About US

Natasha Cruz

For many years I said ‘NO!’ to speaking opportunities that came my way - I stayed in the ‘comfort zone’ feeling very uncomfortable. I knew I had more to say, more to offer, more to share yet I was terrified of being judged by others - What if I opened my mouth only to stumble and splutter all over my words? I mean I have lived and worked in 3 different countries, South Africa, the United Kingdom, and the U.S.A., I learned to drive a truck on the wrong side of the road when I moved to Houston, not knowing a soul- so doing brave things, being adaptable and resilient are my strong suits after all. However, I was terrified of public speaking. Doesn’t make sense, right? Why is public speaking so dreaded? I was hoping that with time this would become a fear of the past BUT the truth is, different circumstances and different seasons offered a new set of intimidations. Can you relate? Feeling stuck, limited, and frustrated, I decided enough was enough. As a teacher with 20 years of experience, a degree in Pedagogy, my fascination with Neuroscience, and my faith in God, I knew it was time to face my fears.

In my quest to transform myself into a brave orator, I decided to dive deep. I didn't just want to sound confident but still be quivering at the sight of an organized mob - I wanted to get rid of that ghastly public speaking anxiety altogether. What I discovered in my journey was that we are ALL born to use our voices to IMPACT and CONNECT others. Furthermore, public speaking skills are learned skills that anyone can master, with consistent practice. I took what I learned, and packaged it into a unique, easy-to-follow, and achievable public speaking system for both adults and kids, within Great Orators- Public Speaking (which we lovingly call GO Public). With my superpowers of connecting with others, seeing their potential, and being culturally eclectic, I am passionate and dedicated to helping you pick up a mic, tell your story, and accomplish your life assignment. Are you ready?

"Despite my years of experience, I struggled with delivering powerful and clear messages. This master class, led by the incredibly skilled Natasha, transformed my confidence and abilities. The sessions were invaluable, allowing me to identify and correct my mistakes, which greatly improved my presentations.When I first heard about the program, I was already familiar with Natasha's mastery of public speaking and her extensive teaching experience, so I knew the program had potential. Initially, I was concerned about whether the cost would be justified, but the results far exceeded my expectations. Not only did I learn specific techniques for public speaking, but Natasha also fostered a community of authenticity, vulnerability, and honesty. This environment allowed me to get the most value from the program. I highly recommend the public speaking master class for its outstanding service and impact. "

- Zalla Otten, Zalla Massage

"As an executive performance consultant with extensive experience in theater and public speaking, I was initially resistant to joining Natasha Crews' public speaking master class. Despite my background, I struggled with transitioning from interactive in-person sessions to engaging with audiences through a camera. Natasha's expertise and the supportive community she fostered transformed my approach. She taught me how to connect with my audience even when they weren't physically present, building my confidence and effectiveness. The master class was a game-changer, helping me to see my audience through the camera and tailor my delivery to their needs. Natasha's firm yet gentle teaching style, combined with her global experience and authentic approach, made learning enjoyable and impactful. The camaraderie among participants and the focus on authenticity and vulnerability enriched the experience. Initially skeptical about the cost and time investment, I found the program offered immense value, improving my skills and boosting my confidence. Natasha's methodical approach provided me with practical tools and a deeper understanding of my strengths and areas for growth. Her master class not only enhanced my public speaking abilities but also improved my communication skills in various aspects of my life. If you're looking to elevate your speaking skills and connect more deeply with your audience, Natasha's program is an invaluable investment. "

- Daniel Maldonado, Executive Performance Consultant

"Taking Natasha's public speaking master class was life-changing for me. Before, I struggled with preparing presentations and felt overwhelmed, but now I can quickly and confidently put together a speech for any audience size. The class transformed my confidence, enabling me to speak effortlessly to groups ranging from a few people to hundreds. It opened doors I previously shied away from, and I now embrace public speaking opportunities with ease. I realize that the confidence I thought I had was lacking, but now I feel prepared to speak in front of anyone, from a small group to a large audience. This class taught me so much I didn't know I needed to learn, leaving me more confident and opening many new opportunities, including business prospects. I highly recommend this class to anyone looking to improve their public speaking skills, boost their confidence, and unlock new opportunities."

- Lilly Powell, Interior Designer

"I took this class because I was desperate for help. Despite having a great career for over 30 years, I was recently asked to give more presentations, and I was terrified. After one deflating speech, I contacted Natasha and we worked together. This class has truly been life-changing for me. I learned how to take charge of my thoughts, believe in myself, and grow my confidence. Today, I am a new person and can't remember the person I was before. After taking the class, I gave a speech that was a night-and-day difference. I felt so much more confident and in control. After my speech, my CEO and colleagues noticed the difference and praised me for it. It was literally a 180-degree transformation. I can't thank Natasha enough. I highly recommend this class and can attest to its effectiveness and the significant impact it had on my life in such a short time. "

- Mike Rossen, Energy Trader and Operations Executive

"I used to look down on myself and never had the chance to communicate my message properly. But now, thanks to the preparation and structure I've learned, it's very simple for me to follow the three steps and be ready. With the help of my great teacher Natasha and my peers, I feel confident—something I had never felt before. When you receive that kind of support and encouragement, you feel like you can do anything. "

- Hadia Bokhari, Chief Sales Officer

So, you probably think the guy giving the speech at the front of the room has more confidence than you do. Well, you might be dead wrong in your assumption. Speaking in front of others is one of the most challenging things any person can attempt. The guy behind the dais has most likely figured out that conquering the speaking bug is a sure way to move a career forward, but the truth is, he may not have any more confidence than the rest of us. How do we go about gaining enough bravado to join him at the podium? Let’s look at a few tips.

1. Ditch the fear of failure.

Let’s be realistic. You’ll give great speeches someday! But you’ll also give mediocre speeches, and can I say it? Yes, you may give a couple of presentations that you won’t want your mother to know about. If you think about it, though, it’s the way we do most things. Nothing in our lives is done in excellence, one hundred percent of the time! Why not give yourself some room to grow from the start?

2. Use preparation as a tool.

It’s hard enough to be confident, but woefully so, if we don’t prepare. Speaking is similar to taking an exam. If you haven’t studied, you probably won’t do well. Start developing the habit of solid preparation now. You’ll never be sorry you did!

3. Work on the small things ahead of time.

Wearing your lucky suit, or the dress that you feel flatters you most, really does help you to stand tall. If you know you look your best, you’ll be more apt to give your best.

 4. Take the good with the bad, after it’s over.

Judge your performance realistically, BUT NOT EMOTIONALLY. There will always be good that

you did well, along with practices you need to improve. Make every attempt to gauge your speech as one who was watching. Better yet, enlist the aid of a coworker to help you assess, or maybe to video for you. Remember the purpose is NOT to beat yourself up, but to tweak small things that you feel you could do better the next time you speak.

 By engaging with the process of speaking, you may find your confidence incrementally strengthening more than you had ever imagine.
