NEXT COHORT STARTS APRIL 21ST WITH LIVE EVENT JUNE 2026
Make impact *beyond* social media
[REAL TALK]
Great speakers are made, not born.
THERE IS A CONFIDENT SPEAKER IN US ALL.
But in order to be the speaker whose name everyone remembers and who's impact goes beyond social media you need to know how to craft an engaging talk - not just rattle off everything you know or share your entire life story. It's not about who knows the most, it's about who connects the most. And speakers who connect, convert.
Does this sound like you?
+ You are phenomenal at what you do and believe so deeply in your work, but you're not sure on the best way to go about sharing it all. What do I leave in? What do I leave out?
+ You want to speak, but have no clue what your keynote should be about.
+ In the past, you have felt pretty confident, but tend to repeat yourself, use fillers words or waffle on a bit. You'd love to make your message more concise and articulate.
+ You're the Queen of "Winging It" - but know you could do so much better if you had a proven structure to follow
+ You spend hours watching famous TED Talks (Brene Brown at least 5 times) convincing yourself you’re ‘researching’ but never actually start creating your own signature talk
+ You dream of taking the stage and regularly speaking at events around the country to hundreds of people. You're just not sure of how to go about pitching yourself. What do you say? Who do you reach out to?
+ You’ve built the 6 or 7-figure business and loyal database and want to leverage that (instead of saying 'No' to speaking requests because you haven't 'felt ready' yet)
+ You keep saving bits of your story and ideas for a talk into the Notes app - but never actually shape them into anything. So right now you have 127 notes and no speech.
+ You did that old-school speaker training your previous boss paid for, but it was all theory and rules - no clear plan or opportunity to actually put it into practice
+ You're sitting front row at an industry event, and you just know you could do what the women up on stage (who have less experience than you) are doing. But how?
+ You spend way too long making your slide deck look impressive and agonise between two different shades of navy and whether you should use Helvetica or Monsterrat before a presentation
Well, you're in the right place...
Hi! I'm Nicole Joy - Speaking & Presenting Coach

MY PROVEN FRAMEWORK
The Three Pillars of Becoming A Speaker
The method I have personally developed after having spoken on stages around the country for over 20 years
With these three essential elements, you’ll go from “Where do I even start?!” to confidently delivering a talk that leaves people moved, inspired, and ready to work with you.
Your talk is your product.
Choosing the right topic isn’t just about what you feel like sharing - it’s about finding the sweet spot where your story, your expertise, and your audience’s needs collide. This is where you shape your message into something unforgettable.
Knowing your talk is one thing… delivering it is another. We’ll cover the unspoken rules that separate amateurs from pros (so many new speakers don’t even know about these). From stage presence, and body language to what to wear for maximum impact. Plus you will deliver your talk in front of a live audience at a world class event and have it professionally recorded to launch your speaking career
I’ll show you the difference between speaking as a business and speaking for your business (and why you should concentrate on the latter). We'll position you as the go-to woman in your industry - the one who’s invited onto podcasts, stages, and panels because people can't get enough of you.
Imagine how good this will feel...
You won't just have 'speaker' in your bio - you actually become one.
Instead of sitting in the audience thinking, “I could do that,” you are the one standing on stage, delivering your message - no waffling, no repeating yourself, no leaning on filler words. You finally feel like you can articulate your message and keep the room engaged.
You don't have to 'wing it' anymore. You’ve got a structure that makes it easy to share the right story for the right audience, every time.
You walk into a room full of your peers and industry leaders and instead of feeling shaky or second-guessing yourself - you feel calm, clear and confident - ready to share what you know. That little voice in your head is now your greatest cheerleader!
Speaking invitations are rolling in - panels, podcasts, events - as you leverage what you have built already into more dreamy opportunities and collaborations.
You don’t just 'make it through' your talk - you make a real impact. People come up to you afterwards saying how incredible you were and ask how they work with you more. Your name pops up in rooms you aren't even in now, people know who you are.
TAKE A LOOK INSIDE THE 8 WEEK CURRICULUM
She Speaks Academy
CRAFT AND DELIVER YOUR SIGNATURE TALK + LAUNCH YOUR SPEAKING CAREER
Product
Creating a world-class signature talk. I’ll show you how to stop guessing and start choosing a topic that hits the sweet spot between what excites you, what your audience needs, and what makes event organisers say, “We want her.”
✅ How to choose your topic
Just because you can talk about something, doesn't mean you should. You’ll learn how to find the sweet spot where your lived experience, your expertise, and the audience’s needs meet — so you stand out for the right reasons.
✅ Speaking isn’t about you (really!)
I’ll teach you how to frame your topic so it resonates with the audience you want to reach.
✅ The Storytelling Cheat Sheet
Stories aren’t just anecdotes — they’re the reason people lean in. You’ll uncover how to use personal stories, borrowed stories, and case studies to build credibility, move hearts, and make your message unforgettable.
✅ Your Signature Talk Blueprint
It's not about telling you to 'start strong' or 'end with emotion.' We’ll break down the five essential parts every effective talk needs (and what so many aspiring speakers leave out)
Presence
The X-Factor you can learn. Creating a talk is one thing, delivering it in a way that lands - is an entirely different thing altogether. With these modules you'll learn to nail your on stage presence so every word lands, every time.
✅ Congruence – why your words, tone, and body language must align to build trust.
✅ The S.P.E.A.K. Formula – the five core delivery skills that will help you to show up feeling calm and confident every time.
✅ Pitch, Tone, Pace & Energy – the subtle but powerful tools that make you engaging to listen to.
✅ Practice With Purpose - rehearsal secrets that help you to sound natural, stay in flow (and what to do if you go blank)
Profit
How to get paid *as* a speaker, and *for* speaking. (There's a very important distinction that so many people overlook)
✅ Your Speaker Identity & Message
Before anyone else can introduce you, you need to know exactly who you are as a speaker and what you’re known for. I’ll help you clarify your speaker identity and core message so you can communicate it consistently across every platform.
✅ The Bookability Blueprint
What event organisers, agencies, and podcasts really look for (hint: it’s not just expertise). Learn how to align your talk, your story, and your branding so you become the obvious choice for the right stages.
✅ Platform Presence Audit
I’ll show you how to make your social media, website, and speaker kit say “credible speaker” at just one glance - from what to feature in your bio to the photos that get you booked.
✅ Pitch Scripts & Strategies
You’ll get fill-in-the-blanks scripts to pitch yourself confidently to podcasts, panels, and conferences — so you’re never stuck wondering what to say or who to reach out to first.
✅ The Speaker Marketing System
How to tie everything together: your online presence, consistent visuals, brand voice, testimonials, and showreel - so when an organiser checks you out, they see a polished professional.
PLUS you will also get...
THE FULL SHE SPEAKS ACADEMY LIVE EVENT EXPERIENCE
You won't have to pretend to be a speaker anymore, you'll be the real deal.
Video Footage
Professional video footage of your talk to kick start your speaker showreel so you can showcase your expertise and land more speaking opportunities.
Professional Photos
Important elements of your speaker marketing kit, professional photos of you on stage, doing your thing, is a must. So naturally - it's included.
Headshots & B-roll
On brand headshots and b-roll in a separate shoot will also be organised so you can show up looking profesh everywhere you show up online.
Here's the truth...
If you're relying on pretty carousels and word salad on LinkedIN to stand out, you're going to be left behind...
In order for people to invest in you, they need to trust you.
And the fastest way to get someone to trust you? Is speaking in person.
In an AI-driven world, individuals who can confidently speak in person, and engage a room full of humans has the upper hand.
Speaking is your edge.
Your story is not yours to keep and when you learn to share it in the way that only you can, your voice has the power to spark movements, initiate change and impact people all over the world.
Meet your mentor!
Chosen as an official TEDx speaker coach in 2024, I’ve helped over 50 women through She Speaks Academy to command the stage and speak confidently on camera, many for the very first time.
But I don’t just teach this… I live it. With two decades of experience speaking to packed audiences around Australia, presenting and acting on television and in national campaigns, I know exactly what it takes to captivate, influence, and get noticed.
If you’re ready to lead from the front, light up the stage and shine on camera - I'm your lady.
Don't just take my word for it though...
Peta-Lea Brenda | WOMAN EMPIRE PROJECT
Since working with Nicole, I have gained the confidence and skills to truly establish myself as a speaker. I have successfully launched my own speaking events, relaunched my podcast with certainty, and actively seek out speaking engagements because I now feel equipped to deliver impactful talks. Nicole has provided me with the essential tools to elevate my speaking career and embrace new opportunities with confidence.
Nat | RELATIONSHIP COACH
The number one reason I wanted to learn from Nicole was to help me become a better story teller. I feel there’s so many elements and pieces of my story -- and I really needed someone who could pick out the parts that I needed and which I could leave out. Nicole’s stage presence and ability to tell such edge-of-your-seat stories is so inspiring. I have since been booked for several business speaking opportunities all thanks to the marketing I learnt with this incredible woman!
Chanelle | MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER
I have always known I wanted to be a speaker, but I just didn’t know how to go about structuring a talk or putting myself out there to get work. Since working with Nicole I have been booked to speak at major conferences and collaborate on nation wide apps. Everything I learned inside of Nicole’s programme has been so valuable for me to launch my speaking career and I can't recommend her enough!
Joyce Santiago Savage
Motivational & TEDx Speaker
In 2024 I was invited to speak in Manila TEDx UPV Woman and I was so happy that they partnered me with Nicole! She helped with presentation, content and delivery - I love the way she teaches, it's just so easy to absorb and to follow and I have tools and techniques from her that I will use for the rest of my life. If you want a speaking coach - I highly recommend Nicole.
Monique | Functional Health Practitioner, ONE DAY WORKSHOP
It was so transformational! I initially came because I wanted to figure out how to share my story and be able to convey my message in a way that was engaging, but not super elaborate. What we learnt blew my mind and I now have all the tips and strategies I need to tell my story with confidence.
Kristina | becomingHER, ONE DAY WORKSHOP
I really wanted to build my skills in public speaking - particularly to be able to get confident in sharing my story. I now have so much more confidence and I would recommend it to any woman!
Jasmin | High-ticket Business Mentor, ONE DAY WORKSHOP
I wanted to learn how to share my story on a deeper level and learn how I can take all these thoughts that I have and better articulate them to create a really impactful talk - which I have defintitely done today. If you are thinking about becoming a speaker or just want to learn how to speak more authentically - I highly recommend

+ You often rely on reading from a piece of a paper or directly from your powerpoint slides because you’re scared of messing up.
+ Although you really want to start speaking, you keep saying no because you don't 'feel ready yet'. You’ve never been show how to craft or deliver a talk (your perfectionist side would rather say no, than do it 'wrong.')
+ You’re sick of watching other women land the opportunities that you want - speaking at events, invitations to podcasts, even a book deal - when you know you have just as much to offer.

You'll walk off the stage with that F*ck!-I-just-nailed-that energy while your audience has already started stalking your Instagram and DMing you about how they can work with you.
Learning to speak confidently on stage increases your credibility and authority (we're moving beyond the gram here lady!) which will attract the attention of brands looking for ambassadors, podcasts hosts looking for their next guests and event organisers looking for their next speaker. All while getting you in front of more people, so you can make more of an impact and open the door to even more opportunities.
