The power of presence

The Embodied Speaking Institute is the only school that empowers speakers by working from the inside out, cultivating your unique and authentic embodied stage presence. Other teaching methods ingrain performance skills and drills that can create speakers who appear robotic rather than engaging and responsive to what’s alive in a room. ESI is about bringing your uniqueness to the stage, whatever that looks like.

ESI is for everybody who is interested in upping their presentation game, regardless of whether you present on a physical stage or not. ESI teaches embodied presence as a pathway to expressing yourself. Our students come from all walks of life and train with us for both professional and personal reasons. 

Whether you’re a doctor, lawyer, work in corporate, or you’re a yoga teacher, author, coach or facilitator, if you’re interested in enhancing the way you tell your story to the world, ESI is for you. 

And beginner or seasoned pro, we welcome students at every skill level as our courses will take what you do on stage – or the stage of life – to the next level.

We offer a range of courses to suit every lifestyle and schedule. Please take a look at our course offers for specific details on course requirements and duration.

Billionaie investor Warren Buffet has stated that the best investment he has ever made was a public speaking course. And it’s often said that public speaking is a #1 fear of many people. This even extends to the many figurative ‘stages’ we have to stand on in daily life, whether socially, in our relating to others, or professionally. We believe that learning how to express your authentic self is one of the best investments you can make. Not only is it the easiest way to scale your message and/or product, but being skilled at authentic self-expression – from the heart – will open up new doorways in your life experience.

Online learning is easy, if not easier than a traditional academia. Studying online, the usual boundaries caused by location and time constraints are eliminated, meaning you are free to study where and when you want at your own pace. In our experience, the learning experience is just as effective as real life classes, if not more. Studying online lets you review the content as many times as you like in your own time. Of course, you will need to be able to self-manage your time and be organized, but with our help, you’ll soon find yourself settling into a comfortable rhythm of study.
