SPEAK, LEAD & INFLUENCE
For mid to senior professionals in Singapore who want to be heard the way they deserve to be.
STARTS 18 JULY 2026
Saturdays 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM · 12 sessions · 15 hours · Online + In-Person Finale
Your expertise deserves a voice that matches it.
Ever done a presentation, been in a meeting, or had an important conversation where you walked away feeling, “ugh, that was not me”? You rushed it, tightened up, or over-explained (or underexplained) what you actually meant.
The worst part of it is that you knew exactly what you wanted to say before you walked in.
That disconnect between who you are and how you come across under pressure may have nothing to do with your ability. And it may be costing you more than you realise.
SPEAK, LEAD & INFLUENCE, Q3 Pod B is a 12-session public speaking course for mid to senior professionals in Singapore. It combines performance coaching with presentation skills training to address that very disconnect, not just the symptoms.
Starts 18 July 2026 · Saturdays 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM · 12 sessions · 15 hours · Online + In-Person Finale
You may have tried workshops before. Something may still feel missing.
You may have already tried workshops, videos, rehearsed more, prepared more… And when the moment arrived, the feeling was exactly the same.
That, friend, is not a preparation problem. Rather, it’s likely something quieter, like a pattern that kicks in the moment the stakes feel real. You may recognise it because it often sounds like this:
→ “I know my work, but I do not feel like I come across well when I speak.”
→ “The loudest voices get heard, even when they are not the most capable.”
→ “I either avoid speaking up, or I push myself through it.”
→ “I have attended presentation training before, but something still feels missing.”
→ “I do not feel like myself when I am presenting.”
Until you can see that pattern clearly, the skills you build may not hold when the pressure is real. That is what this programme works on first.
SOMETHING HAS TO GIVE.
Not performed ready. Not rehearsed-every-word ready.
Grounded, clear, and genuinely yourself. That version of you is three months away.
Starts 18 July 2026 · Saturdays 11:00 AM – 12:00 PM · 12 sessions · 15 hours · Online + In-Person Finale

Here’s what this programme does differently.
01
Mindset
Your internal state.
Identify the habits and responses that surface under pressure, and learn to work with them rather than be run by them.
02
Toolset
Speaking frameworks, storytelling, and structure.
Equip yourself with tools to help you organise and communicate your ideas with clarity and intention.
03
Skillset
Body language, tone, and reading your audience.
The practical layer of public speaking. When your mindset is more settled and your tools are in place, this starts to feel more natural.
12 sessions. 15 hours. Built around your schedule.
Over eight sessions, you’ll start to identify the habits and responses that surface under pressure and build the foundation that supports everything else in this programme.
Live coaching from Youyi, focused on how you speak, present, and carry yourself when it counts.
You present on a topic of your choice, receive live feedback, and may leave with a clearer sense of what more confident public speaking can feel like in practice.
Note: Session 12 is a combined session with Cohort 1.

Executive Presence & Presentation Coach · Co-founder, Inside Out Academy
Youyi spent more than a decade as a prime-time TV presenter in Singapore. At a certain point, she stepped away and enrolled in a public speaking class in New York as a student.
Her trainer asked a simple question no one had put to her in ten years: “How did you feel?” She didn’t have an answer to it. For the first time, she saw that everything she had learned had been about managing the outside. Nobody had ever asked about what was happening inside.
That moment changed her direction. She spent the following years studying the relationship between internal state and how a person comes across when speaking, and built the coaching methodology she now delivers at Inside Out Academy.
Co-founder
Accredited Nutritionist & Health Coach · Co-founder, Inside Out Academy
Julina has spent 25 years working across functional nutrition, neuroscience, and corporate performance in Singapore and the Asia-Pacific region.
One pattern came up consistently: high-performing professionals whose performance could still deteriorate when pressure arrived, despite having the skills, the experience, and the track record.
In their collaborations, she and Youyi work together where Julina builds the internal foundation and Youyi applies it directly to your public speaking practice.
Case Studies.
High Performing Manager
Daily App-Based Learning
A manager known for strong execution found that deep personal investment in the organisation made critical conversations emotionally charged, clouding strategic clarity.
Through Mental Fitness training, this leader developed a practical framework to regulate internal triggers within minutes, separate emotion from judgment, and respond with deliberate perspective.
Feedback conversations became sharper and more constructive. Stakeholder input was received strategically rather than defensively. And this manager elevated into a more composed, high-calibre leader and trusted not just for delivery, but for mature judgment and executive presence.

Newly Promoted Leader
7× Live Group Coaching
Promoted into a leadership role, this professional quickly discovered that clinical excellence did not automatically translate into managerial confidence. The shift in identity — from subject-matter expert to decision-maker — felt unfamiliar, particularly during a high-stakes restructuring requiring difficult personnel decisions.
Through Mental Fitness training, the ability to regulate stress, separate guilt from responsibility, and approach decisions with clarity replaced emotional overwhelm. The restructuring was handled with composure and integrity.
Most importantly, this leader reframed the transition internally, embracing leadership not as a burden, but as an expanded responsibility.

A few things you should know before applying.
The right course depends on what is actually holding you back.
If the issue is technique, a workshop may be enough. But if you have already tried workshops and still find yourself freezing, rushing, or not showing up as yourself under pressure, the issue may be deeper than technique.
In that case, you should absolutely consider SPEAK, LEAD & INFLUENCE, Q3 Pod B. It’ll address both the mental and communication layers together.
Most public speaking courses start with the outside: how you stand, how you breathe, how your slides look.
SPEAK, LEAD & INFLUENCE, Q3 Pod B starts on the inside, with the thinking patterns and habits that surface under pressure and undermine everything else. The presentation skills training comes after that foundation is in place, which is why the results may hold in a way that technique-only training does not.
Yes. =SPEAK, LEAD & INFLUENCE, Q3 Pod B is designed specifically for mid to senior professionals in Singapore who are already performing well in their careers and want their communication to match their capability.
The weekly time commitment is approximately one hour and 45 minutes, structured to fit around a full working schedule.
Each session of SPEAK, LEAD & INFLUENCE, Q3 Pod B is approximately one hour and 45 minutes: 15 minutes a day through the programme app, plus one live group session on Saturday evenings from 11:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
All sessions are recorded and made available to you, so no progress is lost.
Many participants come to SPEAK, LEAD & INFLUENCE, Q3 Pod B having already tried workshops, coaching, or online courses. If something still feels missing, it may be because previous training addressed the technique without addressing what sits underneath it. This programme starts there, which is why it may produce results where other approaches have not.
Email hello@insideoutacademy.sg to book a discovery call.
You will be invited to a short Discovery Call to discuss your goals, confirm the programme is a good fit, and walk through next steps before enrolment.
The room is waiting.
Three months from now, you could be a completely different presence in the room.
You could be that professional who speaks and people pay attention, handles a hard conversation without it going off course, and walks into an important presentation and comes out feeling they did it justice.
That could be you, with the right work done at the right layer.
