SAVE YOUR SEAT

You have put in the work. You have the expertise. So why doesn't your voice carry the weight of your leadership role?

In just 60 minutes, discover how to speak with the confidence and clarity that match your leadership level.

Here's what's really happening

 

You walk into that boardroom, or join that Zoom panel, prepared. But when you start speaking, the energy shifts. Someone interrupts. Eyes glaze over. And your point gets lost before you even finish making it.

 

It's not your expertise. It's how
you're communicating it:

  • Maybe you ramble when the stakes are high.
  • Maybe you over-explain, trying to prove you know what you're talking about.
  • Maybe you have brilliant ideas that are clear in your mind, but they don't come through.

Because you're more worried about your
 accent than your message. 

The challenges most communication training rarely address are:


The fact that you're navigating high-stakes moments in a language that isn't your first; fighting impostor syndrome, and second-guessing yourself, all while trying to project the authority your role demands.
Most programs teach you what to say. But no one teaches you how to command a room under pressure…with trust, influence and an authentic executive presence.

And in today's AI-driven world, these human skills are more important than ever. Because they can determine whether you're overlooked or recognized as a key voice in your industry.

No matter how qualified you are, if you can't project confidence and clarity in critical moments, you won't get the visibility, opportunities, or recognition you've earned.

But here's the good news: these skills can be learned and mastered. And that's exactly what this masterclass is about.

If you've ever felt like:

  • You struggle to deliver ideas in a clear, concise, and impactful way.
     
  • You undersell yourself because you ramble or over-explain.
     
  • Your accent feels like a liability instead of an advantage.

      

  • You're a leader in substance, but it's not coming through in how you communicate.
     
  • You're waiting for permission to speak up, instead of owning your authority.
     
  • You're missing promotions, high-visibility projects, or speaking opportunities because you're not confident in how you communicate

     

      

Then this masterclass is for you.

SAVE YOUR SEAT

 In this 60-minute masterclass, you'll discover:

 

  • Why you're not "bad at this". Powerful communication is a skill anyone can master, not a talent you're born with. 
  • The 3 invisible mistakes sabotaging your authority right now, and why you should avoid them.

  • Your first look at the VIP Framework™, a simple formula for organizing any business point so it lands with impact.

  • Why this keeps happening to you, the hidden patterns that keep you overlooked in meetings, make you dread pitches, and have you second-guess yourself from daily interactions to career-defining moments.

     

 

What changes when you get this right:

your ideas stick the first time you say them. People listen, you stop questioning yourself, and you finally feel like your voice matches your expertise.

So how do you go from invisible to impactful?

 
You learn from people who've made that transformation themselves, and who've spent years studying how the world's most influential communicators command attention.

your voice into a force that drives real impact.

This masterclass is for you if:

  • You're a bilingual executive, professional, or entrepreneur but you know your communication skills don’t match your leadership level.
     
  • You're rising toward executive leadership and want to develop the communication skills that will set you apart and drive the visibility and promotions you deserve.
     
  •  You're already speaking in meetings, on panels, or in front of clients, but your message isn't carrying the impact and authority it should.
     
  • You need to pitch ideas, inspire teams, or position yourself with confidence in high-stakes business situations.
     
  • You face impostor syndrome and second-guess yourself when the pressure is on, and you want practical tools to project confidence in any room. 

  •  You struggle with rambling, over-explaining, or losing your train of thought in critical moments.

     

  • You're ready to stop downplaying your voice and start communicating with the clarity, confidence, and presence your expertise deserves.

What leaders say about working with Mariana & Graciela:

“NOW I’M A MORE EFFECTIVE AND CONFIDENT COMMUNICATOR”

“Working with Mariana and her team has improved how I communicate as an executive, in just a few sessions! I chose her based on her experience and reputation as a communicator. She delivered detailed, actionable feedback—not just general praise or critiques.
She addressed every aspect of public speaking, from preparation to stage and video presence, whether sitting or standing. Her coaching improved my pace, volume, and posture, all while helping me maintain an authentic, approachable executive presence. Mariana and her team also identified subtle but impactful areas I had overlooked, making me a far more effective and confident communicator.”

 

María A. Bracho
Chief Technology Officer, Americas

“I FELT MORE CLARITY AND CONFIDENCE”

"Working with Mariana and Graciela was a game changer. I didn’t realize how many blind spots I had, especially my love affair with filler words (turns out ‘uhm’ isn’t a leadership strategy!). After just two sessions, I felt clearer, more confident, and honestly so glad I invested in myself."

After just 60 minutes with Mariana & Graciela, you'll walk away with:

  • A one-page worksheet to start practicing right away.

  • The 3 most common mistakes that undermine your executive presence, so you can recognize them and stop making them immediately.

  • The beginning of your transformation, where you'll get a preview of each pillar of the VIP Framework™ and see how it structures any message for maximum impact.

  • A new way to see your background, not as something to apologize for, but as the unique edge that makes your communication memorable.

  • A clear picture of what's possible, through real stories of executives who went from invisible to impactful using this method.

  • Direct answers to your biggest communication challenges, through a live Q&A where Mariana and Graciela address your most pressing questions.

  • Permission to stop waiting, and start owning your voice like the leader you already are.

Your voice deserves to be heard.

You've earned your seat at the table. But here's what happens if you keep waiting:
In six months, you'll still be on the sidelines, watching others lead the crucial conversations, win the clients, and seize the opportunities you're qualified for.

 

You'll still be second-guessing yourself in critical moments. And you’ll still be overlooked for promotions or high-visibility projects because you haven't learned how to communicate your value with clarity and confidence.

 

 

The gap between being invisible and having impact isn't your expertise. It's how you communicate it.

And in a world where AI is automating technical work, your ability to build trust, inspire teams, and command attention is what will make you indispensable.
