HOW GOOD SPEAKERS BECOME GREAT.
Are your speaking skills in line with your ambition?
We work with ambitious professionals who want to master their communication skills. Our clients know that it’s not what they think or know that matters, but it’s what they can ultimately convey and express in their communication.
We can help you structure a powerful keynote, an impactful pitch, we assist you in preparing an effective presentation, and we can also help you communicate clearly when you need to give sensitive feedback, announce important decisions. We support you when your communication must carry impact.
Can you afford to leave it to chance?
When your credibility hinges on speaking with clarity, on getting your message across with confidence and authority, don’t let tentative communication let you down and tarnish your professional reputation. Whether your audience is two or two thousand-strong, captivating their heart and mind is the key to success.
Now, you have a choice
Unlike some trainers who offer prescriptive formulas, we have developed a unique coaching methodology that produces rapid, permanent, and game-changing speaking transformations.

GROUP OR INDIVIDUAL COACHING? WHAT’S BEST FOR YOU?
Each program has its benefits
Group work is ideal for learning by doing in great company. You learn from your own practice and from others’ mistakes and success. You have fun. You venture out of your comfort zone in safety. One-to-one work is more effective when you have a specific outcome in mind – for example, a keynote, or a “high stakes” sales presentation. Some clients choose to do both to maximise their opportunity to practice. Will you be one of them?

Robert and Ilaria in New Delhi, India – September 2018
About Us
We are a unique mother and son consulting pair. While we are both highly skilled and articulate, we are very different in our approach and focus. By simultaneously analysing both content (Ilaria) and delivery (Robert), we provide you with insightful and immediately applicable feedback. Together, we design and teach original analytical models that help all our speakers become more aware of their speaking habits and the stylistic choices at their disposal.

CLIENTS TESTIMONIALS
After attending one of my keynotes, Masters of Impact co-founder Ilaria Vilkelis gave me some very useful feedback on how to make my presentation more structured and to better relate to my audience. As a result, I am commanding higher fees and my engagement calendar is busier than ever. Recently, some clients were so impressed with my talk they even decided to make an essential contribution to my crowdfunding project. Masters of Impact truly helped me to go from good to great!
Mark Ormrod, International Speaker, Author and Athlete
Ilaria Vilkelis was instrumental in helping me address a large audience for the first time on a topic that was both very personal and delicate. She provided me with the support, insights and connections that I needed to be awarded my very first TEDx opportunity: an Open Mic competition. Giving a TEDxTalk about my poem was a big decision. I felt Ilaria’s encouragement, warmth and care throughout the several months of preparation during and after the talk, even when she wasn’t my official speaker coach! She took the time to review my speech in detail, online and via video – and she did not hold anything back! Ilaria has the amazing capacity to comment both on the content and on the form of your presentation, on the strategic aspects of your message, and on the relevant details of your delivery like your choice of vocabulary, hand gestures and tone of voice. Whether you are used to speaking or not, Ilaria will help you be your most authentic and most impactful on stage – and you can be sure she has your back.
Dorothy Oger, Poet, Coach, International Speaker (Watch Dorothy at the Open Mic competition)
I have been blown away by Masters of Impact. Ilaria and Robert have an amazing skill to pick out any imperfection in
my delivery. This takes exceptional attention to detail. As an experienced international TEDx speaker, I was always praised for WOWing the crowd, but working with Masters of Impact founders has really polished and repackaged my content. This was the next level I needed to be top of my game.
