Foundations of Presence
This is our flagship introductory course, designed for those who want to build a solid foundation in public speaking. Over six weeks, you will learn the core principles of the Lumina Method, focusing on breath control, vocal variety, and basic narrative structure. We prioritize small class sizes to ensure you receive personalized attention and plenty of stage time. By the end of this course, you will have the confidence to speak clearly and effectively in any professional setting, from team meetings to client presentations. This course is specifically structured to help you manage stage fright and replace it with a calm, commanding presence.
- Breath control and vocal resonance techniques

Narrative Mastery
Take your storytelling to the next level with our advanced narrative architecture program. This course is for speakers who already have foundational confidence but want to learn how to weave complex data and technical information into unforgettable human-centric stories. You will dive deep into the psychology of persuasion, learning how to use metaphor, analogy, and narrative tension to drive your message home. We look at classical rhetorical devices and modern story arcs, helping you build presentations that resonate on both an intellectual and emotional level. Ideal for technical leaders and creative professionals.

You will work with a dedicated coach to refine your 'signature style' and learn how to maintain your presence even in high-stakes boardroom environments or hostile media interviews. This course includes professional video analysis and real-time biofeedback to help you master your internal state and external projection.
- Micro-expression and gesture refinement
- Managing difficult Q&A and interruptions

We follow a rigorous process of ideation, script refinement, and high-fidelity rehearsals. You will learn how to distill your message into a single 'idea worth spreading' and how to deliver it with the precision and emotional impact that these platforms require. We provide end-to-end support, including slide design consultation and stage movement choreography. Limited to 4 participants per session for maximum individual coaching time.
