The best speakers don’t just deliver words.

They shift energy. They breathe life into silence.

They don’t just speak to be heard but to help others remember who they are.
If that’s the kind of presence you want to bring to the mic, Stage Present is for you.

Whether you're hosting an intimate retreat or standing in front of thousands, this guide will help you show up with purpose, clarity, and heart.

What you’ll discover inside

Mindfulness practices to ground your energy before – and while – you speak

Presence rituals to soothe nerves and speak from a place of calm clarity

Tools to read the energy of any room and respond with intention

Soulful scripts for powerful openings, meaningful closings, and in-the-moment magic

Behind-the-scenes insights from decades of hosting stages around the world

Why I Wrote This

I’ve held the mic in living rooms and arenas, from barangay fiestas in the Philippines to global stages with Mindvalley.

What I’ve learned is this: It’s not performance that moves people. It’s presence.

Stage Present is my love letter to every stage I’ve ever stood on, as well as a soulful guide for those ready to speak not just with words, but with heart.

Inside are the rituals, reflections, and real-life lessons I’ve gathered over decades – through the NBA, retreats, and every room I’ve ever helped come alive.

If you’re ready to move energy, build connection, and speak from your center, this is for you.

Want personal guidance in your own speaking journey?

If Stage Present resonates with you, and you’re craving a more grounded, confident, and soulful way…

For a limited time, I’m opening one-on-one coaching sessions for:
Speakers and facilitators preparing for their next big moment
Leaders holding space in their communities
Conscious creators who want to refine their voice and impact

We'll move from presence, not performance.
And together, we’ll shape how you show up in the spaces that matter.
