✨ Should You Attend?

• Have you ever thought: "I'm not ready yet." "I need more confidence?"
• Do you want confidence without critique-heavy coaching? 
• If speaking is on your 'someday' list, this is how it becomes this year! 

Monthly peer sessions based on our 6-month access to The Speaker's Soundcheck Audio Vault: Weekly pep-talks, clarity boosts, mindset resets, and communication strategies delivered to your inbox. By September, you will be more confident, more grounded, and more willing to say 'yes' to speaking.

Think of a SIG as a club within the club.  It’s a small, trusted group where you show up consistently, share ideas, make mistakes, and grow together. Pick one or two SIGs this year, commit to the journey, and experience what real connection and learning inside ATDCFL feels like.

SIGs work because they’re built on consistency, trust, and shared purpose. When the same people show up month after month, conversations go deeper, feedback gets better, and learning turns into real progress. By committing to one or two SIGs, you’re not just attending meetings; you are investing in a community that supports your growth, challenges your thinking, and helps you move forward faster than going it alone. That’s where the real value of a SIG lives.
