Our delightful approach to feedback brings fun to the rehearsal. Your classmates provide the upbeat feedback you need to acquire the charisma that magnetizes people to your cause.
We humans possess two bodies. One is the biological assembly that enables billions of cells to work together seamlessly. The other is the electrical field that forms the life force we know as ourselves. Every time electricity swirls through your chest, your heart muscle pulses in time. Your magnetic field coordinates our organs and endocrine systems. You literally electrify your audience. People resonate in tune with you.
Bright people have brilliant insights. Your intelligence has qualified you as an expert in your field. The Art of Persuasion shows you how to move other people to share your perspective and lend their talents to your endeavors.
Team leaders and top influencers find common ground by aligning their words, expressions, and movements with their true intentions. When your speeches, talks, and conversations create genuine awareness, your power of persuasion attracts raving fans.
Average performers hold strong opinions. They fall back on argument, debate, and coercion to convince others. People commonly try to dominate others by being right and making other people wrong. Such tactics don’t cut it in the great game of business.
In this course you will develop superior patterns of communication that inspire eager participation. This exciting course challenges you to deliver your message with clarity and powerful feelings. At Sage, we learn by doing. You will learn to harness your physical sensations to reduce emotional resistance in others and to inspire their alliance with you.

One-in-a-million people who speak in public or over social media have the skills to inspire without resorting to hype or temporary motivational techniques. Like Abraham Lincoln and Nelson Mandela, you can join the ranks of truly influential people by speaking self-evident truths as they unfold. When you become the voice of enfolding events, people tune in. They want to find your wavelength.
The Sage Method provides superior linguistic and behavioral patterns that earn trust and loyalty. If you aspire to greatness, this course will give you the perspectives you need to reach the top.
Stand and Deliver
Powerful persuasion is a skill. It isn’t a talent that some people have and others don’t. Public speaking is a craft, like carpentry or piano. Your voice becomes an instrument that fascinates and inspires.
By attending this course and putting in the practice, you will master the art of lighting up an audience and filling a room with excitement. The Art of Persuasion provides the rehearsal you need to make sizzling presentations that attract large, enthusiastic audiences.
Your success in business and life comes down to your ability to move people with your message. Great training takes poise, timing, vitality, strategy and just a touch of magic. The finest leaders coach from the heart.
You already have flair. What you need is the coaches who can fan that spark to a flame to a raging wildfire. The coaches and trainers at Sage University can bring out the traits that make you a unique and powerful force. They can see the hidden brilliance in you and encourage your aliveness until you are glowing. Your presentations will sparkle and shine.
Virtually all public speaking courses can teach you how to move, to speak, and to present a logical, solid message. But they use old-fashioned criticism and teaching techniques that put you in your head. Our systemic approach expands your awareness so that you can accurately sense the flow of energy and the waves of vitality that bring your message alive.
The Art of Persuasion will show you how to lead the field. Our unique approach offers continuous instruction, practice, and feedback, until you can awaken the aliveness of your audiences and hold them spellbound for hours with your oratory.
Forget about hype and pomp. Here you will learn to see and feel the field of vitality that people share, and to fuse your passion with theirs. You will learn how to view the audience as a living system that responds like a fine orchestra to your words, tones and vibrations.
Storytelling: The finest speakers are those who tell the best stories. The essence of every film, book and presentation is the storyline. You can learn to tell your own story in a way that makes people appreciate their lives more deeply. You will also learn to elicit the stories of other people by being so inspired by them that you bring out their brilliance.
Our “learning by doing” approach puts you on stage for feedback and instruction, until you can weave the threads of life into an exciting narrative that puts people on the edge of their seats. Every great speaker and leader throughout history had a knack for teaching the deepest truths with elegant stories.
Strategic Intervention: People yearn for a better life, but they are all caught in double binds – mental entanglements that trap them in lives of boredom and loneliness. An effective presentation does more than inform and entertain. Your message opens new dimensions of awareness that free their hearts and minds.
We will show you how to develop proven strategies that transform peoples’ lives. As you deliver your insights, people will become aware of their unconscious patterns. Through your strategies, they will discover new career options.
Only the finest speakers can really raise eyebrows with intelligent, insightful strategies that deliver substance. Your vitality and your clarity will change minds and open hearts. People will make new choices that really make a difference in their lives.
Appreciative Inquiry: You can learn to ask questions that reveal peoples’ finest qualities to them. Your deep curiosity unlocks peoples’ minds. They will remember you, and they will tell their friends.
A great presentation makes people curious by planting penetrating questions in their minds. When you learn the right questions and master the timing of inquiry, you will move people through profound stages of understanding. People will come away with an experience of their own genuine quality. Your curiosity and appreciation gives them a glimpse of their intrinsic value.
The Fun in Function: There is a great secret known only to the finest performers and speakers—when you are highly amused, you are highly amusing. Your audience responds to the vibration of your pleasure even more than to what you say or do.
We have all been subjected to trite, boring presentations by schoolteachers, professors, speakers, and trainers. To achieve maximum success you must find your own true voice. This training is designed to enlighten and enliven you, so that you naturally generate enthusiasm.
Energy—The Invisible Force: When you speak to people, you are always presenting in two domains simultaneously. One is the physical room filled with minds and bodies exchanging words and ideas. The other is the field of information and energy that fills the room. Only rarely do you find a speaker that can bring people to vivid states of awareness. Few coaches, trainers or speakers have the tools to enliven an audience.
Here you learn to “read” the vitality level of a room. You discover how to triangulate your teams to power the engines of communication. We will spend 4 days together rehearsing superior observation and feedback skills until you can conduct a meeting like a great maestro conducts an orchestra.
Find Your Authentic Theme: Your first challenge is to find your authentic message so that you really have something to say. At Sage we listen deeply until your hidden gifts and talents appear.
Most speeches, and presentations are based on the singular notion that there is a problem and that the content of your training will solve it. But that theme gets old. Real life is more fascinating than just problem-solving. Great trainers offer innovative themes that inspire and transform. Your true message emanates from the very core of your being.
Influential speakers surprise and delight audiences with parables and descriptions of events that leave people astonished and hungry for more. Eloquence is more than fine words. Your intrinsic theme electrifies. We will show you how to discover the promise in you that wins credibility.
How it Works: Classes begin with intense, in-depth interviews that will arouse your curiosity and awaken abilities you didn’t know you had. You will find yourself appreciating the commitment level and participation of your teammates more and more with each passing hour.
Soon you will be part of a team spirit so strong that you will feel like a champion. Then you will take the stage to pour your heart and soul into raising the intelligence and energy of your teammates. They will egg you on—no advice or criticism—just loud clear feedback that will feel just right.
