Your Confidence Accelerator

We don't just teach you what to say. We prepare your mind and body to say it with confidence.

  • Move

    Begin each Saturday with community yoga designed to settle your nervous system, connect you to your body, and prepare you to show up fully.

  • Learn

    Develop your public speaking skills, strengthen your message, and create a compelling pitch deck that clearly communicates your value.

  • Pitch

    Practice your delivery in a supportive environment and leave prepared to confidently make the ask when opportunity knocks.

Your Accelerator Experience

Four consecutive Saturdays designed to move you from nervous and uncertain to prepared, practiced, and ready to pitch.

  • Four Saturdays: October 3, 10, 17 & 24 Three weeks of learning, building and practice—followed by a final live pitch experience.

  • Yoga + Breakfast. Included Each Saturday begins with yoga to regulate your nervous system, followed by a catered superfood breakfast before we get to work.

  • Learn. Build. Practice. PITCH. Develop your speaking skills and pitch deck during the Accelerator, then put it all together on the final Saturday and deliver your pitch before invited community and business leaders.

Move with Intention

Confidence Starts Before You Speak

Pitching isn’t just about finding the right words. Your body has to believe you’re safe enough to deliver them. That’s why each Saturday begins with an outdoor yoga practice hosted by Mindful Movement Florida, in the garden of the Dr. Carter G Woodson African American Museum. You’ll use movement, breath and mindfulness to regulate your nervous system before walking across the street into the classroom to work on your voice, your message and your pitch. No yoga experience required. Just come ready to move, breathe and show up.

FAQ

  • What if I’m terrified of public speaking?

    Then you’re exactly where you need to be. Pitch With Confidence isn’t about pretending you’re not nervous. You’ll learn practical speaking techniques and nervous-system regulation tools that help you move through the fear and communicate clearly—even when the butterflies show up.

  • Do I have to participate in yoga?

    Yoga is an intentional part of the Accelerator experience. Each Saturday begins with a community yoga practice designed to help regulate your nervous system and prepare your mind and body for the work ahead. No yoga experience is necessary, and the practice is accessible for different experience levels. The yoga-as-regulation piece is part of the program design you proposed.

  • What should I bring?

    Bring yourself, something to take notes with, water, yoga mat, and your existing pitch, if you have one. Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to participate in yoga. (Mats provided upon request.)

  • What happens if I miss a Saturday?

    Because each session builds on the previous one, participants are strongly encouraged to attend all three Saturdays. However, to qualify for pitching opportunity in the city, all sessions and coursework must be completed.

  • Do I have to live in St. Petersburg to participate?

    No. You do not have to be a St. Petersburg resident to enroll in the in-person Accelerator. Can't make it to St. Pete? Join our virtual interest list to be notified when the online experience becomes available.

Stop Saying Um

You know your business. You know your mission. But when it’s time to pitch, the “ums,” racing thoughts, shaky delivery, and uncertainty can get in the way.
