Pro90d is a scientifically-based, holistic system designed to help you:

1. Smooth out your speech,

2. Change your mindset,

3. Transform your speaking identity.We know that the above is possible because:

- Speech and speaking are both habits and learnable skills.

- Disfluent speech is a way or pattern of speaking and a way of thinking.

- Using Neuroplasticity, you can change your way of speaking and thinking.

Pro90d stands for Proactive Speech In 90 Days. We often refer to

Pro90d as the Pro90d Smooth Speech System.

Pro90d or parts of the system can be delivered via online courses, private or group coaching, virtual or live workshops.

This system is based on the following five (5) bodies of knowledge:

☞Neuroscience

☞Habit Formation

☞Learning Theory

☞Client Experience

☞Personal Experience

Neuroscience

Here's a synopsis of what you'll learn. . .Your brain can be changed. With focused and consistent conscious effort you can form or strengthen neural pathways that reflect new ways of thinking and behaving. This means you can train yourself to feel more calm, calm and confident. You can learn to speak more smoothly and clearly.

Habit Formation

Speaking well is both a way of thinking and speaking. That is, by repeating certain thoughts and patterns of speech over and over in different situations you can forge a new mindset and set of beliefs about yourself and your ability to speak well. You can also develop a smoother and clearer way of speaking that becomes completely natural and automatic for you.

Learning Theory

Speaking well is a learned behavior. In fact, you learned to speak your first language by modeling those around you. It was natural and you didn't have to be taught to model, you just did it automatically. In much the same way you can use modeling to learn to speak exceptionally well.

In fact, virtually all great speakers and performers in every area of life had one or more models. Believe it or not, modeling is the fastest and easiest way to learn to speak smoothly, clearly and confidently.

If you deliberately and consistently observe someone else performing something you want to do, then you can do it too. Exceptions to this would be physical limitations or massive brain damage.

Client Experience

Science and theory are great. But actual client experience is even better. We are constantly learning from people just like you what works and what doesn't. We take this learning and roll it back into our program to make it better and better on a regular basis.

You know this system works, because people like you have tested and proven it in their own real life experiences.

Personal Experience

Because I personally stuttered and struggled with my speech for more than 20 years, I know what it feels like to feel limited, trapped and unable to say what I wanted, when I wanted, the way I wanted. I know what it's like to not be able to get air to start speaking. I know what it's like to avoid opportunities because of the fear of or anticipation of being disfluent.

But, the awesome news is that I also know what it's like to break free of that and be able to express myself in way that has transformed my speech into one of my greatest assets.

Therefore, as a person who has struggled with this for much of my life I am able to provide a unique perspective, deep insight and understanding into how you too can move your speech from a liability to one of your greatest assets.

Introduction

Pro90d is a comprehensive system designed to help individuals transform their speaking style, mindset, and speaking identity. By leveraging the principles of neuroscience, habit formation, learning theory, client experiences, and personal experience, Pro90d provides a structured approach to improving speech fluency, clarity, and confidence. In this article, we will explore the roles of key brain regions in habit formation, the importance of myelination and Hebb's Law, and discuss the estimated time it may take to transform your speech using the Pro90d system.

1. Harnessing the Power of Your Brain with Pro90d

Pro90d incorporates the latest insights from neuroscience to help you develop new speaking habits. Key brain regions, such as the basal ganglia and prefrontal cortex, play crucial roles in habit formation and reinforcement learning. As you practice new speech patterns, these brain areas work together to help you consciously control your speech while gradually turning the new speaking style into an automatic habit.

Myelination is another essential aspect of the learning process. Myelin is a fatty substance that insulates nerve fibers, increasing the speed and efficiency of electrical signals transmitted between neurons. As you consistently practice and repeat new speaking patterns, myelin production around the involved neural pathways increases, resulting in faster and more efficient communication between neurons. This process strengthens the neural connections associated with the desired speaking style, making it more natural and automatic over time.

2. Hebb's Law: The Science Behind Consistent Practice

Hebb's Law, often summarized as "neurons that fire together, wire together," emphasizes the importance of consistent practice in forming and strengthening neural connections. The more you engage in activities that promote your new speaking style, the stronger the neural connections associated with that style will become. This process, in conjunction with myelination, helps solidify the new speech patterns as automatic habits.

3. The Journey to Transforming Your Speech

Transforming your speech with Pro90d involves a complex interplay between the brain regions responsible for habit formation, decision-making, language processing, and motor control. On average, it can take anywhere from a few weeks to several months to develop a new habit or change an existing one. However, the exact duration varies depending on factors such as individual learning abilities, the extent of the desired change, practice frequency, and the level of motivation and focus. Patience and persistence are essential, as the process of changing ingrained speech patterns can be challenging.

4. Client Experience and Personal Experience: Learning from Real-Life Success Stories

The Pro90d system is continuously informed by client experiences and my personal journey of overcoming my own struggles with stuttering. This unique perspective and deep insight enable the Pro90d system to be empathetic and adaptive, ensuring that the program remains effective and relevant for those seeking to improve their speech.

Conclusion

Pro90d is a powerful system that helps you master the art of fluent speech by tapping into the power of your brain, myelination, Hebb's Law, and consistent practice. By understanding the neurological underpinnings of habit formation and committing to regular practice, you can create lasting positive changes in your speech fluency, clarity, and confidence. The journey to fluent speech may take time and dedication, but with the Pro90d system, you have a proven roadmap to guide you towards turning your speech into one of your greatest assets.

Many people ask, "Why can I speak smoothly when I'm alone but struggle with stuttering, blocking, or fast, choppy speech in interviews, meetings, or public speaking situations?"

The answer lies in your brain and how it responds to pressure, fear of judgment, and high-stakes speaking situations. When you're by yourself, there's no one to impress. You feel relaxed, confident, and free from external or internal pressure. This is your resting state.

But during job interviews, presentations, or even casual conversations with colleagues, your amygdala (fear center) may get triggered, causing you to feel anxious. Your prefrontal cortex starts to overthink. You may begin to negatively anticipate or worry about getting stuck. These thoughts and emotions become part of your procedural memory, stored in the basal ganglia. Over time, your brain forms automatic speech patterns that show up in real-life situations even if you’re practicing fluency alone.

Add in external pressure like time constraints or being watched, and internal preoccupations like perfectionism and self-monitoring, and it becomes clear why your speech can feel disrupted or out of sync.

The good news? You can rewire your brain using structured, science-based speech techniques that retrain your neural pathways, build confidence, and prepare you to communicate clearly in any setting. Whether you're preparing for interviews, struggling with fast speech, or holding back in meetings, you can learn to speak smoothly, calmly, and confidently—even under pressure.

🎯 5 Major Challenges We Address for Our Clients

1. Anxiety and Fear Around Speaking

This includes:

• Negative anticipation

• Fear of judgment

• Speaking anxiety and nervousness

“I used to dread every time I had to speak up at work. Now, I actually look forward to it.”

2. Lack of Confidence and Self-Belief

This includes:

• Low self-confidence

• Lack of belief in improvement

• Emotional exhaustion

“For the first time, I feel like I’m becoming the speaker I was always meant to be.”

3. Speech Disfluencies and Fast or Choppy Speech

“Before Pro90D, I missed out on promotions. Now, I lead meetings and deliver presentations without hesitation.”

5. Perfectionism and Pressure to Perform

This includes:

• Desire to “say it just right”

• Pressure to not mess up

• Embarrassment over speech mistakes

“I realized I don’t have to be perfect—I just need to be clear, calm, and present.”

Yes. If you can understand English, can learn new skills and develop new habits, this system can work for you.

The key to making it work is to focus on develop the 5 critical habits that will get you the results you want. You can download that guide here.

This is a great question, and the answer is, it depends on the severity of the speech and how much time and effort you devote to the process. On average I see people begin to experience noticeable changes in their confidence and speech in 1-2 weeks.

By week 3 we see more consistent changes.Between weeks 6 and 8 we see dramatic changes from when the person first started.

Furthermore, these changes continue to increase as long as the client continues to get out and speak, just like one would experience in mastering a new language.

The more you use it, the more fluent you become.Studies show that it can take as little as 18 days to form a new simple habit pattern.

The average time is 66 days and could take 254 days or longer for more complex habit patterns.

Remember, these times are for making the new pattern automatic (when one reaches automaticity) where one doesn't have to think about it anymore.However, as I mentioned above, we see our clients form new thinking and speaking patterns (a repeated or regular way in which something is done) in as little as 3 weeks. To make these patterns habitual, you should expect it to take several months of consistent usage.

No, absolutely not. We have many clients who do not consider themselves stutterers and do not stutter at all.

However, they want to improve:

>How they communicate under pressure.

>How they articulate their thoughts.

>How smooth and rhythmic they speak.

>Their self-confidence.

>Their presentation skills.

Many of our clients are multilingual, speak really fast and therefore find it challenging to clearly articulate their thoughts.

They understand the impact and value excellent communication skills have on their personal and professional lives. So, they choose Pro90d to help them get lasting results as quickly as possible.
