Imposter syndrome anyone?
It’s Monday morning and you see a presentation in your calendar for that week.
Some of these thoughts may come up:
“I’m not prepared enough”
“Let me look at my slides again. Maybe I need to add in more”
“Why do I always wait till the last minute to prepare?”
“I need to make sure they see that I deserve to be here”
Recognise any of these ?
My name is Maja, founder of Stage Heroes and I’ve had all of these thoughts. I’ve had imposter syndrome for a long time and honestly, I still doubt myself sometimes.
But let me tell you something. The more you know, the more you know what you don’t know. So the further you get in your career, the more you become aware of what you don’t know. And this creates the feeling of not knowing, not being or not bringing enough.
Feelings of insecurity will always be there. It’s what makes us human. I learned how to not let them hold me back and I’d love to teach you how to do that.
After following the Stage Heroes course I felt so much more confident in taking the step to present on the (digital) stage. It was a big step for me, but with the tools, I feel secure about what is still to come. Thank you so much Maja!
I truly enjoyed every minute of this course. Particularly the “mindset approach” Maja has implemented. It is different from any other course I have ever attended and so much more formative. Maja is a great professional and truly inspiring. Her contagious energy was tangible even through the screen.

Step 1: Live Kick Off
Monday 3 February 2025 15:00 – 16:30 CET
This course is not like your average online course. You don’t have to figure it out on your own. We start together with a live 90-minute ZOOM session. This is where you get to meet me and I get to meet you and learn about your learning coals for the course. You’ll meet your accountability partner and we get started with the first assignments. This is where we set you up for success!
Step 2: Your online course: Next Level Presentations
Next Level Presentations is your main Stage Heroes course. It takes you through the 3 pillars of speaking in public with confidence.
Every module has 10 video lessons that are between 3 and 7 minutes long. When you watch all the videos and do all the assignments, you’ll spend an average of 90 minutes per module.
Module 1: Confidence & Mindset
The voice in your head determines if your presentation is mediocre or mindblowing. What you tell yourself is essential for your confidence.
In this module:
Overcoming your fear of public speaking
Rewriting your stories
Finding confidence
Setting powerful goals
Module 2: Presentation creation
Knowing that your story is rock solid will give you confidence. In this module, I teach you to create presentations and stories that nobody will ever forget.
In this module:
Storytelling
Influencing
Structuring
Remembering
Module 3: Deliver like a pro
An awesome story alone is not going to get you there. You have to win trust and keep your audience engaged until the end of your presentation.
In this module:
Body Language
Para-verbal communication
Use of space
Energy
Step 3: Level up with the live sessions
Becoming a Stage Hero is a journey. When you are a member of the Stage Heroes academy there is an entire community that has your back.
We get together regularly to keep leveling up. To get feedback, learn, experiment and grow!
Live coach call – Every 2nd Monday of the month
Stepping up your public speaking game, goes a whole lot easier if you have someone in your corner. During the live coach calls, you get the opportunity to be coached live by me and learn from seeing other people being coached. Magic always happens during these calls.
Practice Lounge – Every last Monday of the month
During the practice lounge, you have the opportunity to test your new skills, gather feedback and learn from others. It’s a safe space to make mistakes, try out that one joke or practice your improvisation skills. The only thing that makes progress is practice. Come to these sessions regularly and I promise you will see results.
Power sessions – to be planned
Your year in the Stage Heroes Academy comes with 6 power sessions. In dept sessions around a specific topic related to public speaking.
Topics will be determined based on the needs of the group. This means you have a say in what this will be 🙂
Here’s a BONUS for you!
#Presentingfromhome
In the first year of the pandemic I taught over 100 crash courses on how to present online. This course is the answer to EVERY question I received on this topic.

I loved how Maja changed my view of giving presentations from something uncomfortable and frightening to something that can actually be a lot of fun. I am still using many of her tips. Definitely recommend the course!

Are you still giving mediocre presentations?
In my 8 years of experience as a presentation coach, working with TEDx speakers, CXO’s and entrepreneurs, I’ve discovered 3 levels of presentations.
Level 1. Informing presentations. When you’re giving these presentations, you are mostly focused on the information you wish to share. Probably accompanied by elaborate slide decks.
RESULT: Your audience leaves feeling overwhelmed, thinking “this could have been an email” and forgetting 95% of what you said within 30 minutes.
Level 2. Inspiring presentations. When you are giving inspiring presentations, you have already thought more about what your audience needs to hear. You are enjoying the moment and so is your audience.
RESULT: As much as inspiration is helpful, it does not actually drive change. Often when we are inspired, that feeling is gone the moment, we go back to our day-to-day.
Level 3. Enrolling presentations. When you enrol your audience, they feel connected to you as the speaker, to your message ánd to each other. That last part, that’s where the magic happens.
RESULT: You create lasting change. A change in behavior, a change in thinking and a change in how people treat and see each other.
When you present in level 3, there is no limit to where your career can go!
