Sage Presence About Banner

ABOUT

SagePresence is a partnership of award-winning filmmakers Dean Hyers and Pete Machalek that helps professionals and organizations present themselves with winning presence.

Our clients recognize that they present themselves all the time. Whether they’re interacting with individual decision-makers or formally speaking to a room full of them, opportunities to win others over crop up constantly.

We call these opportunities make-or-break moments.

When our clients face these make-or-break moments, they feel like they’re walking in front of a camera or on-stage with all eyes turned to them. They feel like it’s all up to them to carry the moment. They want to meet these moments with authenticity, confidence and influence.

Who would be better to help them get there than filmmakers with an expertise in message design and facilitating top-notch performance?

We show our clients how to bring their very best to their make-or-break moments, so that they forge inspiring connections that call others forward, design compelling messages that lead audiences where they need to go, and present those messages with dynamic delivery.

Working with our clients exactly the way that we work with actors for the screen, we deliver our game-changing technology through keynote presentations, group workshops, private coaching sessions, and online products.
