Leverage the Power of Performance.
We believe a speech has the power to change the world
and the people in it―including the speaker.
You’re an expert in your field. You have a message you want to share and you want to inspire, lead, and motivate your audience. And you’re good, maybe even really good… but you’re not good enough.
You know you have more to offer. You know you can be better, maybe even one of the best. You just don’t know how to reach your potential―yet.
Reaching your full potential and becoming a transformational speaker requires craft.
The craft of speaking isn’t something you learned in college or grad school. It's not something that can be taught by speakers who are “coaching” on the side. It’s not something you can learn just anywhere.
But you can learn it at HEROIC. You can master it at HEROIC.
We’ve taken the same techniques the most successful performers use to surprise and delight audiences and have re-engineered them specifically for speakers and presenters like you.
Our Promise
After only two days on the HEROIC Campus, you will be a better speaker. Guaranteed. At HEROIC, we keep our promises.
The Program
Professional speakers, soon-to-be professional speakers, business owners, executives, and activists travel from all over the world to attend CORE | The Breakthrough Experience, a 2-day event that includes:

The 5 Breakthroughs
CORE | The Breakthrough Experience is built on five major breakthroughs that will enhance your message and transform your performance.
The process you’ll discover applies to any and all presentations and speeches and works for thought leaders of all kinds: aspiring speakers, professional speakers, entrepreneurs, executives, and mission-driven leaders.
Each breakthrough is filled with visionary guidance and actionable steps to make your performance more inspiring, powerful, and memorable.
Time to reach your full potential and become a transformational speaker. Â
Put Your Audience First
How the most impactful speakers in the world craft transformational experiences.
Stop seeking approval and praise from your audience, and start giving them what they need. Your audience will only idolize you if you do one thing. If you’re not getting new inquiries each time you deliver your speech, you haven't figured it out… yet.
1
An Easier Way to Create Content
How master presenters and speakers rehearse so it LOOKS like they're coming up with it in the moment―yet it’s a flawless performance.
Delivering mic drop moments on stage happens during the creation stage, not after you’ve finished your slides. Craft hundreds of ground-breaking moments, using the one thing that makes it easier to generate speech content, easier to remember your speech, and easier for your audience to digest and understand.

"CORE was an immersive, magical, vulnerable, thought provoking, and transformational two days for me! It will forever change the way I present and receive information. I am so grateful to Michael, Amy, their amazing team, and my fellow CORE participants for making it such a positive experience!"
The Foundational 5
Information isn’t enough—only authentic transformation changes how people feel, think, and act.
Every single life-changing, reputation-making, ovation-worthy speech has five foundational elements. Without these transformative five, you lecture and bore. With them, you make sparks fly. Electrify the stage and give your audience the transformation they deserve.
3
Bridge The Gap
Mesmerizing storytellers steal the show, but curiosity is what hypnotizes your audience—and makes the magic happen.
Master the power of contrast, make your voice resonate, and create enchanting curiosity gaps. When you discover the simple storytelling structure that makes crafting powerful, inspirational, and engaging stories easy, you’ll captivate and fascinate your audience every time—like magic.
4
Stop Memorizing. Start Rehearsing.
A 7-step rehearsal process the masters use to deliver a best-in-class, insightful, and entertaining performance every single time.
Clicking through your slide deck the night before a gig just isn’t enough to leave your mark on any stage. To surprise and delight an audience, you need to rehearse like a performer. Implement a rehearsal process that makes actually giving your speech the easiest part of the entire process.

“Two of the most impactful days of my life”
Here's what HEROIC alumni have to say about CORE | The Breakthrough Experience.
"I recently spoke at an event with thousands of attendees and some really big-name celebrity speakers. Because of the work I did with HPS, I was named the top-rated speaker of the entire event. Their process is a game-changer and that talk has spawned five more keynotes."
Vice President of Sales, CCC Intelligent Solutions, USA Today Best-Selling Author
“I used the Foundational Five to present a new market opportunity project to our leadership team. The framework helped me focus the conversation and we got rave reviews and approval for a $50M market opportunity.”
Professional Speaker, Leadership Consultant and Author
“These two days were absolutely brilliant and well-worth anyone's time, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced pro. In HEROIC, I've found the best school to further my craft and develop expertise in the art of speaking.”
Former Navy Fighter Pilot, Speaker, Leadership Coach
“I just used what I learned from the 2-day breakthrough event to deliver a TED-style talk to a group of 200 CEOs and it was an absolute home run.”
Founder & Executive Director Women's Empowerment Catalyst, Speaker, Mentor, Entrepreneur
This experience has been utterly transformative and exciting. HEROIC is without a doubt one of the most influential choices of my professional and personal development. I am grateful for the new perspective on performing a speech vs delivering a speech you have given me. This is truly something I cannot recommend highly enough.
Creator of Marketoonist
HEROIC opened my eyes to the full craft of public speaking, particularly how the lessons from theatre (from shaping material to engaging an audience to staging to voice-work) can directly apply any sort of keynote. The CORE experience was simultaneously challenging and very accessible. Amy, Michael, and their team help make everything comfortable being uncomfortable.
President of Financial Behavior Keynote Group
The whole experience was transformational. It not only helped me learn how to be a better speaker, but it actually gave me clarity in my business and operations. I received so much clarity and focus on who I am and what I can offer to the world from this experience. It was mind-blowing.
