Valencia · Edition I · October / November 2026
"Find your voice. Build your public authority.
Step into the spotlight you've earned."
Who this is for
This residency is for established entrepreneurs who want to become a public voice in their field — lawyers, doctors, authors, consultants, executives. You have the expertise. This is where you learn to own a stage.
You're already successful
You have clients, results, and a track record. What you want now is a stage — conferences, media, a book, a public platform. This is your stepping stone.
You want to be pushed
Not coddled, not validated — challenged. By a branding expert, a vocal coach, and a small group of people who will tell you the truth with warmth.
You know your domain. Not yet your stage presence.
Speaking at a conference, doing media interviews, pitching a book — these require a different set of skills. That's exactly what we build here.
You also want to breathe
Four days outside Valencia, in a house with good food, open air, and people who take their work seriously. The setting is part of the work.
The four-day arc
Each day builds on the last. You arrive with an offer. You leave with the words and the presence to deliver it.
Day 1
Arrive & land
Airport transfer. Settle into the house. Introductions — share your offer and your one goal for the week. Welcome dinner together.
Day 2
Message & brand
A full day clarifying your offer story, building your brand message, and finding the words that make people lean in. Evening excursion into the Valencia countryside.
Alexia EwaneDay 3
Voice & delivery
Presence, vocal work, and the art of owning a room — in person and online. End of day: each participant pitches their offer in front of the group. Closing dinner.
Tiana EwaneDay 4
Take away & go
Group debrief and personal feedback. Each guest leaves with a clear action plan for what comes next. Goodbyes — and a transfer back to the airport.
The pitch
"At the end of Day 3, you pitch your offer — live, in front of the group. No slides required. Just you, your story, and everything you've built over the past two days."
This isn't a performance. It's a proof of work. You pitch your offer, your talk, your book concept — whatever you're here to launch. The room is warm, the feedback is honest.
