PRESENCE & SPEAKING for modern business
Our Power Persona method changes how people show up. Learn to move yourself, your team and business forward in every interaction.
Do you have technical folks whose brilliance gets lost in the room? Business growing faster than your teams? Young talent struggling to connect IRL? Teams that can’t close a meeting, let alone a deal?
Digital-first communication has eroded everyday skills and daily mentoring. Today’s workforce is increasingly unclear, unconfident or unpersuasive. And they don’t respond to long lectures or never-ending tactics.
Power Persona™ acts as an operating system for increased presence, effective delivery, daily resilience, and personal brand.
WHY POWER PERSONA
Our process identifies a Power Persona for each participant, to amplify real strengths and address needed growth. It’s a North Star. From meetings to Slack to presentations and conversations.
We develop it into second nature as we train across a four -system stack of critical skill sets:
Mindset > Clarity > Conviction > Connection
