How To Speak with CLARITY and NAIL YOUR MESSAGE
Every Time, Without Losing Your Words (or Your Audience)
... even if you get nervous, feel like an imposter or struggle to distill your expertise into a succinct message
When it comes to speaking in public, on a stage, to a small group or even in meetings, do you ...
- get nervous and choke on key messages?
- experience mind blanks or lose your words (even though you are smart and articulate normally)?
- ramble, waffle and say all the things you're thinking about the topic?
- find yourself talking faster than a speeding bullet, despite perfect pacing when you practiced?
You are not the only one!
In fact, the vast majority of people, regardless of profession, age or experience, tell me that they really struggle with speaking confidently or coherently, let alone impactfully.
Natural extroverts struggle, despite being the 'life of the party’, as they 'think out loud' and lose their audience in verbal stream of consciousness.
Passionate experts have a hard time distilling a message that connects, so they data-dump all their passion and leave their listeners overwhelmed.
And even the most experienced of professionals often feel like they are faking it, hoping no-one notices how nervous they are, or rely on impersonal speeches written by somebody else.
What if that changed?
What if ...
- you could speak calmly and confidently (instead of being nervous)?
- you knew exactly what to say and how to say it so that you land your key message (rather than forgetting everything you know when under pressure)?
- you know how to craft your message so you can make your point with grace and impact (instead of verbally dumping everything)?
- you could translate your years of experience and knowledge into powerful stories and presentations that drive change?
- you could speak with CONFIDENCE, CLARITY, AUTHORITY and AUTHENTICITY every.single.time you speak ... in meetings, in interviews, on a stage or even on video?
What If Indeed?!?!?!
The ability to speak, congruently and confidently, is one of the most valuable professional skills you can have.
Speaking is a SKILL.
Not a TALENT.
Which means it can be learned .... by everyone and ANYONE.
That means YOU!

Impactful Presenters Program
A 12-week online program where you'll discover how to speak with CONFIDENCE, AUTHORITY and IMPACT, no matter how nervous, scared or terrible you think you are at public speaking.
Next Program Starts August 2022
"It's really helped me overcome that whole Who Am I To Be Doing This?"
"That opportunity I had, to deliver the closing address at the conference ... I felt like I owned my message and claimed my stage.
Now, as a result, how I speak in my community has changed. It now has the same power that I felt on stage.
It's really helped me overcome that whole who am I to be doing this?"

"I'm much more confident"
"I'm much more confident approaching people in a business sense with an ask, and showing them why their participation is mutually beneficial.
I'm also so much better now connecting when speaking to a room of people ... and not being awkward."

I've always wanted to do a TED Talk, to be honest, and I used to say that to myself and panic. Now I'm feeing I can do that, and I will rock."

What's Included In The Program?
The Works-Every-Time Framework To Structure Your Presentations
You'll learn the 4-part Speaking With Confidence framework to structure your presentations, meetings, speeches and professional conversations. It's a plug 'n' play template where you add the information about your audience, your outcomes and key messages ... and voila, you have the blueprint for an impactful presentation.
Just this framework alone will transform how you speak, and that's in the very first week!
My Unique 'Sticky Note' Method So You Can Ditch The Script
Order your thoughts and structure your messages so you can talk from just a handful of 'prompter notes' so you can stay connected to your audience and responsive to their questions and input.
You'll never again need to speak from a script, teleprompter or slide-deck.
Just this one technique has been a game-changer for students.
The Napkin Note Method
How to speak spontaneously, effectively and confidently, and STILL deliver impact (even if you only had moments to prepare).
Even though this was created for networking events where you only have a 'napkin' to write on, this method is what I use EVERY DAY in impromptu professional conversations.
Plus Everything Else You Need to Be A Confident Speaker
There's tools for managing difficult audiences, techniques for mastering video (pre-recorded and live) and ways to be more engaging and connected with your audience.
You'll learn how to embrace your authentic voice so you're not the robot- or radio-announcer- version of yourself and you'll be able to speak with grace and finesse to audiences of all sizes.

Is The Impactful Presenters Program For You?
YES! Yes it is! This program is ABSOLUTELY for you if you:
- have something to say and are FRUSTRATED by your inability to say it.
- want to make an impact in your job, your industry, your community ... your world.
- are FRUSTRATED that the same old (boring) people are heard in meetings, get the promotions or get the speaking gigs because they've got charisma or the gift of the gab.
- currently fear or fumble when it comes to public speaking, but you REALLY need to speak better to progress your career.
It's not about being a professional speaker.
It's about being able to bring all of yourself to whatever it is you're doing. With authenticity, authority and impact.
I can now get more involved in industry leadership
"I can use my speaking now to help the rest of the team to collaborate better ... and that will make work a more enjoyable place to be.

I'm Taking You Behind The Scenes of 25 Years of Powerful Online and Offline Presentations Across Countless Industries and Some of the Toughest Audiences
I'm Cat Matson and I've been speaking, presenting and facilitating for more than 25 years. But not in a boring, rigid or even rah-rah way. In an authentic, natural, grounded and connected way. In fact the most common feedback I receive on those post-event survey forms is “I love how real and approachable Cat is”.
My speaking career started at school, on the debating team, where my favourite debating position was third speaker negative; in other words, minimum prep but maximum impact required. Then I spent 5 years working with probably the most challenging audience you can imagine; young people. And not compliant young people, but young people who were disadvantaged, dancing with the juvenile justice system and who were thought to be ‘unteachable’ and ‘un-tameable'. Turns out EVERYONE can learn and grow if they have good teachers who know how to connect with them.
But the bulk of my career has been in ‘professional circles’; business coaching, moderating panel events, delivering keynote speeches and leadership roles in the public service.
I've facilitated what we believe is the largest design thinking exercise with 450 people workshopping ideas for civic impact and on a regular basis I have to present what could otherwise be boring AF reports to Council in an interesting and engaging way to inspire action and decisions.
My ability to speak with passion, confidence, authenticity and authority, to audiences of 1 to thousands is EASILY the most powerful skill I have in my professional toolkit. And it is the 'secret’ to what others see as a career of significant leadership, impact and success.
Remember the 30-day Guarantee
Jump on in and give it a go for 30-days. That's 4-weeks of video lessons and 4 group coaching calls.
If it's not your jam, let me know and you'll get your money back.
No hard feelings and no issues. Easy.
The Impactful Presenters Program Takes You From Terrified To Confident In Just 12 Weeks
Truly.
I get that right now you're possibly scared or doubtful that this program will work for you. I get that right now you feel like speaking in public at all, let alone speaking confidently and impactfully in public is impossible, but it's not.
The Impactful Presenters Program provides you with all the know-how PLUS a supportive community and a safe space to practice and test your new skills so you can build your speaking confidence.
Can I promise you won't be nervous at all anymore when you speak?
No. I still get nervous before big speaking gigs.
But you won't be as nervous as you are now and you'll be able to deliver an effective, confident AND impactful presentation.
FINALLY Speak With Clarity And Nail Your Message
Look, let's face it ... there are HEAPS of ways to learn to speak with confidence.
You can join your local toastmasters group, you could sign up for a workshop and take a few days out of your work week to attend, or you could teach yourself by watching hours of TED talks.
Yep, that could work.
But will you really do that?
The hassle of going somewhere, at a certain time (every week for Toastmasters); do you really have time for that?
And watching TED talks are fun but they're all so scripted, all so 'the same’, will you really develop the confidence to speak authentically in any context?
Probably not.
The Impactful Presenters Program is a 12 week sprint that will give you life skills well beyond just standing and presenting; you'll develop the hard-wiring to be confident in all contexts so you can speak up, be heard and lead change.
The content is in bite-size chunks so you can watch or listen to as you go about your day (your commute, at the gym or in 15-minute grabs throughout the day).
And with the lifetime access bonus you can revisit any of the modules after the 12-week program is officially done.
Oh, and you'll have the benefit of community accountability and momentum from your cohort … so you'll make real progress in just 12 weeks (in the first 2 weeks to be honest!)

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I'm already pretty busy ... will I have enough time to do the program?
The program is structured into modules which are broken up into:
- short how-to videos
- optional homework and practice tasks which are designed to integrate into your professional life
- weekly 1 hour live sessions; you can attend live or watch the replay
So in total, if you can invest 90 - 120 minutes, spread over the course of a week, you can easily get through the content and get HUGE value from this program. And radically improve your speaking abilities.
Are there any fixed time commitments?
The bulk of the program is self-paced. Watch and listen when it works for you.
In addition to the program videos, there are weekly live sessions that are conducted online and during lunchtimes (AEST). You'll get date claimers in the first week of the program. And if you can't make a session live you won't be missing out; they're all recorded and available to watch at your convenience.
I'm a REALLY nervous speaker. Do you really think this program can help me?
YES!!! There have been people who started this program unable to present for 2 minutes without losing their words, getting embarrassed or being virtually incoherent ... and after the first module they're speaking articulately and with increased confidence. Learning to speak is a journey ... and you'll improve dramatically over the 12-week duration of the program and then you'll continue to improve as you use your new-found confidence
Is the program self-paced? Can I get access to the whole program at once?
Yes it's self-paced, no you won't access the program all at once.
New content is released weekly which you watch when you want. One live session is scheduled each week.
Once the content is released you literally have lifetime access to it. You'll get the most benefit from the live sessions if you're up to date with the videos; but if you're a bit behind on videos the live sessions will still make sense and will be beneficial.
How often do you run the Impactful Presenters Program?
I intend to run it a couple of times a year but that's not guaranteed. I have a full-on full-time job and am a single-mum to teenage boys. Life is full and Impactful Presenters is my hobby.
If you're keen, join now.
I have another question .... ?
Too easy - email me at cat.matson[@]impactfulpresenter.com.au (remove the [ ], they're just there to block the bots).
It's never been more important for the world to hear from diverse voices.
Voices like yours.
If a lack of confidence, skill or 'how to' is what's holding you back, then I would LOVE to see you in this Masterclass.
Just think, in just 12 weeks you could be speaking with confidence, authority, authenticity and impact.
I can't wait to hear what you have to say!
