Format

Small class · by design✓ Cohort 1 sold out. Same close room. We keep it small so the work goes deep.

— What this addresses —

2 real challenges.
1 workshop that meets both.

If you recognise yourself in either of these, this workshop was built for you.

A leader visibly stressed, struggling to speak with confidence

"I freeze up in front of an audience."

You know your material. You're respected at work. But the moment you stand up to speak, the version of you in the room doesn't match the version in your head. We practice the body before the words — and rebuild what's already inside you.

A leader pausing mid-presentation — sensing the room isn't moving with her

"I've got the perfect deck — but the room never lifts."

Your prep is sharp. Your message is solid. The room nods politely — then nothing happens. We work on the architecture of connection: how to read a room, surface what matters to them, and earn the yes without pressure.

Real testimonials · Cohort 1

Five leaders. Five real shifts.

We didn't hand anyone a script. We watched how they opened — what their body said before their words did — then played it back. Here's what changed.

"Slowing down gave me authority."
When he has to break bad news, calm is what lets a worried pet owner trust him.

May, a pilates studio owner, speaking to the room — May · Pilates Studio Owner
"A pause, and the room leans in."
Clear and decisive — her discovery was that emotion and a well-placed pause turn authority into connection.

Bernard, an entrepreneur, presenting his business — Bernard · Entrepreneur
"Simple words hit harder."
A mind full of ideas is his superpower — his discovery was the power of focus: one clear idea, simply put.

Carrine, a content creator, engaging the room — Carrine · Content Creator
"My energy is my edge."
A natural in front of an audience — warm and magnetic. The shift: channel that energy with intention.

Kel, a film director and educator, sharing a perspective — Kel · Director & Educator
"You embody presence."
His lens from film — identity and embodiment. The camera always knows the difference between acting and being.

This isn't about performing. Executive presence is what's left when the performance drops — your body, your words and your intention all saying the same thing.

Our Proprietary Method

The FutureX Speaking Method^™

3 pillars. Most courses teach 1. We teach all 3 — together.

— 01 —

Inner GameThe why before the words

"Find your why. The words follow."

The inner work that turns nerves into presence. The part most courses skip.

— 02 —

Stage CraftThe art of the moment

"Tune yourself to the room."

Body, breath, voice, timing. The lived-in craft of holding a room — Daniel's 26 years across Asia Pacific.

— 03 —

Connection ArchitectureInfluence without manipulation

"Earn the yes. Don't push for it."

Read the room. Surface what matters. Structure your message so it lands as their decision — not your push.

Daniel leads from the stage. Simyee designs the system behind it.

2 careers · 2 crafts · 1 room.

46 years of standing in front of rooms.

— The journey —

3 steps.
1 transformation.

Most workshops cram everything into a weekend. Ours plants, lets it root for 4 weeks, then refines. That's why the change holds.

— 01 · Locate —

Find your voice.

Day 1 · a Monday · 9 AM – 5 PM

What's true for you to say. The 5-step method to build a message around the room — not your slides.

— 02 · Practice —

Apply in the wild.

The 4 weeks between

1 real presentation. 1 person to practice on. Reps in real rooms — where the change actually compounds.

— 03 · Refine —

Sharpen the edge.

Day 2 · four Mondays later

Your signature opening. Honest feedback. A keynote-ready talk you walk out with — and into your next real room.

— 2 parts, 4 weeks apart —

Part 1 plants. Part 2 refines.
The 4 weeks between are the secret.

Part 1 · one Monday. 4 weeks to practice. Part 2 · four Mondays later. Most courses cram both into a weekend. We don't.

Part 1 · Monday

August 10th (Mon), 2026

"What's your point? The foundation before the polish."

Morning

The audience tuning principleWhy presentations fail in the first 30 seconds. The 3 real purposes of any business talk.

Midday

What's your point?Lunch together. Then a 5-step method to find what matters to your audience — and build around them, not your slides.

Afternoon

Structure, duration, fillersThe 5-layer structure that holds attention. How long to speak for. The small practice that removes "um", "so", "basically".

Putting it together · 4-week assignmentYou deliver a 3–5 minute talk. Honest feedback. Then: 1 real presentation to build over 4 weeks. See you in September.

Part 2 · Monday

September 7th (Mon), 2026

"The impactful opening. Influence through connection."

Morning

Your signature openingThe first 30 seconds decide everything. 2 strategies to hook a room. Then we craft your opening — live.

Midday

Influence — connecting with the roomLunch together. Then: emotional rapport in seconds. Eye contact, questions, humour, vulnerability. Daniel demos. You practice.

Afternoon

Self-awareness on stageHow your Enneagram type shapes — and sometimes sabotages — your style. Stage presence with and without slides.

Showtime · 3–5 minutes, your materialEach participant delivers. Honest feedback in pairs. You walk out a different speaker than the one who walked in.

A Day 3 Masterclass is in development — storytelling, advanced craft, and body-based work for performance anxiety. Alumni first, later this year.

— Cohort 3 · dates confirmed to the waitlist first —

Two full days. A room of ten.

Two Mondays, three weeks apart, 9 AM – 5 PM. Kuala Lumpur. Two senior facilitators, a room of ten by design — never larger.

Is Speaking with Impact HRD Corp claimable?

Yes. Speaking with Impact is HRD Corp approved — TP No. 10001699983. Malaysian companies registered with HRD Corp can claim the fee under the SBL-Khas scheme. Apply 3–4 weeks before the workshop so the grant is approved in time; we provide the invoice and TP number. How claiming works →

Who is this workshop for?

Senior leaders who know their thinking is sharper than their delivery — and are ready to close that gap. If you present to boards, clients or teams and want presence without theatrics, this is built for you.

When is the next cohort, and what does it cost?

Cohort 2 is in progress (Part 2 on 7 September 2026) and closed to new sign-ups. Cohort 3 dates are being locked now — join the waitlist and you hear first. Cohort 3 Early Bird is RM 1,688 if you pay it yourself (RM 1,988 standard) or RM 1,888 with nothing upfront if your company claims HRD Corp (RM 2,188 standard); the Early Bird closes one month before Day 1. Two Mondays, 9 AM–5 PM, Kuala Lumpur. HRD Corp claimable — same registered course.

Do I need to attend both days?

Yes — it's one cohort across two days, three weeks apart by design. You practise between sessions and come back to refine with feedback. That gap is where the skill actually sticks.

Can you run it in-house for our team?

Yes. We deliver Speaking with Impact privately for a single company, and it stays HRD Corp claimable. Email simyee@futurexleader.com to scope an in-house cohort.
