If you can't effectively influence people in conversations ...
If you can't authentically connect with your team, stakeholders or clients ...
... then it doesn't matter how passionate, committed, knowledgeable or insightful you are ...
... your contribution to your community, your cause, your business, will stay 'small'
... and you'll remain frustrated that others around you seem to make yourselves heard ... while you can't.
Introducing
Speaking Essentials is a comprehensive online training program to help business owners, professional and community leaders gain THE MOST valuable skill in their professional toolkit ...
... speaking with confidence, authority, authenticity and impact.
In all speaking environments. Every.Single.Time.
"I have so much more confidence even with a very short Earn-The-Right.
I have been amazed at the difference it makes to the conversation flow.
This course is brilliant!"
Peta Chapman, Land Access Coordinator, Telstra
While we all learned to speak as children, we weren’t taught to speak, POWERFULLY.
And when we see someone who is articulate, genuine, engaging and an effective communicator we think they must have a rare, magical talent.
They don’t.
They’ve simply taken the time to develop the SKILL of speaking.
The skill of messaging.
And the skill of connecting.
They’ve mastered the essential skills of speaking.
In Speaking Essentials I’ve stripped back the Signature Impactful Presenters Program to the most foundational of elements, leaving you with, yep, you guessed it, the essentials.
Just the essentials.
The core foundations that those effective leaders you admire lean on when
so you can focus on what you want to say instead of 'how' you should be saying it, and prepare easily.
that establishes your authority and credibility so your audience WANTS to hear what you have to say (and helps overcome your Imposter Syndrome)
so you can wow your audience and land your key messages with just a few minutes of prep and just a couple of 'napkin notes'
so you don't have to fear those 'dreaded questions' anymore and artfully use your audience's contribution to build on your key messages
and not some weird professional-robot persona you take on when you speak 'formally'
so you can lead your team, influence decisions, grow your business, change hearts, minds and behaviours and make a positive impact in your community

You know how some people weave their stories of expertise throughout their conversations ... they simply oooze their credibility without bragging?
They've mastered what I call their 'Earn-The-Right' ... how we craft and use stories to illustrate our professional biography.
By the end of this mini-course, you'll do that too!
Speaking with confidence, authority and impact is a skill set that you keep working on and keep improving over time.
Also, 'life happens' and there'll be modules you don't get to dive into as deeply as others and you'll want to return to them. So, I'm offering lifetime access so you can get started NOW (and not wait for that 'perfect' time).
If you're on the fence, or if you're skeptical (about this program or your abilities) ... then I want to give you EVERY opportunity to put Speaking Essentials into action and discover that, once you know how, speaking with confidence is a skill that EVERYONE can learn.
So, dive into the program. Watch the videos, try on the frameworks ... and if it's not your thing, let me know and I'll refund your money.
Simple.
I'm so confident that if you implement just a fraction of the lessons you'll be blown away by your ability to speak, lead, inform, influence ... and ultimately make your dent in the universe.
You quite literally have nothing to lose ... and a host of opportunities to gain.

I use it ALL THE TIME to explain what I do and how I can add value"

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

Hi 👋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.
And the bulk of my career has been in ‘professional circles’; business coaching, facilitating meetings with a range of stakeholders, moderating panel events, delivering keynote speeches and leadership roles in the public service.
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.

"I am much calmer and clearer when I talk now.
I have slowed down my thoughts and speed of talking and people are able to follow my conversation.
Before, I used to bombard them with so much info and talk so quickly my business partner would have to step in and explain.
Now I’m being invited to speak on industry panels and am recognised as an industry leader."
Julia Van Der Sommen
Director at Sample Room & Pattern Room
"Phwoar! That was the best webinar I've ever run.
It was 90 minutes long ... And 126 of the 128 participants were still online AND ENGAGED at the very end.
I've never been short for words, but this program has REALLY improved my delivery and impact."

Are you being over looked for promotions because you're not as confident a speaker as your peers?
How many clients are you missing out on because your sales pitches are inconsistent and less-than-impactful?
Do you feel like you are constantly banging your head against a brick wall, feeling like you're not 'getting through' to people the value, or urgency, of your priorities?
Do you feel like you're just not quite reaching your potential, you have some much you want to contribute you just can't quite get to the 'next level'?

+ BONUS Earn The Right Mini Course
More than 20 bite-size professionally-produced videos to teach you the techniques and frameworks AND SHOW you how the techniques work.
All video lessons available as podcast tracks too (so you can learn while doing other things).
These video lessons give you EVERYTHING I know about speaking, presenting and facilitation ... all the techniques I use EVERYDAY for impact.
Embody your new skills with (optional) homework tasks that relate to your work. Submit videos of your homework presentations for feedback, coaching and personalised support.
Hang out with like-minded professionals, entrepreneurs and change makers who also have a message of change. Ask questions, brainstorm your work presentations, discover new techniques or just be inspired by others.
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.
Speaking Essentials 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 ANYTIIME. It's always with you.
Oh, and you'll have the benefit of community accountability, momentum and 'working-out-loud learnings' from the Impactful Presenters online community .... so you'll make real progress quickly and easily.
The program is structured into modules which are broken up into:
So if you already listen to podcasts, watch online content or wonder why you're scrolling mindlessly, you can easily make your way through the content at your pace and get HUGE value from this program. And radically improve your speaking abilities.
Nope! The program is entirely self-paced. Watch or listen when it suits you.
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.
Yes it's self-paced and yes, you can access the whole program at once. You will need to complete the first two compulsory foundation modules before you can get into the more advanced topics.
You have LIFETIME access to the course videos.
Speaking Essentials takes the first 4 'foundation' modules of the Signature Impactful Presenters Program and 'loses' the modules more suited for larger audiences, conference stages and facilitation tools.

"I learned about speaking to the full stops! That slowed me down A LOT.
I also delivered a LOT LESS content in my last workshop, but I got a better result in terms of enrolments."
