    The Big Talk Academy (BTA) content is comprehensive and thorough. After being certified by BTA I began applying the teachings of BTA and started seeing immediate results. When graduates, like myself, truly integrated the transformative process, success will be the outcome and will match the goals you set for yourself. Indeed, BTA is also not just about being a great professional speaker. With teachings such as addressing limiting beliefs, clarifying thoughts, and writing narratives BTA can transcend into many aspects of an individual's life.

    The Big Talk Academy is the real deal. ****** Brouk truly cares about the people she works with. Her passion is evident in the way she serves her clients. I know first hand how hard she works to help them craft their message. She has given the gift of voice to so many who want to make a difference in the world. The process, coupled with her expertise and dedication, makes it an easy choice for anyone who either wants to break into the speaking industry or for someone, like myself, who just needs an expert to walk along side them as they redesign the next steps in their career. She and her team know how to craft, direct, and bring the message to fruition. And, it's all done with ****** *****.

    I credit The Big Talk Academy for launching my professional speaking career! After participating in several speaking programs and walking away with little to show for it, I can confidently say that The Big Talk Academys training and certification program parallels none. Under the tutelage of ****** Brouk, I have gone on to speak multiple times at the ************** ************** on the Status of Women and have given a TEDx Talks at ****************. Not only did I find my influential voice, but being in the program and the ************* has been a transformational experience, both personally and professionally.

    The Big Talk Academy (BTA) provides a high-touch experience for speakers and thought leaders. My interactions with the Big Talk team were personable and professional from my first inquiry through the 12-week program and continuing post-certification. Unlike similar programs, ****** Brouk leads every Zoom call in the program. She is masterful at managing her time on the call. At the end of each call, I had pages of notes with ample opportunity to ask questions and receive coaching on my signature talk. At the end of the 12 weeks, I had a new signature talk and video, a speaker one-sheet, and a speaker bio. With these materials and the knowledge gained from the Academy, I applied for and was accepted into my first TEDx event within three months. This would not have been possible without The Big Talk Academy. I know I am not an anomaly. The best part about *** is the community. I have the opportunity to celebrate the success of other graduates as The Big Talk team facilitates connecting *** graduates from all over the world. The Big Talk Academy is a 12-week program with a lifetime of possibilities.

    Without a doubt The Big Talk Academy (BTA) is one of the best Speaking Courses I've taken. The content is robust with a great depth and breadth that covers preparation, building confidence, access to emails for speaking engagements, lots of practice, personal and group coaching and how to get paid for your skills and knowledge amongst so many other things. Tricia and her team are mission focused and student focused making sure each one of us felt valued and part of the team. Don't get me wrong.. you have to work hard in the class. You must engage and do the work. As with many classes you will get out of the class what you put into it. My fellow speakers joined from around the world at all hours of the day and night joining together for a common goal, impacting others by using our voices. A true world class group of aspiring speakers and world changers. I made new friends for life! I highly recommend BTA if you are serious about creating a speaker platform.

    The Big Talk Academy is where I first articulated the ideas that would become the foundation of my coaching and speaking business. It was the ideal place to find that crucial clarification and then learn to express it uniquely and powerfully, with formulas for both writing and performing quality material that stand the test of time.

    I was so pleased with the Big Talk Academy (BTA). As a person who is fallen victim to speaking "coaches" and empty programs, I was thrilled to find and complete BTA. I'm a professional speaker now with accreditation through *** and wouldn't have been able to accomplish what I'm doing now without this journey. If you're considering *** and ready for your life to change for the better, I urge you to jump on in.

    The Big Talk Academy offers an unparalleled level of learning for professional speakers, far surpassing any other program I've taken. Beyond essential skill-building and expert guidance, participants are embraced by a remarkable community of thought leaders. The respect and care extended to every member throughout the learning and practice process reflect the integrity of founder, ****** Brouk, and her dedicated team.Thanks to the exceptional training I received, I've had the privilege of booking high-level speaking engagements that previously seemed out of reach. Despite having prior stage experience, the insights I gainedboth in the craft of public speaking and the industry at largehave completely transformed my professional speaking career.This program also ignited a drive in me to pursue and be invited to stages where my message can create meaningful change, such as TEDx, ********** Amazon, the World Economic Forum, and the ** General Assembly. I wholeheartedly encourage anyone seeking to grow as a powerful speaker to enroll. Its the best investment you can makeone that will profoundly enrich both your professional and personal life.

    A number of years went by, and not a few connections in my line of work that narrowed for me more and more where I was prepared to place my trust, when it became clear to me that I had a message I wanted to share with people, if not the world. This was a very vulnerable position forme. Integrity and trust were essential qualities I looked for in sharing this vulnerability, and more importantly, someone who understood intimately the psychology and the professionalism needed to nurture a speaker that an audience will find has integrity, and reliability. In ****** Brouk, and the Big Talk Academy I found these qualities. Since first interacting with ****** online in 2017, I travelled from *********** to take part in the Speaker Salon in ******** in 2023, and met ****** in person. I have never had reason to doubt my decision to place my trust in ****** and to take the biggest step forward of my life.
