What Dean Hyers learned directing films and training U.S. and Canadian under-cover agents in acting and emotion-control can help you be calm, dynamic and influential under pressure.

After Dean directed the independent feature film Bill's Gun Shop (distributed by Warner Brothers), a twist of fate found him teaching acting to government undercover agents who would stake their lives on acting skills.

As he left the Federal Training compound, Dean realized stage fright was everywhere – getting in the way of public speaking, presenting, networking, interviewing, selling, leading, or pitching ideas.

In 2001, Dean co-founded SagePresence to direct professionals beyond their fears using techniques from the movie set. Dean helps sales teams win multi-million dollar business pitches, leaders increase their confidence,

and "overlooked" employees get noticed to ascend the ranks.

Prior to his movie, Dean Co-Founded Digital Café (interactive Media) and put the first CD-ROM in Rolling Stone Magazine, the first computer game in a cereal box, and marketed movies like Godzilla, Die Hard II, and Jumanji, before its acquisition by Campbell Mithun Advertising.

As a Film Director and a Professional Speaker, my emphasis is presence – which means authenticity, natural dialogue, and heartfelt emotion.

Directing film and video, I am an "actor's director," focusing on performance first, and bringing a solid vision to the cinematic team. With the entire crew, I create a safe environment that encourages playful creativity and risk-taking, demands respect, and brings the creative best out of each and every team-member. I adhere to a mental vision, yet can flex with logistis to attain it.

Speaking nationally and internationally, I have personal experience as a performer on stage and screen. My two worlds intertwine, cross-pollenate and never let me forget that the best way to lead others is to practice what I preach.
