(Overall, the program is a unique opportunity to think big, to play with new ideas, and to create a bond with a cohort of people you may never have connected with otherwise.
You DESERVE the recognition, fame, and awards, but don’t know how to get there, you’d agree, right?
You grease your elbows to come up with compelling ideas after research.
You don’t sleep for nights to make visuals stand out and be attractive.
You give your research a logical sequence so that it flows systematically. And when it is time to deliver…
Someone with more confidence and better speaking skills takes your work, delivers it, and gets all the credit for it…
Whereas you stay “behind the scenes…”
As someone with no recognition. No applause. And no promotion.
But this around, it is going to change.
With the assistance of TLA, you’ll,
- Become a Thought Leader who knows how to put across ideas and thoughts compellingly.
- Be able to build a value-based brand, where people see you as someone who has elusive knowledge and insights.
- Have an engaging community that takes your message and spread it to your target audience.
And the truth is, it can only be possible when you get a hang of storytelling.
Join TLA Academy!All you need to do is to master the art of storytelling and you’ll be able to connect with the audience and get the recognition you DESERVE!
There aren’t many professionals who can make sense of the data better than you.
But knowing data and banging the drum for it won’t cut it if you aspire to become a thought leader with the audience to tout for you.
You gotta learn the naked art of enveloping the data & statistics around stories to grip the audience until you’ve delivered your core message.
When you turn data and facts into stories, you create memorable connections with your audience, elevating you to Thought Leader status and creating the impact you desire.
We know you don’t have the natural inclination for stories.
Though it’s understandable since you’re a hardcore intellectual individual with academic brilliance.
And at times, telling stories seems like tricking people into listening to you.
However, it’s the need for an hour since you have 7 seconds to hold the audience’s attention.
Join TLA Academy!The first 7 seconds make it for you or break it for you…
And arguably, there’s no better way to hook the audience in the first 7 seconds than leveraging storytelling and emotions.
And you’ve seen it. Don’t you?
Every TED Talk or forum conversation starts with something off-topic (though fully aligned with what is conveying) and then pivots into the real meat.
Now, you may wonder how you can wrap data, metrics, and statistics into an engaging story?
Our step-by-step framework handholds you to craft stories that are felt deeply by your audience and get you recognized in your field.
Once you have got the storytelling part down, you’ll have a WORLD to conquer with your ideas.
Before we move forward, let’s learn who is overseeing the entire coaching program
Join TLA Academy!MEET YOUR COACH
Hello, My name is Andrea Sampson !
And just like you, I love the details, the data, the research, and the science.
Back in the day, I used to feel frustrated when I would see my peers getting promotions, rewards, and recognition regardless of their experience.
Here I was a behind-the-seen researcher who would spell out everything for them without getting appreciation.
Even when I tried to impress the audience with my intellect, I couldn’t get the same applause.
For years, I didn’t understand and kept belittling myself…
Until I discovered the power of storytelling.
Since then, my life hasn’t been the same.
I have had the privilege of working with hundreds of the greatest minds to grace stages like TED and TEDx.
And now I support CEOs, Professional Speakers, and Thought Leaders in untangling an idea and making it come to life through stories.
Now, without further ado, let’s get into what we have inside our coaching program.
“Andrea's help and perspective on crafting my TEDxToronto talk were invaluable. She has all the right skills - the curiosity and desire to understand the content, a natural gift with narrative, and a keen sense of her audience.”

Senior Fellow, Canadian Institute for Advanced Research and Professor, Department of Computer Science, University of Toronto

Richard P. Blundel
Executive-in-Residence (Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto)
Andrea is a consummate professional at what she does, which is coaching people on how to deliver purposeful messages with confidence in a public venue. She is an absolute delight to work with, always encouraging and supportive in her messaging. I learned more in my 3 hours with Andrea, than I have in a 30-year career of executive leadership, punctuated with many public speaking commitments. She has the ability to quickly distill complex messages into simple storyboards to capture the attention of the public audience with poignant and focused presentations. Andrea’s coaching was instrumental in preparing me for my first TEDx presentation. I can’t imagine preparing for my TEDx talk without Andrea’s help, encouragement, and expert guidance. She is simply the best!
Angela Payne
President (Lean In Canada)
I was referred to Andrea and her company Talk Boutique by a friend and wasn’t really sure what to expect from a speaking coach. What I was met with was a super switched on and pleasant team who did a discovery call, booked my appointments and essentially made it very easy to do business with Talk Boutique, and then once I met Andrea I had to work with this team. Genuine, and authentic Andrea made me feel like she was with me every step of the way. Pushed and supported in all the right places, Andrea helped me represent the Lean In Canada organization to deliver a talk focused on the impact the pandemic is having on women with a good balance of storytelling and facts. Thank you Andrea for being a great coach and for walking alongside me through this 5 week's project.
Tony Hunt

(Short Version) Talk Boutique training made a big difference for me. Your Talk Canvas is a great tool. It has refined my content and allowed me to focus on my message. My presentations are better for my attendees and easier to deliver too!. Your teaching helped me find relevant and authentic messaging to suit the diverse group. your work has unlocked another level of leadership presence for me.
Feedback was great, a couple of people told me that the presentation really inspired them, some said it was very professional as if delivered by a CEO, I was told I set a new standard for the event, and the authentic stories really impressed.
I have done well before, but your work has unlocked another level of leadership presence for me. I think you have rekindled my passion for speaking!
Thank you so much for helping me!

This experience taught me how to share my ideas in a more engaging and inspiring way. It helped me learn to organize my thinking and taught me the value of storytelling, which I will use much more frequently in my work going forward.
This talk pushed me to be vulnerable and to explore a topic that is near and dear to my heart. The process of working with Andrea was both professionally and personally very rewarding and helped me to write and deliver a talk that was meaningful and that I feel good about sharing.
