Having The Speaker Lab come alongside me, hold my hand and really give me that nudge that I needed was invaluable because it just affirmed that I had a lot of the skill sets, and The Speaker Lab allowed me to scale them. I felt like The Speaker Lab affirmed to me that there are so many like-minded people at different stages of their journey. It was just nice to have that cohort of others that were walking in my shoes, and it did give me a level of comfortability to know I’m not alone...I had underestimated how much that one-on-one coaching would benefit me in terms of making sure that I checked off my list of next steps and continued moving forward because we can easily get stuck and we can sort of talk ourselves out of ultimately getting that ball down the field...I definitely feel like I’m a part of this Speaker Lab family far beyond my training."

The Speaker Lab is great!
In March, April, May, I will speak about 35 times. I just didn’t have a way to organize that before, to really kind of put myself out there with the abstract and all that, so to be organized feels really good and came as a result of the SPEAK Framework...Because of the clarity that The Speaker Lab brings, I would definitely recommend this to my buddies in ministry and to the nonprofit leaders. Get involved in this. Take this. Get involved in the SPEAK framework, and learn how to organize so that you can easily say, "This is what I bring to the table. If you want to bring me in, here’s what I’m going to talk about.”

They take your money then disappear
The free video sounds great (or you can google "what makes a great speaker" and get the same result.) Then they offer a on-one-one session for payment. You pay them - and they totally disappear. It is a SCAM. They clearly offer a service that they then fail to provide. My opinion is avoid them. Note* after posting here - suddenly they reached out to us but it was just to give us a hard sell again. No mention of bootcamp or that the account was still active, as they have stated in their response. Update. They did refund.

Hi Helen! Thanks for reaching out here. I wanted to confirm that we have issued your refund and you should receive it soon if you haven't already.
It looks like your husband, Carl, booked a free sales call with our team right before also purchasing a ticket to our paid Booked & Paid Bootcamp, which is a 2 day virtual event. Since he already had a ticket to our paid event, we cancelled your free sales call.
To be clear, your paid ticket was still active and your registration for our paid event was active until the refund was issued at your request.
I apologize for any confusion we created from our end, and we wish you the best in your speaking journey moving forward. We'll see you on stage!

The Speaker Lab is a phenomenal program...I love the way that the resources are there, and then the coaches were very helpful in helping guide me through things I need to tweak and change. A lot of times, I think a lot of individuals are in their own head. They can’t see past what they already know. Getting some real insight on what you’re doing well and what you may need to tweak in order to do better was one of the benefits I got through my time working with The Speaker Lab...To this day, I go back to the modules. I go back and do refreshers and as my business is evolving...That’s one of the beauties of the way that this content was created and administered - to allow you at multiple levels of your speaking journey, to be able to get the most out of it.

Warning: Avoid The Speaker Lab—Misleading Practices and Poor Customer Experience
SCAMMERS AND THEY DISPUTE AND TRY TO REMOVE HONEST REVIEWS. This review was removed so I’m adding it again.
I had a highly disappointing experience with The Speaker Lab due to deceptive sales practices and misleading information. Their sales representative, D, assured me that the program offered a "money-back guarantee," which he explicitly equated to a full refund if I could no longer participate. This assurance was a key factor in my decision to enroll. However, when I requested a refund after being unable to continue, the company refused to honor this guarantee, claiming it was not the same as a refund policy.
This bait-and-switch tactic is unacceptable and demonstrates a lack of integrity. Additionally, attempts to resolve the issue were met with unhelpful responses, further eroding trust in their customer service.
If you're considering The Speaker Lab, be cautious. Their sales tactics can be misleading, and their promises may not hold up when it matters most. I cannot recommend this company based on my experience.

Hi Aicha,
We’re sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with your experience at The Speaker Lab. However, we want to clarify a few key points regarding your concerns.
First, please note we do not have the power to remove reviews from Trust Pilot. Your post was removed because you violated their terms. You will have to discuss this with TP.
Our program details, including the curriculum, deliverables, and policies, were clearly outlined before your enrollment. Through our discussions, it has become evident that there was a fundamental misunderstanding on your part regarding what our program offers. The Speaker Lab is designed to help students build successful speaking businesses, not general coaching businesses. These details were fully available prior to purchase, and it is ultimately the responsibility of the purchaser to review this information before making a financial commitment.
Additionally, you engaged with the program for only one month—an insufficient amount of time to accurately assess its effectiveness. Our program includes five comprehensive modules, expert coaching, and a structured framework that has helped countless students succeed. Fully participating in the materials, coaching, and resources available is key to maximizing results.
While we understand that you may not feel the program is the right fit for you, we stand by the integrity of our sales process, curriculum, and commitment to student success. We provide complete transparency regarding our program structure, from the information shared in follow-up emails by our Enrollment Advisors to the detailed Terms & Conditions agreed to at the time of enrollment.
We encourage all prospective students to be informed consumers by thoroughly reviewing program details and asking any questions before making a decision.
Best,
The Speaker Lab Team

Build a Professional Speaking BUSINESS
I think there are a lot of great organizations out there that help people build their communication skills, be able to present well and practice the art of speaking in front of audiences. Where I think The Speaker lab is different and a great resource would be for people who want to build a speaking business because The Speaker Lab teaches you all of those concepts that I mentioned earlier, but in addition to that, gives you the very practical steps to find the right people to contact, how to send out those emails, how to make those phone calls, what to say in a gig to have that one gig turn into two and exponentially grow from that, how to price your product – All of the things that you need to build a business as a speaker and make a living doing that.

"I would recommend The Speaker Lab to people who want to speak and get their message out there, but they don’t know how to speak or what to do. I recommend those people and I’d say it’s just an amazing resource for anybody who wants to grow their speaking business...To any kids that want to speak, just remember that no matter how old or how young you are, you can make a difference."

It changed my life!
"I had Eric Rheam as my VIP Facilitator and I met with a bunch of your other great coaches, too...I learned a lot; I learned what my niche was and what I really needed to focus on. From there, I learned how to tweak my speaking skills and how to take those speaking skills and also make it a business. I learned a lot of business tools and strategies. Step by step, you had all the things that I needed, and you did it in such a profound way that it was easy to absorb, and it really was inspiring. I learned a lot and really valued everything I learned."
