OUR WORK
Don't Just Project Confidence. Be Confident.
Brené Brown has said that "engineering and technology need poetry if they're going to change the world," building on James March's observation that leadership involves both "plumbing" and "poetry."
At Vox Vera®, we teach the poetry.
We've spent 15+ years in the trenches at Fortune 50 companies—negotiating multimillion-dollar deals at Amazon Studios, Warner Bros., and NBCUniversal, navigating Wall Street expectations, ownership changes, and public scrutiny.
Combined with world-class performance training and teaching experience at Stanford, Berkeley, and U. Chicago, we help business leaders develop the physical skills that drive trust, influence, and results: authentic presence, vocal authority, and embodied delivery.
In the Age of AI, Your Voice and Presence Are Your Strategic Assets
As technology automates analysis and content creation, the leaders who thrive will be those who connect authentically, persuade in the room, and inspire confidence under pressure. Yet most executives receive zero training in the underlying craft.
Research demonstrates that ineffective communication costs organizations time, money, and trust. The gap isn't intelligence or strategy—it's embodied communication skill.
We've lived your world: the stakeholder fears, the crisis communications, the media strategy, the big swings, and the board meetings where everything is on the line. We understand the pressures, share your standards, and know how to help you deliver.
Through tailored one-on-one coaching, high-impact workshops, and strategic consulting, we teach business leaders and teams to:
-
Speak with clarity and conviction
-
Build authentic presence that holds attention
-
Navigate high-stakes moments with confidence
-
Connect across differences and build lasting trust
If you're ready to transform how you and your team show up when it matters most, we're ready to begin.

Founder/CEO Paul Marchegiani, JD
"What an amazing session. It was a fresh perspective and the tools we acquired are
wonderful." — Participant, NAWDP Business Services Academy
"Since we met I’ve had a board meeting and just yesterday moderated a panel . . . . In both instances I tried to put into practice what you shared with me. One of my colleagues actually came up to me after the board meeting and commented that I seemed especially clear and relaxed… and this panel yesterday was probably the most confident I’ve ever felt on a stage." — President & CEO, Nonprofit Organization.
