Drop the Act Workshop™
Presence and Confidence in Real Conversations
Athletes have the practice field and actors have rehearsal. Most of us have no psychologically safe space to get better at live, in person communication when it matters. Drop the Act is a highly interactive, in room workshop that helps you show up with more presence, clarity, and confidence in real conversations, from interviews and pitches to high stakes relationship moments and leadership.
LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT TRAINING
The Cost of Poor Communication
Miscommunication quietly taxes productivity and confidence across organizations—think lost hours per week and six-figure annual drag at scale. We focus on fast, measurable gains in meetings, client conversations, presentations, and Q&A—where clarity, brevity, and presence convert directly into outcomes.
$12,506
Per Employee / Year
Lost in time and productivity annually due to miscommunication.
7.47
Hours Lost Weekly
Equivalent to nearly 19% of a workweek, wasted on communication.
$1.25M
For Large Organizations
The annual impact on productivity for a company with 100 employees.
Beyond direct costs, poor communication creates a confidence gap and revenue risk - 40% of knowledge workers and 17% of leaders report low confidence in external communication, leading to breakdowns that can cost over $50,000 per year.
