But I Want To Fly! — The Invisible Strategy Every Speaker Needs For Takeoff

There’s a powerful dimension of speaking that goes beyond content, stories, and delivery: your energy. Not your energy level, but the signal you bring into every room before you say a word. Through story, science, and a live telling of But I Want To Fly!, Michelle Villalobos, CSP reveals why energy is more than a vibe—it’s a strategy—and how to create a presence that audiences can feel, trust, and follow.

You’ll learn:

The science of how your emotional state shapes your audience's experience

A science-backed practice to shift your state in minutes – usable with any audience

Practice elevating your pre-stage energy so you walk on already coherent

How to read and lift a flat or resistant room

What to do when you're depleted, nervous, or the audience energy just "isn't there"
