ZingTrain Speaker Series: Eleni Kelakos
Great leaders and great actors are remarkably alike. Both radiate a powerful, transformational presence. Both use their vocal, physical and energetic presence to move us to thought, feeling and action. Both strive not for perfection but for excellence. Both inspire us to follow them, believe them and trust them.
Here is one more thing that Eleni Kelakos believes that great leaders and actors have in common – they seek to achieve Presence Mastery, the art of being fully who they are wherever they are no matter who’s watching or what’s at stake. And they commit to taking regular, ritualized actions to achieve presence (and presentation) mastery, so they can speak and lead with the greatest impact.
In this interactive session, Eleni Kelakos will teach you how to achieve Presence Mastery using acting methodologies honed from her experience as a professional actor in New York and Hollywood.
Join us on Wednesday, October 28th, 8-930am to learn:
- The 5 Principles of Transformational Presence– the building blocks of presence, presentation and performance mastery
- A simple, actor-based methodology to identify and develop your “Type” or Personal Leadership Brand
- Techniques to minimize the Lies That Bind you so you can lead with confidence and courage in pressurized scenarios
- The 10-minute Daily Presence Practice
- The Waiting in the Wings Warmup for optimum presence and performance
- The Final Four Questions, for ongoing development of your leadership presence and presentation excellence
If you are committed to achieving mastery as a conscious communicator and leader-this speaker series session is for you!

Grits, Grains, and Glenn at Zingerman’s Roadhouse
In 1998, Glenn Roberts sold almost all his earthly possessions and went in search of heirloom varieties of corn, rice, and wheat. His mission: to grow, harvest and mill these antebellum varieties organically and restore them to a viable economic existence. And so he founded Anson Mills, and the culinary world was forever changed. Glenn’s attention to detail, his commitment to grow organically, and his determination to mill the grains as carefully as they’re grown attracted well-known chefs who began to use and promote his products. Today Glenn works with over 30 growers in six states to reproduce these heirloom grains.
On Tuesday, November 10, 7pm, Zingerman’s Roadhouse Chef Alex and Glenn will cook up a menu that reveals the subtle character of each grain and emphasizes the invaluable place that each has in the South.
Please join us for this rare visit by the man who Food Republic called “The Guy To Know For Heirloom Grains In America.”
