When you start your career, working hard is how you get ahead. You can lay low in meetings, do solid work, and still manage to overdeliver in your job.
But there comes a point where you can’t continue to grow just by working the hardest.
As you rise into middle management and beyond, having a confident voice matters way more than your willingness to work the hardest.
A strong voice and rock-solid communication skills are how you show your boss that you can handle the big projects and the promotions.
Your voice is your key to transitioning from hard-working employee, to powerful leader.
This thought can be anxiety inducing if you identify as being quiet, introverted, or shy.
It’s easy to convince yourself that maybe you don’t want to grow or get promoted, because that would mean bigger meetings, more visibility, and even scarier situations.
If you’ve ever found yourself feeling torn between your ambition to rise, and your struggles with speaking confidently, here’s what I want you to know:
Becoming a confident, powerful voice in the room is 100% learnable, even if you feel like you're the one person whose anxiety & self-doubt will keep you stuck forever.
I created The Art of Speaking Up Academy for ambitious women who are ready to finally have their voice be as strong as their work ethic so they can feel powerful in meetings and achieve the professional success that they desire.

Building a confident voice is NOT just for the lucky ones, the special snowflakes, the women who possess some skill or secret that you lack.
Your confidence & voice are like muscles – whether you’re genetically gifted or not, proper exercise WILL help them grow stronger.
And as that happens, an entire world of professional success opens up to you.
You’ll find yourself enjoying work more, feeling less anxious, and delivering much higher quality work. Your entire quality of life will improve when the rooms you’re in stop feeling so intimidating & scary.
Each session will give you the option to participate, practice, and speak. However, you will never, ever be pressured, forced, or judged. You will ALWAYS be able to go at the pace that feels right for you.
Our calls will combine core teachings, individual coaching, and practice in a highly encouraging, nonjudgmental space
(I loathe perfectionism and will encourage you to show up just as you are. Frizzy hair? PJ's? Cat wants to crash the Zoom? Love it.)
By the end of the program, you’ll have skills that will stay with you for the rest of your career, and friendships that will endure far beyond the 6 months we’ll spend together.

This program exceeded my expectations in terms of learnings and experience.
I have grown a lot during the last 6 months thanks to these sessions and hearing from & sharing among similar minded women has been just amazing.
Thank you Jess for all the hard work, professionalism and dedication given during this program. I will remember this for a very very long time!

About Jess
Hi there - I’m Jess.
I've accomplished some pretty big things in my career - I have a JD from Columbia, corporate strategy experience at companies like McKinsey and Disney, and I became a corporate executive at age 32.
I understand what it’s like to feel stuck in fear, self-doubt, and shyness because I spent the first several years of my career trying to get noticed as little as possible and performing way below my full potential.
Through years of inner work, professional successes (and failures), and time spent cultivating my voice as a podcast host and theater performer, I transformed from the inside out, rebuilding my self-confidence, and finding a confident voice that finally feels like ME.
My inner growth massively accelerated my advancement in the 9-5 space (and quite frankly, changed my life).
Now I’m a full-time coach dedicated to helping other women experience their own transformation. I combine my expertise in executive communication & leadership with my knowledge in mindset, psychology and theater to help women become powerful effin’ badasses in the workplace.
It would be my honor to support you in finding a voice that makes you feel on FIRE and empowers you to bring your unique genius to the surface at work.
Meetings will be part of your career for years and years to come. You have been in, and will be in, thousands of meetings throughout your career.
What happens in these rooms is going to shape the future of your career.
Your willingness to master meetings today is going to impact what position you’re in 1, 5, and 10 years from now.
Your voice and your communication skills are how you position yourself for the leadership roles that you deserve - because in Corporate America you truly can’t work your way up, you have to speak your way up.
So much can change in 6 months. Your commitment to your growth today could mean that 6 months from now, you’re

What time are the live sessions?
Call times for the next cohort will be announced when doors open! Be sure you're on the waitlist so you're first to find out.
How many women will be in the program?
Your cohort size will depend on how many women sign up, but I'll be capping the group size at 10-11 women max. The past 3 cohorts have had 8-9 participants per cohort.
Will I have to speak during the sessions?
You will never be called on or forced to contribute if you don't want to...but...you might really surprise yourself and realize that you actually WANT to speak and interact during the sessions :) (that is a very common experience inside this program.)
What if I miss a call?
While I strongly encourage you to attend the sessions live (that's what will help you grow most), you'll have lifetime access to the core curriculum content and session recordings. But - try to join the sessions because I know you'll experience deeper change if you're in the space with us live.
I REALLY want to join but I just can't make the call time work.
If this is the case, please send me an email at jessica@theartofspeakingup.com - I will take this into account when I open up future cohorts of the program. I would love for you to be able to join a future round!
I want to join but I'm unsure if this will be worth the cost.
I totally get it - making the leap to invest in a program like this can feel scary. Here's the thing, though - you will get out of the program what you put in. Inside this program, in addition to the full curriculum that I teach -- I offer *unlimited* coaching inside our private Slack community. So you can decide ahead of time that you will get your money's worth by taking advantage of everything this program has to offer.
Will this program help me get rid of stage fright?
The Academy curriculum isn’t designed to eliminate stage fright – it’s designed to help you master the art of executive communication, and feel more confident about yourself in meetings. For many of my clients, the tools they’ve learned had the side-effect of reducing their stage fright -- but if your only goal is to eliminate stage fright this program probably isn't the best fit. If you’re unsure, I encourage you to reach out to me at jessica@theartofspeakingup.com and I can help answer your questions.
Help! I can't decide if this is right for me.
I want you to make sure this program is a good fit for you before you make the decision to join, so please reach out to me at jessica@theartofspeakingup.com if you’re feeling uncertain about the fit of the program. I can walk through any questions you have and help you figure out if this is the right next step for you.
Because it’s a small cohort of women, I can’t offer refunds or cancellations once you sign up. So hit me up with any concerns or questions you have and we’ll sort it out together.
