EXECUTIVE PRESENCE TRAINING
Welcome! I'm Polly Meyer.
Connect with me to learn the techniques and secrets of the pros that will elevate your executive presence and charismatic edge, bring value and meaning to your actions, and get you the success you deserve!
I work with the rebels, risk-takers and underdogs. I coach the experimenters, trailblazers and dreamers. And I am passionate about creating an exciting and transformative experience that delivers true value!
I’m part communications strategist, part commercial actor, and part research geek.
A born-n-raised Minnesota girl with nothing more than passion, a studio and a dream, I’ve created a pretty awesome socially conscious business from scratch.
I started out as your typical nerdy kid, socially awkward, and introverted. I completely lacked any grace, and I was oblivious to social codes. But I resolved to conquer my insecurities so I could be one of those normal human beings who could make people like them.
As an actor, I spent years studying the science of how body language tells the story of what is going on inside someone's brain, how demonstrating executive presence and charisma gives a competitive advantage, how a shift in mindset changes everything, and how using story persuades decision makers to move.
To better serve my clients, I have advanced training in Executive Coaching, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), Motivational Interviewing, and Strength-based coaching.
I studied with and have been coached by world class ballroom dancers, top acting coaches, popular news anchors, strategic communications trainers, professional speakers, and motivational trainers.
My hard science approach is based on research done at Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Berkeley and Princeton. I deserve no credit for the science. I just took the best bits out of some rather arcane data to help my own growth.
As a trained commercial actor and spokesperson, I bring over a decade of on-camera experience and working in the media. Training is a mix of assessments, creative communications, sound science and practical tools, with a smidge of snarkiness tossed in for good measure.
If there's anything I can do to improve your experience on this site, please email me at [email protected]. I'm constantly striving to up my game and I'd love to hear from you.
Testimonial
Polly is a seasoned coach with cross-industry expertise. Her Whole Person Approach incorporates four dimensions of leadership and talent: skills, experiences, traits, "and drivers. She takes a big data approach to leadership development—drawing on interviews, research, studies, data, and professional assessments, which help her to recognize what separates success from derailment for leaders in any role, function, industry, or organizational culture."
Barb M - Sr. Financial Analyst
Testimonial
"If you want to improve your personal presence, project confidence, and/or learn more about how you are seen by others, you need to work with Polly. Polly has been wonderful. Every session has been too short. She has good judgement about which issues to address, and which things to leave alone."
Don L. MN House of Representatives Candidate
Testimonial
"She brings a vast knowledge and experience base with an understanding of why the techniques work (and can explain in as geeky or non-geeky manner as you like). Polly employs a positive and motivational coaching style. I always left sessions excited and confident. I can’t recommend Polly highly enough!"
Wade L - IT Executive
I teach professionals how to harness their charisma, use their body language, their voice, and gestures so they’re noticed for all the right reasons. More importantly, I help men and women operate from a place of purpose and values, build up their confidence, and cultivate their leadership presence.
Curiosity drives me to understand what my clients need to succeed. I’m known to deliver the most innovative and highest quality personal development training in Minnesota.
That’s because I care deeply about my clients and am committed to not only getting them results, but make learning irresistibly fun! My training is guaranteed to move you closer to your goals. If you show up and do the work, I promise you'll see movement! We get really specific with what you would like to see happen, so that if there are any surprises, its only with the degree you're impressed with the results.
Philanthropic Initiatives
Social change is baked into my business model. When you invest in yourself through my training programs, you're also investing in helping make the world a better place. I offer training scholarships to medical professionals and to the men and women who serve our Country. They are our Nation's heroes, and I think they're pretty awesome!
A true love is the most powerful marketing strategy there is. I truly care about my clients, and their goals and dreams. That's why I strive to deliver 10x the value in everything I do.
My one-on-one consultations, team training sessions, and facilitated workshops are powerful and transformative.
Executive presence, communication skills, and confidence are THE greatest asset and career-changing skills on the planet. And everyone — from entrepreneurs to politicians, C-Suite professionals to job candidates — needs to develop them.
Of course, I’m no sage from the stage. I never pretend to have all the answers and I make my fair share of mistakes, too.
But my commitment is to bring you the very best of what I’m living and learning and to keep it real and honest as I go. Because YOU, my friend, deserve it!
So don’t expect perfect polish, because no one wants a Stepford Wife, but do expect some, “oh-no-she-didn’t” laughs . . . unless you’re easily offended or ultra serious — then you won’t dig my occasional vibrant language or silly antics.
