SPEAC Framework™
SPEAC™ (Strategize, Prepare, Elevate, Articulate, Connect) is more than a framework. It’s a powerful approach to communication that helps you own your voice and share it with passion, purpose and perspective.
​
Whether you're stepping on stage, speaking up in a meeting or having a meaningful one-on-one, the SPEAC Framework gives you the tools to show up confidently, connect authentically and communicate in a way that builds trust, moves people and opens doors.​
1
STRATEGIZE
You wouldn’t launch a business without a plan. High-stakes communication deserves the same level of strategy. Before you say a word, you need to get clear on the why, who and what. This stage is all about intention. Who are you speaking to? Why are you speaking to them? What do you want them to walk away with—or better yet, do? And what’s the one core message that anchors it all? When you take the time to Strategize, you create alignment between your purpose, your audience and your message. That’s how you stop winging it and start communicating with real clarity and impact.
2
PREPARE
Once your strategy is clear, it’s time to get to work. Prepare is where you gather what you need to bring your message to life. This stage includes researching your topic, finding relevant data or stories, and building out the structure that will guide your delivery. Think of it as creating your roadmap—your talking points, your flow, your supporting material—so you’re not just prepared, you’re grounded. Strong preparation gives you something even more important than polish: confidence. Because when you know your material, you can focus less on remembering what to say and more on how you want to say it.
3
ELEVATE
Elevate is where your message starts to sound like you. This is where you take your strategy and structure and bring it to life with your passion, purpose and perspective. It’s not just about telling people what you know. It’s about showing them. That means adding your stories, experiences and testimonials to create moments that help your message land and stick. This is how you stand out and truly connect. When you Elevate, you’re making your message memorable. You use imagery, storytelling and language that paints a picture. You don’t just inform. You inspire. And you do it in a way that’s real, relatable and all your own.
4
ARTICULATE
This is where your message meets the moment. Articulate is about how you deliver—not just through your words, but through your voice, body language and presence. It’s not about mimicking someone else’s style. It’s about showing up as the most confident, polished and authentic version of you. This is where you fine-tune your verbal, vocal and nonverbal delivery: tone, pacing, eye contact, movement, posture and the energy you bring into the room. Whether you're presenting to a group, leading a meeting or having a tough conversation, strong articulation ensures your message comes through clearly and confidently.
5
CONNECT
Connection is the outcome of SPEACing Success. When you’ve done the work—when you’ve strategized, prepared, elevated and articulated with intention and authenticity—connection becomes inevitable. This final step is where everything clicks. Whether you’re speaking to an audience of 1,000 or one, real connection happens when your message reaches people both emotionally and intellectually. That’s what moves them. That’s what builds trust. That’s what opens the door to lasting impact. To Connect is to listen deeply, respond with empathy and stay present to the moment. It’s not about being perfect—it’s about being real. Because when people feel you, they hear you.
You’ve got the message. We’ll help you SPEAC it.

THE POWER OF CONNECTION
Public speaking is a crucial skill for any professional. Whether you're an entrepreneur, corporate leader, sales expert or consultant, being able to effectively communicate is important.
Public speaking allows you to connect with clients, partners, referral sources and employees, among others.
And that connection is the key to your success!
The problem is, most people would prefer death to public speaking (it's a statistical fact). Beyond that, public speaking is more than just getting up in front of people and talking — it requires strategy, skill and practice.
Whether you're an experienced public speaker who is looking to fine tune your skills, a novice interested in learning the art of public speaking, or somewhere in between - Shannon can help you connect with your audience so that you can accomplish your goals to motivate, educate, persuade and inspire!
