Stories from Eric Edmeades’s students

From Invisible to Unmesswithable: My Speaking & Influence Mastery Story I'm a two-time valedictorian from Liberia who skipped one graduation and attempted to skip the other. The reason? A stutter. The very thing I needed most-my voice-would abandon me at the worst moments. For 17 years, I had ideas. Manuscripts…

I came to Mindvalley because I wanted to improve my social media results for my fine jewelry brand, Lisa Robin Jewelry. What surprised me was that Mindvalley didn't just change my business-it reshaped who I am as a creator, as a leader, and as a woman preparing for the next chapter of her life. Social Media Mastery…

In the midst of taking Speaking and Influence Mastery, I came very close to dying. Early September, I was celebrating the upcoming arrival of a new baby in our cul-de-sac. Days later, COVID hit. Then the rebound. Then pneumonia. But something still wasn't right; I kept getting worse. After two ER visits, I was finally…

Before taking the Speaking & Influence Mastery class, little did I know, I was preparing for one of the biggest milestones of my life- I was about to become an international best-selling author… but I wasn't doing it alone. I was leading 22 other women to become best-selling authors too, through a deeply personal…

Voice of Impact: 5,012 Miles Outside My Comfort Zone "They say riding a bike is something you never forget… Lies. Absolute lies." I relearned that the hard way - in Amsterdam, 5,012 miles from home, flat on the ground with a bruised knee and a very confused Dutch man staring at me. It was my first solo trip out of the…

How Speak and Inspire Helped Me Find My Voice When I joined Speak and Inspire Mastery, I thought I was there to polish my professional skills. I wanted to feel more confident during my weekly BNI presentations and nail my 10-minute feature. But I also gained storytelling skills that helped me connect more deeply with…

My father passed away a few weeks ago. Although I had prepared a typed speech, I decided after 5 minutes to go with the way of speaking that Eric Edmeades had taught us in this class. I dropped my papers, took a deep breath, and looked out into the audience of friends and loved ones assembled for his funeral. And I…

My intention when I enrolled in Mindvalley's Speaking & Influence Mastery with Eric Edmeades, was to "polish" my speaking skills. What I did not realize was that I was about to undergo a full-scale evolution-not just as a speaker, but as a communicator, a leader, and as a person. I spoke the way I was trained: clear…

How Light Language Created a Legacy. The first time I spoke it, I sounded like someone had mixed Sanskrit with a spaceship transmission. I half-expected my neighbors to call NASA. But the strangest thing happened-every syllable vibrated through me like memory. Weird? Completely. Sacred? Absolutely. That one moment…

Before this program, I never imagined that a 10-minute presentation could shift a company culture. I deeply care about DIB work, but struggled to make it feel relevant in a business environment where it was often deprioritized. Through Speaking & Influencing Mastery, I learned how to craft a story that not only moved…

Before I stepped into the Mindvalley Speaking & Influence Mastery program, my speaking world felt small. I had a few opportunities here and there, but every time I stood on a stage, I could feel my nerves take over. I tried so hard to memorize every word that I would lose the connection with myself-and with the…

Before joining the Speaking and Influencing Mastery program, I shared knowledge-but not my voice. I hid behind other people's teachings, feeling safer echoing what I had learned rather than speaking from my own truth. Deep inside, I knew I had stories worth telling, but insecurity held me back. My voice felt small, my…
