What We Believe
We believe that a speech has the power to change the world and the people in it—including the speaker.
What We Do
Heroic Public Speaking helps speakers with transformational ideas leverage the power of performance to move audiences (and themselves) to think, feel, and act differently. Simply put, we help speakers deliver best in class performances so their ideas take hold and spread.
Who We Do It For
What We’ve Built
Heroic Public Speaking is considered by many to be the preeminent keynote speaker training company in the world. We're a small company with headquarters in Lambertville, NJ, and were founded by a husband and wife team.
Who We Hire
It's easy to say we care … but we really do. We know that no one is perfect and that non-traditional hires are often the best hires. In fact, most of the people working at Heroic Public Speaking, including the founders, currently do something different than they did in their previous jobs or what they were originally trained to do. Bottom line: we want you if you produce results, and we want you to be happy while doing it.
We need a Project Manager who can gracefully and effectively manage the lifecycle of a project, including (but not limited to) the people working on it, the work being done, and the outcome produced.
If you’ve got the chops and you want to use your skills for good by driving outcomes for an organization that shares your same core values, then look no further than Heroic Public Speaking. (It also helps that our services really are that good, and people really do rave about them. Just sayin’.)
We have some goals, and we need your help. They’re achievable and, since you love a good challenge, you’ll be over the moon when we achieve them together. We know it matters to you that a strong and supportive team has your back even when you’re the one leading them on a project.
You’ll work closely with the co-founders, the Director of Operations, and various team members as needed to design project outcomes. Then you’ll work closely with the team to manage, execute, and complete these important projects. We’ll support, advise, nurture, encourage, and inspire you every step of the way.

In short, we need you to:
We don’t really care where you went to school or what level of education you’ve achieved. (Although, if you’ve got project management credentials and certifications, we’d love to hear about them.) We care about who you are now and how you show up in the world now. We have an intelligent and sophisticated group of people working together with shared values. However, how someone did in school, where they went to school, or what they studied isn’t the first thing we consider when making our hiring decisions.
We’re a learning organization, so our most effective and successful team members are the ones most committed to learning and growing. The ones who’ll comfortably admit they don’t know something or know how to do something will say, “I don’t know but I’ll learn how.”
Salary for this position is in the range of $70,000 to $85,000, depending on experience level, plus many other valuable benefits that expand your compensation package are included (listed below). Comp packages are revisited annually at the end of the calendar year and raises are commensurate with the impact you make on the growth of the company. Note that our benefits increase your overall comp package by approximately nine percent. So, for example, if your salary is $75,000, your benefits may add another $7,000 in value to your compensation, bringing your total package closer to $82,000.
