Theatre of
Public Speaking Program

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.

Your next big presentation doesn’t have to be coupled with late-night anxiety attacks, or the recurring nightmare you’re on stage and have completely forgotten what you were going to say, sweaty palms and shaky knees, wondering if you really are the right person to speak on your topic.

You can capture the attention of audiences of any size, virtually or in-person, leaving your audience feeling seen and heard by the power of your message.

Your audience will come away feeling motivated, inspired, and transformed. They’ll see you as a leader who shares your expertise with confidence while lifting up those around them. And your audience will want to do the same.

Discover the specific techniques and strategies for delivering a quality speech or presentation that leaves your audience going: “I feel like she gets me. She makes me feel like I can change the world.”

Learn the skills you need to succeed on stage to scale your impact and rocket- launch your career.

You have everything it takes to be a dazzling, confident, mesmerizing speaker. You just need the right tools and training to bring your true self to the surface.

Let’s call ‘cut’ on the movie that shows you staying right where you are instead of going after the speaking gigs that will skyrocket your career trajectory and help you create the legacy that you’ve dreamed of. There are people out there who need to hear your voice, your words, and your story, because they’ve never seen anyone just like you on the stage.

By learning how to put the focus on what the audience wants and needs to hear, you too can unleash the stories, confidence, and passion you’ve held inside yourself all along. By helping your audience feel seen, they’ll finally begin to see you and learn from your unique gifts and experiences.

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.

“Misty's tips and tricks translate so well into the business world of presentations— you'll be amazed at the small changes that have such a big impact.

Recently, I had to give a presentation to leaders at my company. The first thing I made sure to do was practice, practice, practice. This was the mantra stuck in my head from Misty Megia, who told me "Professional athletes practice. So should presenters." That simple tip has made all the difference in my confidence level as a speaker. That and all the theater secrets! And combine that with Misty's unflagging coaching and cheerleading? If you present anything, ever, and you haven't worked with her yet? Run. Sign up now. It will be the best decision you make today."

-Jeannie Ruesch

DIRECTOR OF MARKETING, AUTHOR / BILL.COM
“Misty Megia has helped me show up dynamically and authentically, both in person and online.

Along with guidance for the strategic launch of a live program, she coached me on what I do well as a trainer and where I can improve, all with the signature Misty smile. She’s brilliant, strategic, and—dare I say—a creative genius. Thanks, in part, to the many hours we’ve spent discussing business and marketing strategy, I’ve seen my audience nearly double and my program change lives. I’m so grateful. If Misty is involved, you know it’s going to be great! Highly, highly, highly recommend!”

-Stacy Ennis

-Mindi Wernick

FINANCIAL REPRESENTATIVE / LEE-NOLAN ASSOCIATES, LLC
“Misty Megia is one of the most welcoming and collaborative directors that I have had the opportunity to work with.

She does a great job of analyzing text and conveying the intention, while also being very receptive to the individual actor’s point of view. When working with Misty, an actor never feels pressured or misunderstood. The goal with Misty is always authenticity. She has a natural way of working that allows her performers to open up and really put themselves into the text to create an authentic performance.”

The energy in the room instantly changes the minute she steps on stage and you just know your attendees are in for an experience they will never forget! The pure joy and enthusiasm she incorporates and brings to her theatrical presentations is unmatched. I highly recommend hiring Misty Megia if you are looking to elevate your event to the next level.”
