I’m serious about making communicating with confidence, fun.
The secret to being a powerful communicator — the kind that makes people rethink how they perceive something or inspires them to reach higher — is confidence.
But confidence is tricky, isn’t it?
To be confident in something, you must first lack confidence in it.
I know something about lacking confidence, especially in communication.
I grew up between two cultures — Mexican and American. I learned the language, traditions, and family heritage of both at the same time. It was an incredible way to learn about the world from different perspectives, and, as a kid, I saw joy and possibility in everything!
It also came with confusion and struggles.
As I grew older, I felt firsthand the rejection and ridicule that came with being different, consistently pulled by the expectations of both cultures. I quickly understood that not having the “right” words, the same knowledge as everyone else, or the ability to say what I wanted to meant being an outcast.
I learned that, to stay safe, I needed to stay silent.
I changed from a confident, communicative kid to one who would suppress his thoughts and feelings out of a crippling fear of being judged.
That was until high school, when an unexpected — and fortunate — series of events led me to join the speech and debate team.
I learned that what scares us most is what grows us most.
I learned that what grows us is not running away from the uncomfortable, but running toward it.
I learned that transforming fears into fuel is the key to building confidence.
And I know how to make it fun.
I’ll teach you how to stretch your comfort zone in a safe, impactful, and transformative way, all while experiencing the joy of speaking up your story.
Because, you know what else is fun?
- Inspiring and teaching audiences to reach their greatest desires
- Authentic connection and communication with our teams
- Transforming prospects into clients and exceeding your goals
- Building lasting confidence and self-trust
You’re too inspiring to let your fears determine your success.
Join me in speaking up with confidence. And together, we’ll transform your fear into fuel.
