Inspiration Your Audience Can Use

Whenever you host a speaker, you are putting the valuable time of your people at risk. Many speakers can hype up an audience, but after it’s over, people often don’t know what to do with that energy, because the speaker hasn’t given them anything specific to do.

SagePresence speakers inspire audiences by giving material they can use immediately, with simple solutions that work. Our goal with every speech is to elevate your people by providing an experience of genuine value that they can use.

Our presentations come from 20+ years of applying our presence solutions to the world of professional service. We can center them on the material from our two books, Winning AEC Interviews and Winning Virtual AEC Interviews, or draw from our history as filmmakers helping technical professionals use solutions from the film set to represent their firms more effectively in business development.

“The SagePresence presentation was absolutely amazing, with high audience engagement and insight.”
Bethany J. Rademaker
Director of Events, ACEC Illinois
