What It Is

Speak With Confidence is a leadership communication education resource platform launched by The Speech Improvement Company (TSIC), a U.S.-based communication coaching company with more than 50 years of history. It is not a traditional self-paced online course website. Instead, it serves as an entry point for practical communication coaching and training services for executives and teams, built around the core framework of the book Mastering Communication at Work.

Core Dimensions

• Course Focus: Specializes in leadership communication and executive speaking, covering high-value business scenarios such as high-pressure presentations, meeting facilitation, conflict resolution, and delegation communication.
• Format and Instructors: Offers 1-on-1 executive coaching, team workshops, short-term intensive programs (1–3 week sprints), and customized corporate services. The instructional team has deep expertise and is led by TSIC President and third-generation communication coach Ethan Becker, along with Jon Wortmann. The training is based on their original “six core skills”: matching audience preferences, managing credibility, speaking to motivation, building structure, practicing effective empathy, and using storytelling.
• Best For: Ranges from new managers to Fortune 500 executives, especially leaders facing high-pressure situations such as board presentations, fundraising roadshows, and media interviews, as well as cross-functional teams that need a unified communication language.

Pricing

The website does not disclose any specific pricing or package information. All services require consultation through the main site and are quoted on a customized basis, making the entry threshold relatively high.

Pros and Cons

• Pros: Extremely practice-oriented, with coaching built directly around clients’ real business agendas, such as upcoming board meetings; the methodology has been validated over 50 years and is not abstract theory; provides complete solutions ranging from individual coaching to organization-wide programs.
• Cons: Lacks standardized self-paced online courses, so you cannot purchase and start learning immediately; pricing is highly opaque; no certification is provided.

Who It’s For

Best suited for corporate executives with sufficient budgets who are facing critical communication challenges, such as IPO roadshows or crisis PR, as well as core teams with low communication efficiency that urgently need to establish a unified communication operating system.
