Stories from Eric Edmeades’s students

Hero Story - From Silenced to Stage Before Speaking & Influence Mastery, I was already a senior RAF Wing Commander and published author… but I was still hiding in plain sight. I could brief, present, and "do PowerPoint", yet my true story... nine Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), breaking generational abuse…

I always felt like I had charisma, but I couldn't show it. not on stage, not on social media, and not in my business. As an entrepreneur, the biggest gap was sales: I couldn't confidently sell or influence, even when what I was offering genuinely helped people. I simply didn't know how to express myself in a way that…

A few weeks ago I walked off stage after speaking to around five hundred people. I had no intention of "selling" anything. I simply told the truth, shared a piece of my journey, and wove my book into the leadership lesson. Classic inception. The Mindvalley playbook works when you actually apply it. People cried. People…

For years I had spoken in academic settings with ease, yet I knew I wanted to grow beyond that world. I wanted to shape talks that could reach wider audiences, from TEDx to corporate stages, and I wanted to do it with authenticity rather than performance anxiety.

The work has pushed me past old limits, and I'm more confident in my voice than I've ever been. I'm not just speaking more clearly - I'm speaking as myself. That confidence has carried…

Before this course, I was confident speaking on stage about business topics, and could easily explain insights, speak clearly and even bring humour in. But I'd never really seen emotional expression as something that was available to me in my own storytelling. Perhaps I didn't want to wake up to how much impact it…

I was a healthcare and longevity entrepreneur with many powerful stories - from my own health journey to building clinics. But before taking Speaking and Influence Mastery, I wasn't great at telling them. I could talk about my biological age test or my protocols, yet I couldn't articulate these stories in a way that…

Before embarking on the Speaking & Influence Mastery course by Mindvalley, I saw myself as a shy and introverted individual, a belief that held me back from reaching my full potential.
