Maia Speaks

In 1987, I started on my journey to Powerful Presence when I created a short training program called Stress Busters. It shortly became the keynote Stress Arresters, which launched my speaking career and become a successful PBS video in 1995.

Since my start with Stress Arresters, I have expanded my client work with workshops, teleclasses and coaching. I would love to bring these offerings to your next conference or convention—or to your group or association meeting.

I recently presented “Yes, You Can Market Your Business with Speaking” to the Cleveland Coaches Federation. The two-part video can be found here and here.

The Power of Your Presence

There are some people who “have you at hello”—there is something so compelling about their presence that they are simply magnetic. That magnetism can be vibrant or peaceful; whatever its form, it is the essence of Powerful Presence.

In this program you will learn the secrets to Powerful Presence:

  • The three Beliefs that create unstoppable confidence.
  • The three Abilities that create unshakeable resilience.
  • The three Actions that create transform experience.

This program can be presented in 20 to 60 minutes.

Dance with Whatever Shows Up!

Circumstances can be beyond our control—our responses to them are ours to decide. Using stories, metaphors and examples from my own life and the lives of my clients, I show you the power of dancing in the moment and exactly how to do it. You will discover:

  • the connection between Attention and Results
  • how to shift your perspective
  • the power of a well-placed “Yes … and”

This program can be presented as a keynote, a breakout session or a half/full-day training.

Stop Your Communication Breakdowns!

If it weren’t for other people, communication wouldn’t be such a challenge! This program is fun and very funny—as well as entertaining, energizing and illuminating.

I show you how to successfully engage with the people who you find to be the most difficult, as well as to enrich all of your conversations with the people who matter the most to you.

Using stories and anecdotes from my audiences and the strategies I have developed over 25 years, I will help you to transform your conversations and your relationships.  You will leave with:

  • The power of shifting your perspective
  • The secrets to creating rapport with anyone
  • Three distinctions that can transform any conversation

This program can be presented as a keynote, a breakout session or a half/full-day training.

Yes, You Can Market Your Business with Public Speaking

If you’re a business owner or solopreneur, you’re the face of your business. If speaking in public is not a positive experience for you, odds are high that you don’t do it. This wouldn’t be a problem, except that it’s hard to get to know you, like you or trust you if your potential customers can’t experience you in person. Speaking in public is the most effective way to for people to get to know you and your business.

  • Examine the power of Attention to transform your speaking challenges
  • Learn a simple structure to present your information to any audience in a way that makes your prospects want to contact you immediately
  • Discover the one secret of great speakers that will result in your audiences feeling that they know you, like you, and trust you

This program can be presented as a keynote, a breakout session or a half/full-day training.

“Maia is the most powerful presenter that I have ever seen! Her stage presence controls the energy in any room that she is in. Her audience adores her …. This is a professional who knows how to engage, impact, and take her audience on a ride that causes life changing behavior and thinking to occur. If you haven't seen her in action, you are missing out. Talent like this is very rare!”
