Executive Presence has been identified as the #1 deficit keeping rising talent from ascending to the executive level. Fast track your executive level readiness with the Effortless Executive Presence Accelerator! We utilize theater-inspired techniques to help you step up to the leadership stage. It's time to be seen as the logical choice for that next level promotion. Protagonist Consulting Group is an organization dedicated to developing talent and bringing out the “Best” in everyone. Our specialty is helping leaders develop their executive presence, authenticity and storytelling skills through transformational learning experiences. Early in my career I traveled the globe as a performing artist offering my one person show in theaters, festivals and select street venues. I used storytelling, tap dancing, comic characters and wire waking to engage and delight my audiences. Fifteen years later I earned a Master's degree in business while working full time at Boston University. Then transitioned into corporate learning and became the top sales executive in a boutique training firm. I now run my own company and am a lecturer and executive coach at MIT Sloan School of Management. AUTHOR AND SPEAKER My book is called “Leading from Your Best Self: Develop Executive Poise, Presence and Influence to Maximize Your Potential” (McGraw-Hill). It is built on the premise that everyone one of us has the capacity to be extraordinary! I enjoy speaking at universities, associations, corporations, and conferences. Clients sees me and my team as the spark that ignites their audience and learners. A catalyst for transformation.
