FOR THE GLOBAL EXECUTIVE

Welcome to Minita Studio, an executive playground where you can build your confidence, hone your content, and master your communication skills. Did you know 93% of all people admit to falling asleep or daydreaming during a meeting or presentation?

As speakers and leaders in business, our communication skills must be clear, concise, credible, confident, and compelling. We are faced with the challenge of an audience with a shorter attention span than ever before. So, how do we keep our audience engaged?

We start by nailing that first impression. It takes 7 seconds for someone to make around 11 snap judgments about you. They gage whether you are professional in your career, personable in your interactions, persuasive with your arguments, and truly passionate about your message in a matter of moments. We will work with you make sure those moments are presented in the way you want your audience to perceive you.

We drive towards total congruency of how you speak (vocal dynamics), how you move (posture, gestures, spatiality), and what your message is (honing your content). We give you the tools to eliminate stage fright, answer difficult questions, speak to senior leadership, and present yourself as a thoughtful leader in your community.
