While the fundamentals of effective public speaking remain the same, cultural expectations have shifted, and audience attention spans have shortened. Because of these changes, traditional sales talks and leadership speeches no longer resonate or engage as they used to.
As a speaker for the last three decades, I have personally experienced this change and with nearly a decade of experience coaching DisruptHR and TEDx speakers, I came to realize that there are five misunderstandings that get in the way of impactful talks or presentations that fit today's cultural and business expectations.
The model I created for overcoming these five misunderstandings has helped me train TEDx and DisruptHR speakers to shine on stage even when they only have minutes to speak.
Now I am applying my model to equip professionals for overcoming these five misunderstandings and reach real impact.
I work with teams and individuals to achieve success through intensive, hands-on application of transformational strategies and frameworks. The end result is a true change in the understanding and mindset on public speaking.
The first of the Five Misunderstandings that you or your key personnel will overcome is confusing the subject from the objective of your talk.

"I had the privilege of working with Alberto Garcia Jurado through DisruptHR Austin. He encouraged me to apply, and , from the outset, I felt his enthusiasm for people and their pursuits.
Alberto looked at me with bright, curious eyes and recognized my potential. He invests personally in the people he mentors. He is highly curious and creative and makes sure breakthroughs are not only achieved, but fun along the way. As a great story teller he models for speakers and leaders ways to connect and inspire audiences.
His leadership through DisruptHR Austin and Houston reflects his passion for helping elevate others.
I’m grateful for his encouragement, his mentorship, and the way he continuously works to create platforms where ideas and people can thrive."

"I highly recommend Alberto for your coaching needs in becoming a speaker. He holds a beautiful space for you to work through your own process, gently guiding you along the way. My speech evolved and evolved until I landed on exactly what felt true for me, and Alberto was there every step of the way. Even during rehearsal, he gave me excellent feedback that resulted in my speech landing in a stronger capacity with the audience I was delivering it to. If you are looking for a coach to help get you to the next level as a speaker, Alberto is your man!"

"Alberto acted as my coach in preparation for a speaking engagement with DisruptHR. My first draft was... not the best. But Alberto offered firm, kind, direct feedback and offered a clear path to getting my presentation where it needed to be. He always cheered me on, believed in the direction I was going, and created an environment in which I felt supported and was able to deliver something I was extremely proud of and felt authentic and impactful. Very grateful to Alberto!"
Mariam Matin
"I had the pleasure of being coached by Alberto as part of a DisrtuptHR Austin event. He was genuinely interested in helping each speaker find their unique voice to share their message. From the first virtual rehearsal to the event's opening, he shared his time and expertise so others could shine. I experienced Alberto as an expert in presenting and training, a kind soul, and a dedicated and fun-loving professional. Thank you!"
