Master the Skills of Theater and Film to Win Over Audiences and Win Business

All speakers are performers—like an actor, you’re playing a part, only the role you’re playing is you! But this is a heightened, on-stage version of you with an “in-the-moment” awareness of the audience so you can respond with agility and authenticity. So you can win them over and win business.

Our acting coaches have trained award-winning film stars, executives and professionals of all kinds. In this supportive and inspiring training, you’ll come away with the ability to project a natural and confident personality in front of audiences.

You’ll learn to engage audiences both intellectually and emotionally, and how to read audience energy and meet it with confidence. You’ll come away knowing the vocal, physical and timing techniques to deliver a compelling presentation that wins converts.

You’ll have the rehearsal and performance secrets used by successful actors—even the most seasoned actors face stage fright and know how to manage it. You will too. You’ll also learn the improv techniques that can help you turn unexpected challenges into opportunities. You’ll discover how improv creates a collaborative effect that breaks down resistance and gets the audience on your side.

  • Own your message and focus on the audience—not your notes or slides
  • Rehearse a natural performance the way award-winning actors do
  • Get “in character” before every high-stakes talk or performance
  • Structure your message to engage audiences, using emotional triggers and drama to maximize attention
  • Optimize vocal projection, inflection and timing; utilize powerful pauses and transitions
  • Control movement, body language and expressions, including the use of effective eye contact
  • Banish crippling self-consciousness and stage fright through effective relaxation techniques; eliminate distracting habits
  • Convey credibility, conviction and confidence in your position
Our programs can be designed to meet the needs of any type of executive or management team, intact or cross-functional work teams, or to individuals (including individual contributors) gathered from different parts of an organization.

This programs can address small groups of 10 – 25 or larger populations of up to 200 leaders of the organization, split into smaller cohorts of people, with each cohort working with one of our expert coaches. Customization around specific development and leadership needs is part of every workshop. (Can also be conducted as a 1-on-1 private coaching program.)

Depending on your needs, our programs can be delivered over the course of an intensive half-day, 1-day, 2-day or 3-day session, as well as over longer periods for spaced learning and special project work between modules.
