✨ Should You Attend?
- Are you curious about speaking but unsure where to start?
- Do you want to refine your presence and clarity?
- Do you hope to speak at chapter events or larger conferences?
- Do you want confidence without critique-heavy coaching?
- If speaking is on your 'someday' list, this is how it becomes this year!
✨ What to Expect:
Monthly peer sessions based on our 6-month access to The Speaker's Soundcheck Audio Vault: Weekly pep-talks, clarity boosts, mindset resets, and communication strategies delivered to your inbox. By September, you will be more confident, more grounded, and more willing to say 'yes' to speaking.
✨ About the Facilitator:
Bridgett McGowen is the Presentation Fixer. She is an award-winning international recognized speaker and communication strategist who moves professionals to replace self-doubt with confidence and clarity. She is also the host of the Own The Microphone Podcast!

Think of a SIG as a club within the club. It’s a small, trusted group where you show up consistently, share ideas, make mistakes, and grow together. Pick one or two SIGs this year, commit to the journey, and experience what real connection and learning inside ATDCFL feels like.
SIGs work because they’re built on consistency, trust, and shared purpose. When the same people show up month after month, conversations go deeper, feedback gets better, and learning turns into real progress. By committing to one or two SIGs, you’re not just attending meetings; you are investing in a community that supports your growth, challenges your thinking, and helps you move forward faster than going it alone. That’s where the real value of a SIG lives.
