Hear your talk before they do.
The pitch, the status update, the toast you keep putting off. Say it out loud, play it back, and get a read that catches every filler, slip and buried point.
You rehearsed the slides
Most rehearsal is silent: reading the deck, running it in your head. Out loud, the point arrives late, the figures come out tangled and the “so” and “basically” multiply.
The first time you hear that shouldn’t be in front of the room.
Start with what’s in your calendar
Explain your field to a sixteen-year-old
No jargon survives contact with a sixteen-year-old. Good.
- Bring your own
- The talk on Thursday, the update on Monday, or the answer you keep fumbling.
- Talk about a topic
- More than 100 cue cards, for when you simply want the practice.
- Take a path
- A short run of takes towards one goal, such as Your first year managing or Get paid what you are worth.
Hear it before anyone else does
Listen back on your own device as many times as you like before you send it for a read. Your voice is never kept.
A read that quotes your best lines
The read scores how you said it, the words you chose and what you actually said, and it quotes the lines that did the work.
Every filler is counted and every slip is shown in your own words, so nothing is marked without evidence.
“So, basically, the launch moved. We ship on the ninth, and the one risk is the payments review.”
- LandedThe date and the risk, in one breath.
- ChangeCut “so, basically”. It was filling a gap, not doing a job.

Then hear it done well
After your take, ask for an example response. Rosby shows you a stronger version of your own talk, with the phrases worth keeping.
“We ship on the ninth. One risk: the payments review, and it clears on the fifth. If it slips, I’ll tell you that day.”
