Since joining the community, my public speaking skills have improved significantly. I highly recommend the community for anyone wants to improve his public speaking skill and succeed in life.
Marawan
There's this wonderful connective energy where we support and uplift each other, helping us all improve significantly.
Eileen
The community is so warm, welcoming, safe, that I don't mind making mistakes in the community, because we all are in the same boat headed to the same destination.
Jatin
All of it is fantastic, what truly makes this speaking academy stand out is Yasir himself.
Lorena
He introduces new challenges, and I'm actively involved. I never thought I would have the opportunity to ask a direct question to a world champion of public speaking among the guest speakers.
Jane
So if you want to excel in public speaking, if you want to change your life, this is the best community you can ask for.

Is this a course?No, this is not a course. It's a monthly recurring membership that is billed every month. Think of it like a 'gym' but for your public speaking and communication skills. There is no start/end date. The goal is to continuously improve your skills the longer your stay a part of the community.
-
How are the practice classes structured?You join the class, the facilitator gives instructions, you are then put into groups where each person practices their speech and gets feedback from the others. After the call, you post any questions you have in the group and the coaches will help you with those questions. There are 4-5 people in each breakout room.
-
What time are the practice classes and how long are they?Every Thursday at 9:30 AM, 12:00 PM EST and 7:30 PM EST. We have found these timezones tend to fit most places in the world. Calls are 60 minutes each. These calls are only for practicing, We take questions in the community and answer them separately. Orientation will be on Tuesday, the 11th of June at 2PM - that’s when we’ll officially kick-off the membership. If you can’t make it, don’t worry, you can catch the recording and you’ll be up to speed.
-
Will the calls be recorded?The expert trainings are recorded, the beginning and endings of the live practice calls are recorded but not the breakout rooms.
-
Do I have to turn on my video?You don’t have to. You can keep your video off as long as you recognize that you won’t be able to receive any feedback on your body language.
-
Will I improve my speaking?100%. The only way you won’t improve is if you don’t show up to any of the classes, never engage with the community, and don’t apply the feedback you’re given. You will improve through the following methods: a) Practice -You will improve your speaking skills by practicing on calls and getting feedback b) Feedback - You will become more aware of what to look for in your own speaking skills when you give others feedback c) Information - You will learn from the monthly experts who will share industry-leading . Just like it’s impossible to go to French class and not learn French, it’s impossible to join our classes and not become a better speaker.
-
Is there a commitment?No commitment whatsoever. Join and leave as you please. My goal is to make this such a beneficial community that you want to stay month after month. That being said, just like with going to the gym, it’s hard to see lasting changes in only a few weeks. I would encourage you to stay as long as you’re improving. The biggest mistake people make is they make initial progress, then they leave thinking they’ve learned everything. Then they become rusty and lose all their progress very quickly. I suggest if you can’t commit to at least 90 days, joining for just one probably isn’t the best idea. Do note: If you leave and join back later when membership opens again, the price will be $99/month.
-
Will I get personal coaching?It’s important to note that this is a community platform, not a coaching program. We have 2 calls a month where you can jump on, speak for a few minutes and get feedback from a coach, You will also get feedback from other community members through the live calls, and the community where you can post your speech videos and request feedback. Yasir’s team will answer any specific questions you have about your situation. Here’s the process: a-You practice on the zoom calls, b-Find areas that need improvement, c-Ask the team and the community sticking points, d-The team gives you recommendations to improve, e-You implement it in your next practice. f-You see improvement, and progress. If you need 1:1 personalized coaching, this won't be the best fit
-
What happens after I join The Speaking Academy Pro?You will be taken to the community platform where you’ll be given shown on how to join the calls, watch all the bonus trainings, and begin improving your speaking skills immediately. We will have a program orientation on June 11th at 2PM EST(Recorded) where we officially kick-off the program.
-
What does it cost per month?This program used to be $2,500/month and was only targeted for C-Suite executives. My goal is to make the best community for communication skills in the world. A community you would want to tell your friends to join. By joining the waitlist, you can get access to the membership for only $56/month, Once I implement all your feedback and improve the community, the price will go up to $99/month for new members joining, but you will retain your founding member rate of $56/month for as long as you stay a member.
-
What if I need more personal 1 to 1 attentionThis program is designed to give the best possible training for the most affordable price. If at any time you feel you want 1 on 1 attention with a coach on the team, you will have the option of purchasing a session or a package separately. Majority of our members do not need this unless they have a specific presentation or speech they need immediate help with.
-
What is the cancelation and refund policy?We do not offer refunds or an option to pause the membership. You can cancel the membership at anytime. Our members take responsibility for their commitments, regardless of engagement. If members join the membership, it is their personal responsibility to attend the classes and cancel their subscription if needed.
-
Why do you only take on a limited amount of members?When we have 50+ new people joining, it’s important to make sure they all have a good experience. It’s difficult for us to continually accept new members and also give everyone a good experience. Once enrolment closes, it’s closed for the rest of the year.
-
How much time do I need each week?It can be as little as 5 minutes a week or 5 hours a week. You can put as much time in as you would like. Some members can’t attend the calls so they post practice videos each week and have seen remarkable progress. Others only rewatch the training videos and have been able to implement it at work. We want to give you the option to be a part of the membership in whatever way you like.
