01The Problem
Presence isn't something you're born with. It's a skill.
Your people are communicating every day in meetings, pitches, and moments where what they say and how they say it makes all the difference. Most of them have never been taught how to do it well. And it's costing your organization more than you realize.
Colin learned this working alongside actors including Sylvester Stallone and Kate Hudson, in productions such as All My Children, Melrose Place, and Something Borrowed. He structures the keynote around three questions every great communicator eventually has to answer, each introduced through a revealing story from inside Hollywood that points directly back to the conversations your people are having at work right now.
The session closes where Colin's story truly begins: pursuing acting in the wake of 9/11, which left him homeless, overcoming three rounds of cancer, and realizing that everything he learned on screen was exactly what carried him through. These aren't theatrical tools. They're human ones.
02Learning Objectives
By the end of the session, your audience will be able to
- 01
Close the gap between the story they intend to tell and the one the person they're speaking to actually hears.
- 02
Apply the presence-based listening skill that makes any conversation feel like the only one happening, and understand why it's one of the most underrated advantages in professional workplaces.
- 03
Recognize and tap into the hidden superpower of inspired communication through the Academy Award Winning Framework that actors utilize.
- 04
Leave with a clear personal communication identity: who they are, what story they're telling, and how to make it land, especially in pressure-packed situations.
03What They Leave With
Key audience takeaways
- A diagnostic framework
- for identifying the specific communication patterns that are costing your people credibility, connection, and influence before they ever say a word.
- Practical strategies
- for communicating with presence and intention in the moments that matter most: client conversations, leadership visibility, pitches, and high-stakes reviews.
- Tools from 25 years of performance
- translated directly into techniques anyone can use to create more confident and clear communication.
- The confidence to recast themselves
- to stop showing up as a version of themselves someone else 'cast' them in, and own more of the story they're meant to tell.
04About Colin
The kid who felt too quiet to speak.
Colin Egglesfield didn't start as someone who knew how to communicate. An unexpected New York City acting class shifted his entire life, and after 9/11 he went to Hollywood to put it into practice.
What followed was a 25-year career on screen, sharing sets with Sylvester Stallone, Kate Hudson, and Susan Lucci, best known for All My Children, Melrose Place, and Something Borrowed. He has also survived cancer three times.
Today he is a keynote speaker and certified coach working at the intersection of peak performance, self-identity, and inspired communication. His talks aren't about being a better actor. They're about being a more complete version of yourself in every room that matters.
"Colin is a world-class speaker. He is filled with positivity, inspiration, and wisdom to truly connect with your audience. Our participants left energized and equipped with incredible insight. Thank you so much, Colin!"Kimberly Walters, Psychologist & Educator, Calgary, Canada

"The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place." - George Bernard Shaw
Most people have never been taught the tools and strategies to effectively communicate the way professional actors are trained to. Colin Egglesfield has spent over 25 years on film sets starring alongside some of the biggest names in Hollywood. Throughout his career, he's learned what it actually takes to inspire people with presence, clarity, and intention. And he's bringing everything he learned directly into our next event.
Join us for a session with Colin Egglesfield, actor and keynote speaker, as he shares the communication framework utilized by Academy Award Winners on and off screen, and shows you how to use it in the conversations that matter most.
You'll walk away knowing: - What your presence and communication are subconsciously telling your audience, and how to adjust it for maximum effectiveness. - How to tap into the "It" quality that Hollywood actors have mastered. - How to recognize when you've been 'miscast' in a role you're not meant to play, and what to do about it. - The importance of intentional communication so that you don't just know why you're communicating, but feel empowered, resilient, and clear even in high-pressure conversations.
You'll leave this session with practical strategies and insights that you'll be able to implement the moment you walk out of the room. Reserve your spot today.
"This guy is so much bigger than Hollywood. Colin is smart, he is energetic, and he is on fire. His energy is so magnetic."Marcia G., Summit Attendee, USABook Colin for your event
