We're grateful when leaders take the time to share their experience with Speakeasy. Here's what RJ Ulrich, Sr. Director of Talent Management at Primo Brands, had to say:

“Before recommending Speakeasy more broadly within my organization, I wanted to experience the program myself so I could confidently stand behind it. What stood out right away was how practical and personal it was. I came away with a much clearer understanding of how things like pacing, eye contact, hand gestures and body language affect whether people stay engaged with what you’re saying.

What made the biggest difference was the experiential format and Jorge Luis Barría Ponce's coaching. He created an environment where people could let their guard down, get honest feedback and make meaningful changes quickly. I’ve used what I learned in presentations at work, in coaching conversations and even in personal situations outside of work.

From a talent management perspective, that’s what makes this so valuable. It’s not just about presentation skills. It helps leaders communicate in a way that is clearer, more engaging and more effective, and those small shifts can have a real impact across teams and organizations.”

"Just be yourself" is where most authenticity advice stops. This goes a little further.

You can't fake authenticity, but you also can't stay locked into one version of yourself. As you grow, what feels authentic grows with you. And part of it is being honest about what the moment and the audience actually call for.

Speakeasy’s faculty explain why authenticity is less fixed than people assume.

"I'm deathly afraid of speaking to large groups of people."

James Sandoval has launched businesses, managed major budgets, moved across the world to build something new. He's not someone who backs down from hard things. But put him in front of a room? Different story. He dreaded every second—and left feeling like he'd let himself (and the audience) down.

A few days with Speakeasy faculty member Daniel Frysh didn't fix everything overnight, but something shifted. He started leading AI coding hackathons—groups of 10, then 40—and actually felt present. Like himself, but clearer.

He calls himself a late bloomer. We just think he finally had the right space to grow into what was already there.

If you've been putting off investing in your communication development, James's take is simple: "It's not easy, but it's so worth it."

AI gives you a base. It doesn't give you a point of view.

Trust, compassion, stability, hope: people need those from a leader before they'll follow, and no amount of polish on the page supplies them. Your tone and your perspective still have to come from you.

AI can help your team move faster. It still can't read hesitation in a room or earn trust in a hard moment.

When you introduce change or explain where AI fits, people need more than information. They need context and a reason to move.

That's a leadership moment, and it's the work we do.

"When you’re communicating, it's not about perfection, it's about connection."

For any leader worried their own voice can't hold up next to AI-generated polish, that's the reframe.

"You ground yourself, you take your pause, you use that pause to recalibrate and then move forward."

Luki Martino, Enterprise Account Executive, on what stayed with her after Communicate to Drive Results.

Most senior communicators are strong on familiar ground. The test is what happens when a question lands outside it.

Luki's answer is a habit she can run in the moment, in a client meeting or a conversation that has nothing to do with work.

Every leader is working out where AI ends and their own judgment begins.

Three of our faculty name the lines they won't cross. AI gets you started, but the editing, the fact-checking and the hard conversations still belong to you.

AI can help you draft. It can't make you sound like you.

Employees and clients feel when a message didn't come from you, and once it reads as lifted off a platform, the trust is gone.

Use AI. Just keep your judgment in front of it.

Leaders keep telling us they need to move faster. They call it ex*****on velocity.

Most of the time, the thing slowing them down isn't the plan. The decision gets made. It just doesn't travel well. It reaches the team half-explained, people take it different ways, and the work stalls while everyone sorts out what was actually meant.

Speed depends on people understanding each other well enough to act without circling back. When a leader can make a decision land clearly, the organization moves. When they can't, the delay shows up later and costs more.

This is where Speakeasy comes in. We help leaders communicate so decisions move, not stall.
