Course Description
Have you ever had that pang of jealousy watching someone achieve their dreams - sharing their vision effortlessly - jumping over every perceived obstacle along the way?
You might think, “They make it look so EASY, so why the heck can’t I do it too?! What’s stopping me?!”
If you’ve landed on this page, then something inside of you is tired of your procrastination, sick of your hesitation and READY to finally GO FOR YOUR DREAMS! You have this one precious life and you deserve success, happiness and a deep sense of contentment so you can finally live the life you imagine for yourself.
It’s time for you to connect to your purpose, set achievable goals and learn how to stay motivated along the way, and I can show you how.
Maybe your desire is to build your own online course.
Or finally lose those nagging ten pounds (again).
Or put yourself out there - on video - so you can share your vision with the world.
If you’re tired of watching others achieve success while you seem to stay stuck in the same old patterns, then this is the course for you.
I’m Alexa I’m a best-selling Udemy instructor. I’ve taught tens of thousands of students to speak with confidence - on camera, at work, on stage and IN LIFE. As a former actress on hit TV shows like Lie to Me, NCIS and Bones, I have honed a methodology to help people connect with their inner light - something I call their 1000 watt presence - to light up a room and light up your life.
I’ve shared my expertise on The Today Show and have been featured in publications like Fast Company, Forbes, Entrepreneur and Thrive Global. With over 2,000 five star reviews, my students have shared the impact my insights have made in their life.
“The teacher is brilliant and the lessons are truly motivational! I am so thankful for this course. It changes your life.” - Luciola Zamprogna, Udemy student
In this master class, I breakdown the teaching into three primary areas
FINDING YOUR PURPOSE
IDENTIFYING YOUR GOALS
STAYING MOTIVATED
Each section addresses the critical steps for discovering deep insights into exactly what you have secretly wishing to achieve and what’s stopped you in the past. Next, you learn specific exercises to take those insights and put them into action so you finally achieve those lasting results you have always wanted.
Each lesson is short, inspirational, and specific - with guided exercises every step of the way. In addition to the video lectures, a 70+ page workbook is available with worksheets provided with every lesson.
In this master class, I cover:
FINDING YOUR PURPOSE: Helping you identify the work that matters to you.
Making Meaning: Why Finding Your Purpose Matters
Gaining Perspective: How the Messages You've Received Shaped You
Finding Focus: Dig Deep and Start Discovering
Taking Action: Your Path to Progress
IDENTIFYING YOUR GOALS
Define It: The Power of Clarity
Sneaky Thoughts: How to Release Negativity
Name It: Your BIG AWESOME Goal
Breaking It Down: Small Steps Create Massive Results
STAYING MOTIVATED
The Attitude of Success
Learn From Others: Seek Advice + Inspiration
Best Practices For Staying on Track
Pep Talks on Demand (I’ll lift you up when you feel down!)
Each section includes additional video Question + Answers and I’m always connected to my students as they have questions and comments along the way! Curious to see more, please check out the preview lectures available and see for yourself.
One Udemy employee shared that she always watches one of my videos when she feels stuck or overwhelmed to help her go from thinking that “she can’t” to “I can”. That one comment was the inspiration for this course! It was time that I shared my personal tools and techniques to help my students make their big dreams come true.
This is your time, my friend. You can do it. In fact, the only regret you will ever have in life is never trying.
See you in class!!!

As a speaker and coach, I’ve worked with CEOs and everyday people, small nonprofits and complex global corporations … and do you know what they all have in common? Invariably, their greatest untapped resource is their own light.
My expertise – my mission – centers on how to access that light practically and daily, and how to create real change from within – whether for an individual, a team, or an organization. How did I come to specialize in this pursuit to ignite what I call “All 1000 Watts” of the power that lies within people? Here’s a bit of my own story...
In years past, you might have seen me on the TV shows NCIS, Lie To Me, Numb3rs and Bones, or one of about a million television commercials. While studying at the Yale School of Drama, and as a professional actress, I met hundreds of individuals who felt “held back.” I saw that well-known movers in the industry and fledgling actors alike shared a common struggle to make their deepest goals tangible, and to overcome internal barriers to living at and working at full wattage. Speaking boldly on camera is one thing; speaking your truth in your daily reality is entirely another. I discovered I had an unmistakable ability to help people tap into their own brilliant light and manifest real change.
So for the last five years, I’ve dedicated myself to doing just that.
