Hi, I'm
Misty Megia!
I’m a corporate speaker, creative director, producer, and educator on a mission to help women and underrepresented groups gain the confidence needed to claim their space on stage. If there’s one thing more than two decades of public speaking has taught me, it’s to never underestimate the power of your words.
The mere thought of presenting to a group used to leave me shaking in my sequined high tops. For years, I thought I was born a bad speaker until one day, I found myself in a theatre course and everything changed.
By learning how to speak with confidence, I transformed my shy, insecure self into an award-winning corporate speaker. By the time I was 22, I was representing companies I worked for globally and soon found myself presenting to audiences of thousands. CEOs would approach me after seeing me speak and offer me jobs on the spot. All because of the confidence I portrayed and the strategies and information I was willing to be a voice for. I went on to lead global teams, including for the Fortune 500 company Intuit.
I KNOW YOU CAN DO THIS, TOO.
One speech has the power
to change your life.
I’ve spoken on some of the biggest stages in the corporate world, ranging from virtual audiences in the tens of thousands to keynoting in-person events of more than 5,000. My true passion is helping C-suite executives and corporate leaders own any main stage in the world, virtually and IRL.
After completing this
course you could…
Be on stage at a keynote and get a new job offer right after because your speech was so good (yes, this has really happened!)
Have people coming up to you after your presentation to tell you that for the first time, they felt like someone understood them
Become the go-to person for your company or division
Finally be seen by peers and staff as the powerful communicator and thought leader you are!
Your voice can open
career doors
you never imagined possible.
Get clear-eyed confidence from any stage,
and articulate the story you were born to tell.
