A Transformative Presentation Camp for Shy Creatives

A 2-week virtual camp to gain speaking confidence by embracing imperfect presentations.

This is for you if…

  • You feel good about your creative skills BUT you still can’t speak in front of others without feeling lots of anxiety and stress

  • You want to inspire and mentor others but you’re holding yourself back because you’re scared to be judged

  • You want to ACTUALLY enjoy speaking in front of other people

Why Perfectionism is Holding You Back

Perfectionism may helped your career so far, but now it might be the very thing holding you back from sharing ideas more boldly, having more influence and being an inspiration to others!

Being hard on yourself takes a big FAT TOLL on your happiness.

When you're all hung up on looking perfect, you miss out on the joy of speaking.

Being influential & inspirational means that you actually have to enjoy speaking in front of others.

The reason it’s so hard to enjoy speaking now is…Pefectionism! Self-pressure! Feeling judged!

The way to start ENJOYING speaking is by having a safe space to LET go of the pressure. This is exactly what I’m offering in this camp. That’s why we are focusing on the opposite of perfection, embracing the ugly.

It will be liberating, empowering, and will opens doors to your highest potential. You don’t want to miss out on this opportunity! I most likely won’t host this again.

The Camp Experience

  • Live Campfire Chats

    🚀 Join me for a series of dynamic live talks designed to help you break free from the chains of perfectionism. We’ll explore strategies to fully embrace imperfection & cultivate self-compassion.

  • Present the Ugly

    💫 Healing begins when we drop the illusion of rigid presentation standards. Embrace quirks, showcase ugly & raw creativity, and breaking free from traditional presenting. No stakeholders or users to design for. IT’S ALL JUST FOR YOUR OWN DAMN JOY!

  • Community

    You will have access to the Slack channel where I make fun announcements and to keep in contact with fellow campers. You’ll upload designs and presentations for the community to enjoy! This is a great option if you can’t make all live sessions.

  • Summer Bash Party

    We will end our experience with a party! I’ll have a special guest join us for commentary on some of the fun & ugly designs from the week. A few people will share their presentations to the full group and we will end with some ugly dance moves…if you dare. :)

Camp Opening Ceremony - Tue, August 22nd 10am PST/1pm EST

We'll cover camp rules like 'NO GOOD DESIGNS ALLOWED!' In this session, we'll take on the challenge of designing the world's ugliest design, not just because it’s fun as fuck, but also as a liberating journey for the inner creative who feels chained down by perfectionism.

Day 2

Healing the Perfectionist - Thurs August 24th 10am PST/1pm EST

During this interactive workshop, we will delve into the origins of perfectionism, it's beneficial aspects, and the detrimental effects it may have on our career growth. Be prepared to leave this workshop with a whole new perspective on yourself and what it means to be an influential speaker.

Day 3

Sharing Presentations Tue August 29th 10am PST/1pm EST

Share your butt-ugly presentations on this special day where fucks ups and mistakes are celebrated!!! If you can’t attend live, you can share it on our community Slack. If you’re not ready to share with others, you’ll also learn how to be an effective listener and why this is crucial to being a good speaker.

Day 4

Summer Bash Dance Party - Thurs August 31st 10am PST/1pm EST

We will have a live celebration of all the ugliness shared from the 2 weeks. A few campers will share their presentations live with the full group.
