About the Author: Mary Cheyne
Mary began her career as a socially awkward computer programmer who hid behind her desk because she was too self-conscious.
But today, as a World Champion of Public Speaking first runner-up, out of 35,000 contestants from 14 countries, she is proof that transformation is possible.
How did she get there?
By understanding that becoming GREAT at public speaking isn’t just about the techniques of how to be a good speaker, rather it starts with discovering how to trust yourself first.
Especially how to embrace the yin and yang of your feminine and masculine energy that allows you to show up powerfully in your communication and presentation, even in situations that would typically feel intimidating.
Guided by this Zen philosophy, Mary created processes to help women communicate in a way where they feel seen, heard, valued, and respected by those they are speaking with.
Through her training and coaching, she has taught this curriculum to over 30,000 people in over 30 cities internationally.
This has allowed her to powerfully serve her mission of developing heart-centered, confident women who lead with empathy, not ego.
Her unique approach to presenting is what got Mary invited to speak on a TEDx stage.
The video of her talk currently has over 500,000 views.
Mary is also the best-selling author of the book “Present Yourself in Public Speaking – Tell Your Inner Critic to SHUT UP! And the Real You to SPEAK UP!”.
Two fun facts about Mary are: She holds a karate black belt rank and plays the ukulele.
