ELITE PUBLIC SPEAKING COURSE
ELITE PUBLIC SPEAKING COURSE: CADENZA
Become a Charismatic Speaker even if you dislike presentations, media appearances, talking on video or public speaking.
VIP SPEAKER TRAINING FOR CEO’S, EXECUTIVES, EXPERTS, ACADEMICS, ENTREPRENEURS & FOUNDERS
Stage fright hits with a unique cluster of symptoms for every person. Which calls for personalised strategies.
Presenting anxiety is entirely normal whether in front of an audience, in a pressure-cooker meeting, investor pitch, or behind the camera lens.
Freezing up on stage, moving too much or too little, struggling to project your voice tone or feeling out of sync with your audience are just a few of the challenges we can face when public speaking.
You’re not alone.
If you’ve ever wanted to set the perfect tone for your company with charismatic presentations, media appearances and elegant speaking but have already lost time searching for public speaking courses in Melbourne and feel little inclination to join a generic public speaking class, you should consider our VIP Speaker training for CEOs and Founders. We will train you in the niche tactics you need to become a vocally influential speaker in a way that accelerates your brand and builds your industry visibility.
Because the last thing you want is to be invited to speak for a huge and unexpected opportunity and not be ready.

Meet your Executive Eloquence Specialist
Dr. Sarah Lobegeiger de Rodriguez: Executive Eloquence Specialist
PhD (Opera), MMus, MSpPath, Cert. Practicing Speech Pathologist
After working for over a decade as an executive speaking consultant, voice coach and speech pathologist, I noticed that many public speaking programs leave out theatrical voice training and the detailed science-backed solutions communication research offers. As a result, most presentation training options don't focus on personalised training in a way that gives you a transformative experience and method unique to your persona and visibility goals for your industry, personality and unique communication style. While Toastmasters and group workshops are a great way to cut your teeth on stage, the generic approach and time commitment involved can have a limiting impact on getting the tangible outcome you need, especially if you're a flat-out entrepreneur or founder with limited scope available to invest in time-consuming group sessions on weeknights.
This is why I've designed a richly-packed public speaking course that allows you to get it done, in person, with me so that you can be ready at the last minute or at the best moment right away to give the presentation of your life. Rather like public speaking triage, with high-level expert crisis care geared to CEOs, entrepreneurs and founders, so that you can walk away buoyant and upskilled, ready for any high-level presentation, media appearance or curveball opportunity that will propel you forward as an industry leader.
Sometimes speaking and media opportunities come up out of the blue. There is no way that long-winded generalised public speaking courses can prepare you for an appearance that needs elite presentation skills.
This is why I’ve created this public speaking course and structured it as an intensive so you can get it done, once and for all.

Client Story
Back in 2018, I was contacted by a landscape architect who was on the path to developing into a global industry leader in the design space for their ingenious climate solutions. My new client had to prepare her first Ted Talk. Although they had presented small talks before, they were eager to reach their audience naturally and craft their presentation skills to add more of a human touch and build rapport with the viewer.
It turns out this was a brilliant goal because my client’s Ted Talk to date has just under 2 million views with over 58,000 likes, and they have since been invited to speak at numerous global events and even made it into Time Magazine and the New York Times.
In just 12 minutes on stage, our client built their brand and influence at a global level. What did it take?
Obviously, they had years of experience in their industry niche to become an expert, but regarding the training it took to get their message across in a way that resonated with millions of people, 5 hours of work with me.
This is just one of many industry leaders we've trained at the brink of their viral public speaking breakthrough.
So how did we partner with our client to get them ready?
You need considerable niche skills to prepare to step on stage with impeccable confidence to deliver an elite and memorable presentation.

Frequently Asked Questionst
You have questions, we have answers.
Here are the common questions that we get and our answers.
I’ve never heard of a VIP day. What is it?
A VIP day is a day that gives you total access for one full day, to an industry expert, providing you with a thorough, personalised and fast solution for your needs.
Who exactly is this VIP Day public speaking course for?
Sarah Geiger International’s presentation training is best suited to time-strapped people who know how they communicate on stage, to the media or in the public eye directly impacts their business ventures, career potential and credibility as an industry leader or public figure.
I’m not a CEO, Founder, Executive or Entrepreneur, would this VIP day be suitable for my public speaking training?
Although this public speaking course is geared towards CEOs, Founders, Entrepreneurs and executives, the beauty of the program is that Sarah tailors your VIP day to your needs so that your bespoke goals are achieved. If you're unsure whether your specific public speaking training goals will suit this program get in touch with Sarah.
I've already tried public speaking courses but didn't follow through because I'm too busy, would this even work for me?
The best thing about this public speaking course in Melbourne is that it can be done in a day. The presentation skills training has been designed for people that work in high-powered roles who can't commit to a regular time frame due to managing several companies, travelling extensively or simply not having the time to keep up consistent sessions. If this sounds like you, receiving your public speaking training in an intensive model across one day, is the best way to get strategies in place and give you the chance to dedicate focus across a feasible time frame given your mobile and heavily packed schedule.
Can I purchase this public speaking course for my employees or team members?
Absolutely! Sarah partners with Fortune 500 companies, corporate organisations and small to medium businesses to provide evidence-based communication and speaking solutions. If you’d like to sign up a team member or employee for a program get in touch with us.
What differentiates a CADENZA VIP Day from other Public Speaking Courses?
TBC
Is it possible to work on my public speaking skills in a 1-1 session? Don’t I need an audience to practice with?
Inspirational and impactful public speaking is the outcome of a systematic set of techniques, and while it may seem like public speaking training is only possible with an audience, consider this. The best athletes and performers all learn their techniques before they compete or perform for a crowd of spectators. The learning process for public speaking is best suited to 1-1 consultations so that you can efficiently drill and implement the speaking tools, visual delivery techniques and voice tone techniques. Don't bypass the hard work needed to gain the finesse your audience is hoping for by skipping straight to the stage. That would be like jumping into the pool without knowing how to swim. The best performers train in private to deliver seamlessly in public.
How much time do I have to dedicate to this program to see results?
Like any skill-based training program, the more you put into it, the more new skills will stick and outcomes will rise. However, since this program has been engineered for time-stretched people, Sarah has built the training so that at the end of your VIP day you will already have results and be more than ready for giving enhanced presentations, media appearances and speeches . If you wish to keep building on the techniques and skills mastered on your VIP day, you will
have the chance to do so. Your purchase also includes amazing bonuses like the 4-week mentorship program that helps you implement with total accountability via our walkie-talkie style interface. You'll also have access to a portfolio of Sarah's prototype tools for later use if you wish to add more finesse.
I’ve been asked to present for the media, onstage at a conference or on the news on a very tight time frame, can I book this day ASAP and will it give me what I need to present eloquently in the public eye?
Absolutely! This is precisely why Sarah offers this service. Speaking and media opportunities come up out of the blue. There is no way that long-winded generalised public speaking courses can prepare you for an appearance that needs elite presentation skills when you’re on a tight deadline. This is why we offer this elite public speaking course and have structured it as a VIP day so you can get it done in a day.
I’m really interested in this program but have a few more questions. Can I get them answered?
You sure can, check this page to get in touch.
I’m more interested in media training than public speaking training, would this VIP day be a suitable option for me?
The bespoke nature of this VIP day means that Sarah can give attention to the core goals and skills you have so if you’d like to focus more on media training, this is totally possible.
I've seen lots of public speaking courses online, is this public speaking training in person?
Yes, this training is delivered in person with Sarah.
I'm terrified to get on stage, present or speak in public, will this public speaking course help me overcome performance anxiety?
Yes, this training includes tools. and techniques to assist you in overcoming performance barriers, performance anxiety and high-level pressure on stage, behind the lens or behind a microphone. You’ll gain the scientific and artistic tools Sarah uses on stage for seamless vocal and physical performance as an opera singer that will revolutionise how you interact with your audience and internal fears so that you can feel polished and prepared for any audience size. This training is the most practical way to address the flight and fight response most people face on stage.
I love the sound of a VIP day but I would prefer sessions over a longer time frame. Is this possible?
Yes, in this case you could consider one of our High-Performance Communication programs which also address public speaking, media appearances and presentations but over personalised weekly/ fortnightly sessions.
If you’ve always wanted to charm, enthral and capture your listener with influential public speaking, presentations and media appearances, this is your opportunity to finally master new techniques and overcome past presenting setbacks.
Become a talented and charismatic speaker so you can confidently conquer presentations on stage, in the boardroom, and behind the lens and present authentically and influentially.
