The Abracadabra Group Coaching Intensive
April 7–May 12
Six weeks. Five people. One real deliverable.
Applications close March 30
I've watched brilliant, capable people buckle the moment the audience becomes more than two. Nerves, self-consciousness, the sudden certainty that everyone in the room can see exactly how uncertain you are.
The Abracadabra Group Coaching Intensive is a six-week sprint designed to turn that instinct around—so you start seeking out speaking opportunities instead of engineering your way out of them.

HOW IT WORKS
Five people. Six Tuesdays. April 7–May 12, 7–8:30pm GMT
Every session, each participant speaks to the group and gets live coaching and feedback on a real deliverable—something you're actually working on. An investor pitch. A conference talk. A video series you keep putting off. Not a hypothetical. Yours.
Why five people? Because five means you speak every single session. Five means real feedback from people who watched you do it, not a room big enough to disappear into.
That's the thing about being witnessed by a small group of peers who are in the same discomfort you are: it changes something. You stop performing and start connecting.
6X WEEKLY
Group CallS
Six 90-minute live sessions (Tuesdays, April 7–May 12, 7–8:30pm GMT)
COHORT OF 5 PARTICIPANTS
Small enough that you can't hide. Big enough to feel witnessed.
LIVE COACHING & FEEDBACK
Every week you speak. Every week you get better.

WHO THIS IS FOR
Founders preparing to pitch. Leaders with a conference slot coming up. Professionals who know they're capable but go blank when the stakes feel high. People who've been meaning to start a video presence for two years and keep finding reasons not to.
You don't need to be a polished speaker. You do need something real to work on and the willingness to be seen while you figure it out.

WHY TRUST ME
I've coached speakers at Google, Netflix, and Stanford GSB—and the work in this intensive is the same work.
I'm Rebecca Williams, a leadership communication coach based in Lisbon.
I co-authored Presenting Presenting: The Art of Public Speaking and How to Do it Better and built the Abracadabra Method around one core belief: you are more effective when you stop trying to be perfect.

Andrew Loh
I didn’t realize how unclear I spoke until working with Rebecca. The awareness was eye-opening, and it changed everything.
Barbara Krylova
Rebecca’s sessions are part communications coaching, part therapy. I feel a lot more comfortable in my own skin.
