Cadenza
Speak with impact & confidence at work
Learn to speak with influence to anyone in high-pressure situations, no matter your personality style or leadership style.
It’s a three-second world.
Your words need to be ready.
But you can only learn to speak confidently with anyone anywhere, if you have the tools to transform your speaking logic & habits.
Staying where you are and doing the same things won’t create a different outcome if you can’t speak comfortably at work and lack influence in your organisation.
Hello, I’m
Sarah
Confident and Charismatic communication increases professional well-being, builds your earning potential and maximises career growth opportunities.
Studies prove that charismatic communicators garner influence, venture capital, trust, and credibility faster and outdo others in gaining and retaining management positions (Davis et al. 2017).
When led by charismatic leaders, teams also thrive in terms of productivity, work quality, job satisfaction, and morale (Michalsky, 2019).
Charismatic communication is a career catalyst.
I know this because investing in my communication skills helped me to bootstrap a global communication company as a young entrepreneur, which gave me a chance to:
Master of Speech Pathology, Master of Music (Opera Performance), BMus (Perf), BA(Eng and Philosophy), PhD Candidate (Opera)
She discovered how to be concise, refined her voice tone and assertive skills. As a result, Sophie achieved a fantastic outcome with increased clarity and confidence. She even spoke successfully in a Bloomberg interview a few months back and has just been promoted to Chief Finance Officer. Now Sophie is getting paid what she deserves and no longer missing out on promotions. If Sophie could get the result she dreamed of while working a full-time job with massive hours and studying her MBA simultaneously, you can too.
DR. JULIE B., Researcher, Lecturer, and Academic
My experience with Sara was excellent. Her personable and highly professional approach helped shift my thinking in relation to my voice. I found her responses and advice informative and credible, and I felt confident in the explanations and advice she gave me, knowing they were evidence-based.
I also found Sara’s approach very holistic rather than isolating the voice as the problem but instead thinking of the voice in relation to other aspects of me.
If you want to invest in yourself to improve many things of your communication style, this is the place to seek guidance from; you won’t regret it!
Keep in mind that you have to commit to practice on a daily though, but that’s what it is about, practice, practice, practice!
Also, Sara was fantastic all the way through. You can apply what you learn on a professional as well as on a personal level.
Very happy with the service.
1. Wonderful research-based resources
2. A strength-based approach that makes you feel more empowered.,
3. Heaps of strategies and frameworks that you can apply right away.,
4. Sara is amazing and down-to-earth.
The value of this training was tremendous for my personal and professional life, plus it’s tailored to your needs. I am in the business of talking a lot and connecting with people to create a positive impact on the listener. The training with Sara helped me to do this.
I found the elocution training to be so straightforward but very effective.
I improved my communication skills drastically.
A great addition to your toolkit if you are in a corporate or professional career. It has helped me a lot in communicating effectively. Highly recommended for professionals needing to work on the soft skills and presentation skills for better business and corporate careers.
I’ve worked with Sara for years and continue to do so yearly for my high-level career.
Her great expertise, passion, and thoroughness have tremendously supported me in university lecturing, international/national conference presentations, and most recently, addressing prestigious international bodies on the world stage.
My voice has gone from strength to strength. I would not hesitate to recommend her highly enough for your voice to reach its potential in performance and in life.
After my program with Sara, I successfully changed my career and landed a dream job at the most prestigious company in the field.
Having an upbeat and incisive expert to analyse and advise on my completely personalised concerns was amazing.
Having enabled a life-changing career on top of that, it becomes invaluable! I will say, though, that of course, you will need to put in the work like anything else and regularly practice the exercises to instill the change in speaking behaviours you are after.
Ultimately, what Sara provided me was such a niche and highly valuable service, and I can’t recommend it enough to anyone looking for that subtle yet powerful edge to lift their business persona and career.
You’ll have a system to evaluate your speaking to be ready for anything. I’ve developed it this way because life is unpredictable, and not everyone can book in a 1-1 communication strategy session before being thrown in the hot seat at work or personally. You want to have tools for the moment that will help you prepare the best response.
The key to speaking well in any conversation or presentation is having a flexible, fail-proof strategy.
I’ll teach you strategies that are easy to remember, even when you’re under stress.
Hear yourself speak as you’ve never imagined.
Yes, you can hone your speaking so that your message is razor-sharp, concise and engaging – without feeling anxious, apprehensive and overwhelmed.

What You Get When You Join Now
How Does The C-Suite Even Work?
The C-Suite is a tailored online course that delivers a total fix for your professional speaking.
I've designed the program with a strong focus on action-based learning to ensure practical outcomes and noticeable gains in your everyday speaking. My emphasis is on training you to enhance your leadership potential through communication tactics grounded in research that enrich your rapport building skills, assertiveness and influence.
The 5- core training modules emphasise growth for your workplace speaking, but you'll also pick up as many instant-fix solutions to add to your low key social interactions.
The training unfolds sequentially, moving through 30 engaging video lessons that cover comprehensive research-backed techniques to enhance your
- Speaking Comfort
- Logical Flow
- Social Intelligence
- Voice Tone
- Tactical Charisma & Leadership Potential
All video lessons are supported by ingenious playbooks, templates, and power sheets that enable you to practice your new skills and implement them fast into your daily life.
Who exactly is this program for?
The C-Suite was custom-built for detail orientated communicators who want to amplify the potential of their communication with a sharp focus on mastering the speaking skills to increase career growth opportunities.
The bulk of the content draws on robust research into executive communication, leadership presence, organisational influence and corporate communication.
Although designed with executives and emerging leaders in mind, the techniques are transferable for anyone who wants to increase their impact, influence and speaking comfort.
Will I get feedback on my speaking during the program?
The C-Suite is a complete online course, not a one to one coaching program, so there are no individual feedback sessions on your speaking. However, you will receive science-backed resources that allow you to skillfully appraise and evaluate your speaking like a communication scientist yourself.
The C-Suite has been built for the busy career professional with impromptu speaking demands. The outlined methods develop your ability to respond independently to pressing conflicts, stressful speaking scenarios, and unexpected conversational twists and turns. You don't need to book a time for a consultation and divulge private matters with a consultant when you're already juggling a hectic schedule. Instead, you'll have the tools to be autonomous and agile with your professional speaking by yourself after completing the modules.
Is the C-Suite suitable for me if English is not my first language?
Absolutely. You can apply the principles across all languages. Many of my clients are multi-lingual professionals seeking to increase their executive presence and speaking comfort to better career advancement. The C-Suite will give you a platform to advocate for your right to a seat at the table.
How much time will it take to complete the entire course?
Although you have one year of access to the C-Suite, you can consume it at the pace that suits you.
For example,
If you allocate an hour a day to the content, you should be able to get through all modules, power sheets and playbooks within six weeks max.
Implementation is best considered over a longer duration, so although you can manage to complete all modules within a tight time frame, I recommend engaging with the resources, templates and playbooks all year to ensure potent speaking growth occurs. I've built the program to train you in effective communication principles but, more importantly, to equip you with the tools you need to implement long term changes in your speaking skills and habits.
How much time do I have to dedicate to this program to see results?
The unique action-based learning focus of the C-Suite means you'll have tangible and active skills to implement quickly.
But, like all learning, long term gains are best achieved through detailed immersion, practice and refinement of your new skills.
The C-Suite guides you by the hand and sets up a new approach to evaluating your speaking. Once you've completed all the modules, you'll have a detailed and systematic framework that you can use for life to continue refining your professional speaking and take it to new levels.
Of course, the scope of your results depends on how far you want to take it! If your sights are on a CEO or executive role, this program will give you the tools to prepare your communication for long term large growth goals.
Is the C-Suite helpful for my workplace communication if I'm a strong speaker?
No matter your personality style and current speaking skills, the C-Suite is unique in how it integrates a framework for you to appraise, regulate and scale your speaking strengths. Communication is an umbrella term for a massive set of skills.
Since daily speaking is spontaneous, we can never fully anticipate risk. The further you progress in an organisation.
(ie., moving into managerial positions) the greater the risk. The skill to be precise with niche communication will amplify your influence and reduce your stress. Increasing your speaking logic and social intelligence will allow you to respond to interactions with increased finesse and cognitive clarity, especially when faced with a heavy workload, increased responsibility and leadership duties.
Numerous lessons are dedicated to refining your communication for team-based discussions, change management, and tactical empathy, giving you incredible leadership traction.
Will the C-Suite improve Public Speaking Skills?
Maybe you’re a CEO on the hunt for a program for your emerging executives, or perhaps you’re lying awake dreading tomorrow’s presentation; whatever it is, this course gives a total fix for all your career communication pressures, including presentation literacy!

But I'm Not A Confident Communicator...
This program starts with a complete module dedicated to speaking comfort. I've designed the C-Suite to be suitable for introverts and extraverts alike. Recent research in Communication Science proves that you can increase your charisma, leadership potential and speaking comfort, no matter your personality.
The C-Suite gives you the tools to improve your speaking confidence and interaction comfort, taking a strength-based model that will affirm and empower you while still dedicating attention to addressing areas of speaking discomfort and weakness to improve your risk areas. I've designed the resources to allow you to personalise your speaking goals incrementally to build and grade the steps it takes to address and implement progress around your greatest speaking fears.
Can my employer pay for my C-Suite access
The C-Suite has been designed with both individuals and companies in mind. This makes the program an ideal investment for any organisation that wishes to invest in a research-based speaking training program for a staff member.
Can I purchase the C-Suite for my employee/s?
If you would like to purchase a program for one employee,
please email our support team upon purchase, and we can assist with giving your staff member access to the program directly.
If you would like to purchase the program for more than one employee,
get in touch with us at hello@sarageiger.com
What Makes The C-Suite Different From Other Courses?
3 unique reasons.
First, you’re going to internalise a system for communication improvement that you can apply to all contexts and environments. The suite trains you so deeply that not only will you improve your speaking style, but you also gain a strong understanding of the process of communication so that you can independently evaluate and tweak your performance for the rest of your life.
Unlike other programs that focus on a niche skill, my niche is training you to think like a communication scientist so that you can always have the tools you need so that when unexpected conversations or a speaking hiatus occurs, you can get yourself through it with commando-style tactics. Communication science is detailed, and people devote their entire academic careers to it.
The C-Suite compresses the most important up to date info that you need to know to leverage communication to your advantage and packages it into “easy to digest, hands-on, exquisitely prepared learning material.” The C-suite provides the backbone you need to drive your knowledge and speaking behaviours forward.
Second, the C-Suite provides a bridge between the artistic and scientific communication process. A lot of what you say is shaped by the human expressive element. The artistic side of speaking influences your listener’s emotions and mood. As an opera performer and literature graduate, I’ll train you in how to apply the right expressive approach that boosts charisma and inspires your conversation partners to engage and give you a chance to have the influence you desire.
But not only that, my expertise as a clinical communication scientist (aka speech pathologist) and researcher allows me to train you in the mechanics and practical aspects of communication like voice tone (based on principles of physics), speech rhythm (based on metric rhythms), and strategic frameworks that map communication in a mathematical, logical way.
Third, there’s only one Sara Geiger. Clients who’ve worked with me can vouch that you’re in for “fun, informative and practical sessions” delivered by an “upbeat, passionate and incisive expert-” (their words, not mine).
How Long Will I Have Access To The C-Suite?
With 30 video lessons spread across five modules and extensive resources, you'll want to dedicate time to go through the content and follow up with ongoing practice and review of your goals. This is why you'll receive 365-days of access to all the content to pace yourself and feel calm about implementing long term, sustainable changes with your speaking.
Why is the C-Suite priced in Australian Dollars?
The Sara Geiger International HQ is located in Melbourne, Australia.
Although we serve clients worldwide, we price our services in Australian dollars.
When does enrolment close for the C-Suite?
At the moment, C-Suite is open for enrolment at any time, but this limited time offer for full access at a special price of $3500, is only guaranteed for a limited time, as displayed on this page.
Click the button below and complete the order form to get instant access to the C-Suite before the countdown timer on your screen expires.
Do you have a Refund Policy for the C-Suite?
The C-Suite is an engaging, stimulating, and first-class experience for your communication. This course is my magnum opus- the product of over two decades of experience as a speech pathologist, elite opera singer and communication consultant, plus months of in-depth R&D entails the need for careful protection of my prototyped methods and industry secrets. For this reason, no refunds are available on purchase.
I’ve seen many of my clients move from monotonous, weak and hesitant speaking to absolute masters of their message. All it takes is a new systematic approach to speaking. Changed speaking habits can be the exact thing you need to land your dream job, start your entrepreneurial journey, cinch top-level speaking engagements or finally win that executive management role.
Our Guarantee to You
