We help clients step onto a bigger stage.

Sometimes, that’s literally a bigger stage, like a TED Talk, or an All-Hands in front of 100’s of employees, or an industry conference in front of 10,000 of your closest colleagues. Whether live or virtually, with our speech and storytelling coaching & training, we help our clients shine in high-stakes presentations and high-impact conversations.

We help clients step into the C-Suite and onto the Board of Directors.

 With our executive coaching clients, we help them answer the deeper question:

"What’s the next stage of your work in the world?"

We have helped clients land seats on for-profit Boards of Directors, step into the C-Suite, land SVP roles, & launch innovative initiatives. We'd be honored to help you create a bigger impact.

 

Are Any of These True for You?

  • "I am up for a major promotion but need to develop a stronger presence."

  • "I want to increase my influence, but need more confidence and clarity."

  • "I have to give a presentation at a major conference or high-stakes meeting, but I feel under-prepared and nervous.”

  • “I get stage fright when I have to present to people of power and authority — and thus forget my own.”

  • "I want to be a more engaging and effective leader but time and focus are an ongoing challenge."

  • "I'm ready to invest in increasing my visibility and advancing my career."
