For Helm Members (founders) Only!

Join us for an immersive masterclass with Terry Szuplat, former White House speechwriter to President Barack Obama and author of Say It Well: Find Your Voice, Speak Your Mind, Inspire Any Audience.

This is not just a talk. It’s a hands-on session designed to change how you communicate.

Drawing on his years inside the Obama White House and the frameworks from his book, Terry will teach the fundamentals of powerful communication, from getting clear on what you want to say, to building emotional connection, to showing up with confidence when the stakes are high.

What you’ll gain:

You’ll leave with practical tools you can apply immediately, including how to:

• Communicate clearly and persuasively in meetings, pitches, and presentations
• Structure a message so people actually remember it
• Use storytelling to earn attention, trust, and buy in
• Manage nerves and pressure so you sound like yourself, not scripted

Who will benefit most:

This masterclass is ideal for founders and leaders who:

• Regularly present, pitch, fundraise, or lead teams
• Want to speak with more authority and warmth without trying to “perform”
• Need to influence rooms where decisions are made
• Are tired of feeling nervous, vague, or over prepared when it matters

Expect concrete techniques, real examples from the highest level of leadership, and insights drawn from Terry’s personal conversations with President Obama.

The masterclass will be followed by a drinks reception, offering space to reflect, connect, and continue the conversation.
