Dean helps professionals instantly find their winning presence when they present or present themselves under pressure, even if they're terrified, unprepared, or not favored to win.

What if you had the skills movie stars and secret agents have to create instant chemistry and rapport, to form connections under pressure, to say the right things even when there was no chance to prep, and to be dynamic on command? Hundreds of people have invited Dean and his partners at SagePresence® into their lives to develop the easy skills needed to make people say, "You had me at hello" when they speak, sell, lead, negotiate, and network.

Dean Hyers began making full-length movies as a teenager, and became an entrepreneur in his twenties, directing electronic promotions for Hollywood blockbusters like Godzilla, Jumanji and Die Hard III. Dean put the first CD-ROM in a Rolling Stones Magazine, and directed ChexQuest, the first computer game distributed in a cereal box. Selling Digital Café to Campbell Mithun Advertising in 1999, Dean returned to the director’s chair with his debut feature, Bill’s Gun Shop, released through Warner Bros.

In 2001, Dean was hired by the US Government to train undercover agents in acting skills for deep cover operations, after which Dean was inspired to apply his expertise to speaking and to helping business professionals manage stage fright. Dean is now a #1 Best-Selling Author with WINNING PRESENCE for Business Presenters, speaking internationally as he continues to write and develop independent movies.
