​Why come

​If any of these land, this room is for you:

• ​You freeze or ramble in investor meetings or on stage.

• ​You never know what to do with your hands or where to look.

• ​You sound smart but don’t look like a confident CEO.

• ​You’re self-conscious about your accent or voice.

• ​You cringe watching your or your founder’s talks back.

​You’ll learn how to align your thinking, emotions, and body so you feel grounded, credible, and relaxed under pressure — in investor meetings, negotiations, and on camera.

​What you’ll do

• ​Learn how misalignment between mind, emotions, and body silently kills credibility.

• ​Get a simple, repeatable presence framework for pitches and high‑stakes meetings.

• ​See hot-seat breakdowns with live feedback from Joe and the room.

• ​Walk away with a practical presence checklist you can use immediately.
