“This training will make you better.  It helped me read an audience and bring my personality to the stage.  
I recommend it for anyone who wants to win.” -- Dr. Alberto Pena, Sanoviv Medical Institute
 
 

SAGEPRESENCE IN A ‘STILL-FRAME'

People come to us when they need confident, passionate presence.

They tell us they don’t have it when they need it – in front of groups, at pitches or interviews, in networking – when it really counts!

Emotions get in their way, they can’t connect, they draw a blank, they can't speak concisely.

Through programs, seminars, speaking, coaching, consulting, and streaming products, SagePresence brings authenticity, passion, connection, and well-structured messages.

Our clients become confident and influential under pressure. Many come to love what they used to fear. SagePresence is a professional equivalent to 'stage presence' – the real-world influence you need to win.

HOW LONG IN BUSINESS?

SagePresence has been in business since 2001. Its foundations began in the late '90s when Pete Machalek and Dean Hyers were training professional actors for stage and screen. Acting trainees were reporting career advancements in their places of work when practicing our approaches. Pete saw the opportunity to bring the skills out of the arts & entertainment arena and into corporations.

After Dean finished a feature film, SagePresence was formed to adapt the skills specifically to business professionals. Bill True joined the team in 2007 to bring screenwriting skills to answer the challenge of creating a universal message design structure. SagePresence has been actively training people, guiding corporate message design, and directing delivery ever since.
