What is Make the Stage?

Make the Stage (MTS) is a 7-week high-impact “Leadership development through Public Speaking” program specifically designed to propel you and your career to new heights and new stages.

Drawing from my experience of over 25 years leading and teaching globally, I've identified the essential knowledge, skills and mindsets that lie at the intersection of speaking and leadership. And these insights are the foundation of the Make the Stage journey.

If you want to change minds and hearts it's as much about your inner game as it is about the words you say and how you say them.

Hence I have chosen a group coaching format, where you not only get to practise the skills you are learning and get expert feedback from me but also from your fellow leaders giving you a powerful 360 degrees view that accelerates your transformation.
