The Presence Atelier
Your personal 6 week creative direction intensive to design how the world experiences you.
FOR LEADERS, FOUNDERS & EXPERTS READY TO BE SEEN.
Because some people just have that certain something.
(Turns out, it’s not luck. It’s crafted.)
My 1-1 on-camera training with Nicola was invaluable. I had no idea I was mumbling through half my words until we started working on it. Turns out a lot of what I thought was a “camera problem” was actually a voice problem.
She also gave me a really simple way to structure my filming so I’m not overthinking the process and can just focus on the script and getting my message across. I finally feel ready to start filming on my own. Couldn’t recommend her more.
I was uncomfortable going into the training, but realised its value as we went along. Nicola picked out things about me that were spot on, and through that I realised how interesting my own story could sound, and developed the skills to actually tell it well.
A televised interview is completely outside my comfort zone, but I now feel prepared for it and it’s given me that first step toward being more comfortable in the spotlight.
Inside the Atelier: Your Custom Blueprint
The Presence Atelier is an exclusive, highly tailored experience designed around your immediate professional goals. Together, we will audit your current brand and select the exact combination of these six foundational pillars to build your custom presence curriculum:
Your Archetype & Signature Style
The Work: We strip away generic, sterile corporate expectations and locate your authentic personal brand archetype. This isn’t about playing a character; it’s about dialing up your natural energy, your unique characteristics, and your distinct point of view.
The Outcome: You stop trying to blend in and start leading with a magnetic, unapologetic brand identity that is entirely your own.
Voice, Tone & Pacing
The Work: Your voice is your instrument. We develop your vocal dynamics, refining your tone, pitch and pacing to remove nervous, rushed speech patterns and weak filler words.
The Outcome: You speak clearly, confidently and hold the room’s attention with a vocal presence that makes people lean in to listen.
Movement & Stagecraft
The Work: We bring intention to your physical presence. You’ll learn the art of body language, poise and holding sway, whether from a physical stage or within a camera frame.
The Outcome: Your physical awkwardness vanishes. Instead of wondering what to do with your hands, your posture and movement naturally project a quiet confidence.
Message, Storytelling & Media Savvy
The Work: We take your decades of expertise and sculpt it into sharp, enchanting narratives that capture hearts and minds across any platform.
The Outcome: No more rambling or over-explaining. You gain the clarity to deliver clear, key messages, leaving your audience inspired and ready to take action.
Presentation Skills
The Work: The era of dull, dry corporate slideshows is officially over. We inject rhythm, pacing and a touch of strategic showmanship into your delivery.
The Outcome: Your presentations, pitches and keynotes become highly engaging, memorable, and leave your audience wanting an encore.
Aesthetics & Visual Alignment
The Work: Your visual identity, from what you wear to how you frame yourself on screen, is your silent introduction. We align your wardrobe, styling, and visual presence to match the true caliber of your genius.
The Outcome: You establish effortless, high-end authority the second you step into a room or onto a screen, before you’ve uttered a single word.
Your ROI
Developing these six pillars isn’t about vanity; it is the ultimate lever for your business. This is the toolkit that transforms how you show up in high-stakes environments:
Public Speaking & Keynotes:
Own the big stages, command premium speaking fees and effortlessly connect with rooms of hundreds.
On-Camera Performance:
Master the lens for video content, media interviews and virtual events with the ease and charm of a seasoned presenter.
High-Stakes Boardrooms & Pitches:
Deliver your vision to investors, partners and C-suite boards with authority making “yes” the natural conclusion.
Creator-Economy Media:
Build a elegant, consistent presence across LinkedIn, podcasts and digital channels that work to build your legacy.
The Presence Atelier is delivered over several weekly sessions giving you time to practice and absorb the information in between.
Bespoke 3 to 4 week programs typically start at $3,000.
Available in person in Perth, WA, or Australia wide with a travel fee. Some pillars available online.
