As a result, they diminish their impact and the world loses out on their unique talents and perspectives.

Perform At Your Peak

WHAT GREAT LEADERS CAN LEARN FROM GREAT ACTORS

Great actors and great leaders are a lot alike. Both radiate a confident and magnetic vocal, physical and energetic Charismatic that inspires others to trust them, and to follow them.

Both consistently perform at their peak under immense pressure and scrutiny, managing with ease the fears or negative beliefs that could stop them from sharing their wisdom, message, or big idea with others. Both understand the value of knowing how to prepare for a spotlight moment, and how to recover when things go awry. And both are committed to practices that, over time, and with conscious application, develop presence mastery.

The ability to be consistently real, relaxed and radiantly present in high pressure, high-stakes interviews and performances is something Eleni Kelakos struggled mightily to achieve during auditions as a young actress in New York City. For a long, tough, time, her auditions were woefully inconsistent, with a yo-yoing level of presence and performance.

Fortunately, master acting teachers came to her rescue, teaching her methods to expand her unique presence, manage performance anxiety, and perform under pressure with a greater degree of confidence and consistency. Those methodologies changed her work, and her life. And they formed the foundations of the 5 Principles of Charismatic Presence—the path to presence mastery that she teaches her executive coaching and training clients today.  

In this interactive program, Eleni shares those methodologies and the stories that shaped them, encouraging audience members to commit to the path of presence mastery, so they can speak, lead and share their big idea with a confident, consistent presence that moves hearts, minds, and mountains.
