Speaking well isn't a talent.
It's a method you can learn.
Stand Out exists because that method already works — it has for thousands of people, in boardrooms and lecture halls across the country. We're making it something you can practise any day of the week, not only when there's a room to stand in front of.
Four things Barry listens for.
Speak with Impact is a rubric, not a mood. Every lesson, every practice session and every score comes back to these four.
Impactful Structure
- Clear headline or conclusion
- Relevant main points
- Supporting evidence or explanation
- Clear close, takeaway, question, or call to action
Compelling Delivery
- Ideas delivered in clear bursts
- Purposeful silent pauses
- Brisk but controlled pace
- Thoughtful, not rushed
Commanding Eye Contact
- Steady audience connection
- Eye contact at the start of ideas
- Eye contact after delivering ideas
- Relaxed, conversational presence
Staying on Message
- Focus on the core message
- Limited drifting or unnecessary detail
- Ideas aligned to the intended structure
- Speaking from ideas, not reading sentences
A coach with the method. A builder who needed it.
Barry supplies seventeen years of coaching; Michael turns it into something you can practise on a Tuesday night.
Michael Jordan Sablay
Manager, Office of Generative AI at Deloitte
Michael Jordan leads the Value Analytics and AI adoption strategy inside Deloitte's Office of Generative AI, where he helped build the enablement programme now reaching roughly 15,000 professionals across Canada and Chile. Eight years of delivering $500M+ enterprise transformations taught him that the work turns on something no system handles for you: holding a room, briefing an executive, making a complicated thing land. He teaches that skill too with over 10 leadership programmes at Deloitte University for 250+ consultants, and six professionals he coaches directly. He's building Stand Out so the practice that used to require a room full of people is available to anyone, any time.
