Speakers who are Hungry to Impact ‘N
Empower to step up and “SHINE!”
“…Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened
about shrinking so that other people won’t feel insecure around you.
We were meant to SHINE as children do.”
— Marianne Williamson
Hello… my name is Mary Cheyne.
More than ever before, individuals have the opportunity to STEP UP & SPEAK UP.
If you are ready to step out & use public speaking as a way of communicating what matters to you and create impact in an engaging, confident and authentic way, then now is time.
The SHINE MentorshipTM coaching program is designed to help exceptional people like you to achieve a level of speaking that will get you & your message noticed.
Your ability to speak from the core of who you are in a way that creates emotional impact will determine your business results, career success and personal fulfillment.
How is this program different?
The difference between SHINE MentorshipTM & other public speaking mentorship programs is that we focus not just on the mechanics of public speaking (content & delivery), but also the mindset i.e. the inner world of public speaking — what blocks you from being present and being your most powerful & confident self.
My intention is to help you dig deeper, achieve clarity, have higher self-confidence and breakthroughs in self-expression to influence your listeners to take action.
As your mentor, my promise to you is to help you connect deeper with the core of who you are, provide personalized coaching so you are super clear on what is getting in the way of your full expression, and to give you the tools to be able to communicate your message succinctly, engagingly and powerfully.
As an individual in the SHINE MentorshipTM program, you will become part of a powerful network of heart-centered, intelligent, ambitious community hungry to use speaking as a doorway to impact, while transforming into the best versions of themselves.
In this 3-month program, each exclusive group includes up to 10 hand-selected individuals, who have demonstrated their commitment to grow themselves, grow their speaking abilities and make a difference. These individuals are ACTION TAKERS, and also recognize that in order to go to the next level, they need to do something different.
We have a remarkable community of amazing SHINE mentees, who are getting fantastic results – they have created and given their signature keynote talks, they’ve given their TEDx Talks, they’re using speaking as a successful, repeatable tool to attract their ideal clients for their business, they’ve gotten breakthroughs in their self-confidence, and they no longer feel alone in their hunger to transform themselves and those they speak to. They feel supported, and nourished by this community of like-minded, like-hearted individuals.
So, go ahead and apply for a 1-on-1 call to speak with me right now if you know you have the potential for more and ready to SKYROCKET YOUR SPEAKING SUCCESS.
During our call, you will talk with me about your speaking goals, whether related to your business, career or personal passion and I’ll give you specific actionable advice about what steps you will need to take for rapid growth.
After understanding a bit more about you, what you want and how motivated you are to get there, we’ll determine what your next steps are and whether or not you qualify for one of the limited SHINE MentorshipTM spots.
If you’re already having some speaking success, or you’re ready to step up right now to have massive transformation, then go ahead and click here to schedule your SHINE MentorshipTM Discovery Call with me.
(Note: If you’re not sure if you’re ready for this program, schedule a call anyway. You may be a better fit
for another program or event and I’m happy to take the time to discover what is best for you).
Does this sound familiar?
- You are an expert at what you do & you want to use public speaking as a way of impacting & empowering more people.
- You have so much to offer, but when you’re on the stage you might lack confidence, lose your power or perhaps you’re afraid to sound too “salesy.”
- You know you have the potential to move audiences and change lives, and your sick and tired of playing small.
- You’re concerned about looking or feeling stupid when you’re asked to speak in a group setting such as a work meeting.
