You’re the bravest person in the room. You just don’t know it yet.
I’m Iona, founder of Brave Thing. I’m also the creator of Star Power, my speaking intensive where you write a talk in 5 weeks and deliver it at a live online showcase.
Public speaking is half sport, half art: I’m built for both:
Keynote speaker + bestselling author → I live this work
Former All-American athlete → I know pressure
Degree in journalism + master’s in advertising → I know how to shape what sticks
I love to win. But more than that, I love helping you:
Kill self-consciousness
Boost charisma
Own the room when they speak
Let’s find yours.

“So, What’s Your Talk about?”
If this questions makes you freeze, ramble, or (depending on the day) say, “I've got no idea what I'd talk about” or “I've just got too many ideas…”
I made you something.
It's the exact framework clients in my speaking intensive,Star Power,use to write the talk only they can give.
(It's the one I use for all my keynotes, too.)
It's not magic. It's not easy. But it works.
