Speak as Powerfully
as You Lead.
Bring a new level of confidence, clarity, and authenticity into executive meetings, critical presentations, and pivotal conversations so your message holds attention and lands with real impact.
Let’s see where your presence may be working against you and what it will take to feel grounded, confident, and deeply connected to your audience so your message truly lands.
Speak with calm, confident presence in high-stakes moments
Feel like yourself in every room you walk into
Get invited into the conversations that shape decisions
IS THIS YOU?
You’ve built a strong career by being thoughtful, prepared, and reliable. People trust your work. But when the moment is more visible – a key update, a leadership presentation, a big meeting where eyes are on you – something doesn’t quite translate.
You might recognize yourself here:
- You share important information, but the room stays quiet and polite with no real engagement
- You prepare thoroughly, but attention still drifts; you know it’s not the content; it’s the delivery.
- You’re clear and compelling one-to-one, but in larger settings you tighten up and don’t sound like yourself.
- In Q&A, you over-explain, drown people in detail, and leave unsure if your point really landed.
- You’re respected for your work but not always seen as the leader you know you are.
It’s not that you’re missing expertise. You’re missing a way of showing up in these moments that lets your presence carry the same weight as your ideas.
WHEN YOUR STAGE PRESENCE LANDS, it feels like this……
You walk into every room feeling steady, clear, and comfortable in your own skin.
When you speak, you connect. People lean in, not out.
You can share your ideas with clarity and calm, even when stakes are high or questions are tough.
You no longer sound generic, low-energy, or “over-polished.” You sound like you.
You’re being invited in more often: to brief the C-Suite, to contribute to strategic conversations, to represent your team or organization.
HOW I HELP YOU SUPERCHARGE YOUR EXECUTIVE STAGE PRESENCE
I work with experienced leaders who are strong on substance and ready to bring that same strength into the room, on stage, and on camera.
My approach blends three core elements:
1
The Inner Game
We start by grounding you in who you are at your best: your values, your voice, your lived experience. You’ll:
- Clarify the kind of leader you are and what you stand for.
- Identify what’s really getting in your way (it’s rarely just “nerves”).
- Examine and reshape the stories you tell yourself about being visible.
2
The Outer Game
Once you’re grounded in who you are and what you stand for, we focus on how you bring that into the way you speak and show up day to day. You’ll
- Learn to express who you are and what you stand for in a way that feels natural, not scripted.
- Align what you say and how you say it so your communication projects calm, self-assured leadership.
- Refine how you enter, speak, and engage so your authenticity is felt from the start.

Stage Presence in Action
Finally, we combine the Inner and Outer Game into how you actually show up in every space. You’ll:
- Bring your inner clarity and outer skills into real high-stakes situations without slipping into old habits.
- Create a simple presence playbook for how you prepare, center, open, respond, and close.
- Build a rhythm of practice, feedback, and reflection so connection, ease, and impact become your default.
Not a performance. Not a persona. Just you – clearly seen, deeply heard, and experienced as the leader you already are.
FOUR PATHS TO ELEVATE YOUR EXECUTIVE STAGE PRESENCE
All of my work is tailored to you, your role, and your current leadership moment. From this home base, there are four primary ways we can work together:
Own the Camera
When you’re leading through virtual meetings, presentations, and interviews and want to show up as clearly and confidently on screen as you do in person, this path is for you.
Own the Stage for Your Keynote
When you have one big moment coming up – a keynote, TED-style talk, conference presentation, or town hall – this path is for you.
Own Your Presence on Every Stage
When you are ready for deeper transformation of how you show up on every stage, in front of every audience and in high stake moments – this path is for you.
Own Your Story to Elevate Your Career
When you’re ready to step into leadership with presence and shape your next career chapter – this path is for you.
About erin.
I’m Erin Duffy, Executive Stage Presence Coach, and the founder of InspirationSQRD. For more than 30 years, I’ve lived in two worlds that shape everything I do now: leading creative teams in business and working as a professional singer and actor. I know what it feels like to be “on” in front of an audience, and I also know the quieter pressure of walking into a big meeting where your expertise is solid, but your confidence doesn’t quite walk in with you.
Over the years, I kept seeing the same thing: smart, capable leaders who were brilliant behind the scenes, but whose presence didn’t fully reflect the depth of who they are. That’s why my work sits at the intersection of inner clarity, outer expression, and stage presence. I help you connect your values, story, and lived experience to the way you speak, move, and show up in high-stakes meetings, presentations, and conversations, so you feel like yourself and others actually feel your message.
When we work together, you don’t get a performance coach barking techniques at you or a generic leadership script to memorize. You get a partner who listens closely, asks honest questions, and walks alongside you as you experiment, practice, and refine. My goal is simple: to help you feel grounded, confident, and authentically you, so your presence finally matches the leader you already know yourself to be.
When I started this business, I did it with one belief in mind:
“When you show up 100% your authentic self, you have no competition.”
That’s not a tagline for me. It’s the lens I use for everything we do together.
WHAT CLIENTS EXPERIENCE
From self-doubt to clear, confident communication.
“I’d been with my company for over 15 years when I realized my communication had lost focus. I was losing my audience before I even made my point, and I started doubting whether I was offering any real value when I spoke.
Working with Erin felt like a path of self-discovery rather than drills. She helped me understand my strengths, how I think, and how to speak from a place of inner knowledge and strength. Today, I’m clear, I’m confident, and I know how to meet my audience where they are without losing who I am.”
I stopped watering down my message and started sounding like myself.
“I came to Erin for executive stage presence coaching because I wanted to show up with more impact. From the beginning, she encouraged me to speak as I would to a single client, not to dilute my message for ‘mass appeal.’
It wasn’t always easy, but it was liberating. Now I have a simple question I ask myself with every video and talk: Am I showing up authentically as me? That clarity alone has changed how I share my work.”
I thought I was already good on stage. I didn’t expect this level of transformation.
“I’ve always considered myself a comfortable, confident speaker, so I wasn’t sure what I’d really gain. I assumed it would be generic advice about how to stand or make eye contact. Instead, we started with the Inner Game, and that changed everything. We peeled back the layers of who I am and what I can bring to the stage. I saw where I’d been holding myself back and learned how to move past it. Understanding how to present not just my content, but myself, was a game changer.”
