Already have a coach helping you perfect your introduction speech? Great! Now come put it to the test by presenting it before our panel and receiving real scores and constructive feedback.

Already training for the Q&A portion? Step into our mock judging session and test your skills under pressure. Hear real questions, receive valuable critiques from experienced judges, and discover what you need to improve before competition day.

One of the most valuable parts of pageant preparation is receiving honest, constructive feedback before you step onto the competition stage.

At Workshop 3: Speaking with Confidence, participants will take part in a Mock Q&A Panel and receive a scored evaluation from our guest judges and mentors. Each participant will receive a personalized scoresheet highlighting their strengths, areas for improvement, and actionable feedback to help them grow.

Why is this important?
👑 Identify blind spots before competition day
👑 Learn what judges are actually looking for
👑 Gain confidence through real-time practice
👑 Make adjustments and refine your delivery before it counts
👑 Walk into your pageant feeling prepared, polished, and empowered

The goal isn't perfection, it's progress. Every piece of feedback is an opportunity to grow, strengthen your skills, and become the best version of yourself before you compete.

Because the best time to receive feedback is before the judges are deciding who takes home the crown! 👑 💜✨️

I’ve been incredibly busy balancing work, family, and other commitments, so unfortunately I won’t be taking on one-on-one pageant clients for upcoming competitions at this time.

If you’re still looking to strengthen your pageant skills, I highly encourage you to join us for our third and final Global Crown Academy workshop of the year! Trust me, you won’t want to miss what we have planned. We’ll be focusing on building confidence, public speaking, introductions, and mock interviews to help you prepare for your next competition.

My beautiful friend got married in Cancun and guess who got to be her hairstylist? 🙋🏻‍♀️

We didn’t want to ruin Marina’s beautiful hairstyle since she’ll be changing into her Hmong outfit later, so I carefully tucked her Hollywood waves into a hair net to help preserve the style.
