In just one weekend, learn the elite techniques top speakers use to captivate, persuade, and get standing ovations.Story to Standing Ovation
August 15 - 17, 2025
Santa Barbara, CaliforniaThree days. Total transformation.
This is not a seminar. It's not a course. It's a high-intensity, hands-on speaker bootcamp designed to take you from “I don’t know where to start...” to “I brought the house down.”
You’ll walk in with an idea - or even just the desire to speak.
You’ll walk out with a standing ovation - worthy Signature Talk.
Spots are limited to preserve the experience.
If you're ready to own the room, this is your moment.
3 days. 72 hours.
The amount of time you could spend...
...rearranging all your furniture
...binge-watching a show
...doom-scrolling social media
Or instead you could...
...design your Signature Talk
...develop captivating stories
...deliver content worthy of a standing-ovation
Story. Structure. Staging.
Most speaker training ends at the script.
This is where yours begins.
At Story to Standing Ovation, you’ll learn to think, build, and perform like a world-class speaker. This approach covers everything that matters: what your audience hears, what they feel, and what they’ll never forget.
Story
Craft stories that do more than inform—they shift perspective. You’ll learn to find the moments that matter and tell them in ways that resonate, land, and last.Structure
Build a talk with purpose. One that flows, lands, and leaves your audience changed. This structure becomes your go-to blueprint, on stage or off.Staging
Deliver with precision. You’ll practice how to move, pause, gesture, and command attention with intention.Effect Change. Speak Strategically.
This Is for You If...
You operate at a high level: in your business, your career, your craft.
It’s time your speaking matched it.
You’ve built teams, brands, companies, or communities.
Now, you want to speak with the same purpose, clarity, and authority that built everything else.
You’re done holding back.
No more hiding behind slides or playing small on stage. You want to speak with power and performance.
You don’t just want to talk.
You want to move people. Shift energy. Change minds. Leave rooms different than you found them.
This experience is designed for leaders, experts, and professionals who want to communicate with power, on any stage, in any room, under any spotlight.
If you're ready to move people, not just talk at them, this is where it starts."Storytelling is an art form - and Kymberlee Weil is the master! I’ve been fortunate enough to work with some of the most talented creatives in the world, and Kymberlee is close to the top of that list.”
