENS
Assistant VP at Synchrony
"On par with Simon Sinek’s Start With Why and Marie Forleo’s B-School. Different, and yet I would say more exceptional."
It was THE MOST INCREDIBLE program I’ve attended. The process throughout the weekend was carefully crafted. Each step opened up our confidence and by the end, we took to the stage and gave our talks LIVE! EVERY SINGLE DETAIL was thought of. The thoughtful details throughout the week made me know that I could trust the process. The process was CLEARLY tested and tested again and working. The group dynamic, confidence, and support was 1000% improving through each moment over the weekend. 

If you’re considering a program like this... do it... It's The ONLY one to consider. This is one of those programs that is on par with Simon Sinek’s Start With Why and Marie Forleo’s B-School. Different, and yet I would say more exceptional. The quality is high and value, priceless. Thank you to Melanie for creating this masterpiece and dynamic program that allowed me to find the next stage of my speaking career.

KRISTIN DARGA

If you're ready to rock the stage and share your story and purpose with the world, the SPEAK With Confidence Accelerator IS the experience for you. It was worth every penny, and then some. I walked in with 25 strangers, and left with 25 best friends, and a talk that resonates with my souls, and the souls of my audience. I just unleashed a next level of confidence and I couldn't be more grateful.

ALEX AGRESTA
Purpose Alignment Coach at Purpose Pioneers
Public speaking has always been very intimidating to me, but Melanie presented this course in a way that made it approachable, and relatable. It's prepared with care and intention in every way, with attention to detail in everything from the venue, to the food, the content, and the people selected to attend. SPEAK With Confidence is a perfect reflection of who Melanie is as an individual... It’s thoughtful, personalized, elegant, and eloquent! It truly is magical and a safe space to face something that can be very scary. She held the space for me to see myself in a way I never have before.

DAYNA MILNE
Founder of Heart Compass
I have been to scores of events, conferences and training workshops in my career. Nothing compares to the experience and value I got out of SPEAK with Confidence. The pre-work and event sessions to get you from idea to keynote were highly effective. The people that were brought together were supportive and inspiring. Every detail of the event was on-point. Whether you want to write your first keynote or if you are an experienced speaker who wants to take their delivery to the next level, the SWC workshop is unequivocally the best (and most fun) journey to get you confident in front of a crowd and ready to bring your important message to the world!

RACHEL DOWNEY
Business Guide
SPEAK With Confidence helped me face my fear of public speaking by understanding myself first. The coursework and teamwork was deeply introspective which led to the whole experience being very transformative for me personally and professionally! SWC helped me grow & show up as a better version of myself helping me focus on my talk with REAL meaning & impact. Melanie’s inspiration and coaching literally transformed me to show up on a whole new level! The return on investment to my organization was immediate upon my return from the retreat!

Attending SPEAK With Confidence was an extraordinary experience. Frankly, it changed my life. Melanie Spring and her talented team of trainers and experts helped me realize my dream, to speak confidently, build a brand and own the stage. We all learned from each other in a safe and positive environment. There is no better facilitator on the planet than Melanie. Trust and believe in her. Take that step forward. I promise you one thing, it will change your life and you will realize your dream.

COLIN POTTS
Chief Operating Officer of ROSM
Melanie Spring is amazeballs!! She created a speaking workshop that pulls you out of your comfort zone and helps you get your message to the masses. SPEAK With Confidence helps you create a talk from the stories and knowledge that is already embedded in your brain - not from memorizing or slides. Melanie and her crew work with you and give you all the tools you need to get on the stage and speak with confidence (pun intended) by showing you that it doesn't have to be that hard. If you are looking to attend a workshop that will allow you to craft a talk with a big message, this is the workshop you MUST attend.

It’s a safe, amazing place to play and explore how and who you are on stage! Highly recommend!"
