About Joe Hudson

  • Founder of Art of Accomplishment, one of Silicon Valley’s most sought-after executive coaches.​​

Why come

If any of these land, this room is for you:

  • You freeze or ramble in investor meetings or on stage.
  • You never know what to do with your hands or where to look.
  • You sound smart but don’t look like a confident CEO.
  • You’re self-conscious about your accent or voice.
  • You cringe watching your or your founder’s talks back.

You’ll learn how to align your thinking, emotions, and body so you feel grounded, credible, and relaxed under pressure — in investor meetings, negotiations, and on camera.

What you’ll do

  • Learn how misalignment between mind, emotions, and body silently kills credibility.
  • Get a simple, repeatable presence framework for pitches and high‑stakes meetings.
  • See hot-seat breakdowns with live feedback from Joe and the room.
  • Walk away with a practical presence checklist you can use immediately.
