Sound familiar?

You’re smart. You know your work.
So why is speaking up so hard?

The meeting moves on

You have a good point ready, but by the time you’ve built the sentence in your head, the moment has passed.

You ramble, then stop

You start explaining, add more background, lose the thread, and finish with “...so yeah, basically.”

You worry how your English sounds

Your accent, a grammar slip, a word you can’t remember. So you stay quiet, even when you know the answer.

Your mind goes blank

In interviews and presentations, the nerves take over and the words you practised disappear.

“Just be confident” doesn’t help. Small, specific practice does. That’s what this challenge gives you, one day at a time.

How it works

Four weeks. Four skills.

Each week builds on the last, from calming your nerves to performing under pressure.

WEEK 1 · DAYS 1–7

Calm

Take the fear out of speaking
  • A 1-minute breathing reset
  • Turn nerves into energy
  • Your personal fear ladder
WEEK 2 · DAYS 8–14

Clarity

Say what you mean, simply
  • Point-first answers
  • Fewer filler words
  • The power of the pause
WEEK 3 · DAYS 15–21

Presence

Be heard in meetings
  • Speak up in the first 5 minutes
  • Disagree without drama
  • A 60-second update format
WEEK 4 · DAYS 22–30

Performance

Shine when it counts
  • “Tell me about yourself”
  • STAR interview stories
  • When your mind goes blank
Every day

About 10 minutes. Five simple parts.

No theory to memorise, no hour-long videos. Just a pen, your phone camera and a clear task.

Workbook page: When English isn't your first language
Built for second-language speakers

You don’t need perfect English to speak with confidence

Being understood matters more than your accent.Clarity, pace and structure make you easy to follow, and you can train all three.
Fillers count in every language.“Um”, “matlab”, “yaani”, “na”: the workbook helps you notice and replace all of them.
Ready-made phrases are your shortcut.When you know a phrase by heart, you don’t have to build it under pressure.
Backed by research

Techniques that are tested, not trendy

Every “Why it works” box is based on published research, explained in plain language. A few examples:

Stanford, 2023

Five minutes a day of a simple breathing pattern improved mood more than mindfulness meditation.

Harvard, 2014

Saying “I am excited” before a speech made speakers come across as more confident and persuasive.

Harvard, 2017

People who asked more follow-up questions were liked more by the people they talked to.

Why I made this

I’m Rutansh. I grew up in Punjab speaking Punjabi and Hindi, and I’ve spent six years working in e-commerce, mostly in English, in meetings and calls with people from all over the world.

I’ve seen how many smart, capable people go quiet in those rooms, not because they have nothing to say, but because speaking up feels risky. I’m not a speech coach. I collected techniques that are backed by research and turned them into small daily tasks you can fit into a busy week.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take each day?

Most days take about 10 minutes. A few days, like building your interview stories, take 15–20 minutes, and they’re clearly marked. Missed a day? Just continue where you left off.

Do I need good English to use this?

You need enough English to work in it. This isn’t a grammar course. It helps you speak more clearly and confidently with the English you already have.

How do I get the workbook?

Right after payment you’ll see a download page, and you’ll also get an email with your download link. You can download it again anytime.

Can I use it on my phone or tablet?

Yes. It’s a PDF, so it opens on any device. On a tablet, you can write directly on it in apps like GoodNotes, Notability or Samsung Notes. You can also print it.

Will someone give me feedback?

The workbook uses short self-recordings so you can see and hear your own progress. If you get stuck, email hello@getspeaksteady.com and you’ll get a reply from Rutansh.
