Course Description

Imagine this: Charming everyone at that networking eventSpeaking up at the staff meeting to share your Big Idea (which everyone loves, by the way)Chatting (effortlessly!) with your boss at the water coolerActually enjoying the prospect of a blind date - you know he'll think you're hilariousMeeting your girlfriend's family and (obviously) befriending all of themReturning happy from big events - not exhausted or worrying about the impression you made It's totally, 100% possible.
Feeling confident + comfortable in big groups, speaking up + being heard, hitting it off with people you just met - these aren't experiences that are reserved for special people. Anybody (yes, really - anybody) can learn to do these things. Being able to speak with confidence is a skill that translates to absolutely every aspect of your life - making presentations to your team, networking at professional conferences, big family holidays, dating, interviewing for new jobs. How you feel and speak about yourself directly affects your career, your personal life, and your self-esteem. This course teaches you simple techniques and easy adjustments that (slowly, gradually) lead to big results. If you've tried Toastmasters (too public) or books (too boring) this course is for you. With fun, engaging videos, you can learn at your own pace, on your own time, in your own home - and review whenever you need a refresher or a pep talk. You're fantastic. I know it and I'm pretty sure you know it. I invite you to step up and claim the things you deserve - the promotions, the new clients, the fun friends. You can start here. Enroll now! I can't wait to meet you. Who this course is for:
This course is designed for people who are longing to step into a more dynamic, confident and engaging persona. Whether you are longing to stand out at work, or be more comfortable among new people, this class will walk you through the tools to identify and then transform nuances of behavior. All participants are welcome.

As a speaker and coach, Ive worked with CEOs and everyday people, small nonprofits and complex global corporations and do you know what they all have in common? Invariably, their greatest untapped resource is their own light.
My expertise my mission centers on how to access that light practically and daily, and how to create real change from within whether for an individual, a team, or an organization. How did I come to specialize in this pursuit to ignite what I call All 1000 Watts of the power that lies within people? Heres a bit of my own story...
In years past, you might have seen me on the TV shows NCIS, Lie To Me,Numb3rs and Bones,or one of about a million television commercials. While studying at the Yale School of Drama, and as a professional actress, I met hundreds of individuals who felt held back. I saw that well-known movers in the industry and fledgling actors alike shared a common struggle to make their deepest goals tangible, and to overcome internal barriers to living at and working at full wattage. Speaking boldly on camera is one thing; speaking your truth in your daily reality is entirely another. I discovered I had an unmistakable ability to help people tap into their own brilliant light and manifest real change.
So for the last five years, Ive dedicated myself to doing just that.
I teach executives, teams, and companies of all sizes how to connect more fully to themselves and each other. From Trader Joes and SON

I was looking for information on how to improve my public speaking skills by increasing personal confidence and learning how to prepare and deliver content. The course was mainly on increasing awareness on your vocal characteristics and increasing core strength to improve posture, how you carry yourself. A few nuggets but it was mainly a waste of my time.

The course content was good but some sections were repeated as I watched How to Create a 1000 watt presence course first.
I had difficulty in downloading the attachments. However, once downloaded just right mouse click, rename and add the letters 'pdf' to the document and it changes to a pdf version.

Very informative and effective! The exercises mentioned by Alexa Fischer are simple and easy-too-do and help in giving a direction to our thoughts and actions. Really like the style in which everything is explained. The guest speakers are also very good, especially liked the Vocal Warm-up exercises demonstrated by Tesaa Auberjonois. Thanks!
