The SpeakEasy Method is a connection tool developed by Gregg Gonzales to help individuals become better connected to his or her story. It involves a series of steps around "AI" and the "4 Cs". AI stands for attention and intention, and the 4 Cs stand for compassion, curiosity, conversation, and clarity. His mission in creating this method is to use these steps to teach individuals and writers how to connect with the story they have to tell. Gonzales understands that getting the first words onto the page is often the hardest obstacle for writers to overcome. The SpeakEasy Method specializes in helping writers bring that first draft to life. It's a collaborative process that includes steps for getting started, making time, and battling any self-doubt. His goal is to help writers take their story to places they didn't know were possible. His team works with a lot of memoir and nonfiction writers, but they also work with fiction writers.
