Ever noticed that some people turn heads as soon as they step into a business meeting, enter a bar, or climb onto a stage?
In the movie business, it’s called having “star quality.”
And while that quality is pretty hard to define, we all know it whenever we see someone who radiates what I call a “1000-watt presence.”
They have that rare ability to elicit admiring glances from onlookers, entice friendly smiles from strangers, and arouse intense engagement from whoever they’re speaking with.
If they’re a public speaker, their charisma makes audiences sit up and listen.
But not only do they have a commanding presence. For some reason, people also instinctively feel they “click” with them.
The good news is that radiating this sort of mystifying presence is built on a foundation of unshakable confidence, which is something anyone can learn — with the right teacher.
“Alexa is engaging, has a lot of presence when she speaks, and is so confident that it makes you want to be like her…” — Paulo Knabben, Udemy student
If you believe right now you could never express such a dazzling persona, this course will prove that you’re mistaken.
Hi, I’m Alexa Fischer and I’ve appeared on hit TV shows like Lie to Me, NCIS, CSI, Numb3rs, Bones as well as a whole bunch of television commercials, so I know a bit about what star quality really means. But my greatest endeavor has been to help people rise above their fears and illusory obstacles to achieve their deepest desires.
My background also means I know a lot about why some people end up becoming wallflowers while others shine brilliantly in the company of strangers and acquaintances alike.
So, what’s the secret of a 1000-watt presence?
The core components of this star quality, I’ve discovered over the years, are releasing your fears, connecting to your inner power, and polishing your presence, so you can show up for life’s opportunities (in person, on stage, and even in front of the lens) with authenticity and ease.
In this course, I’ll be breaking down the habits of 1000-watt individuals and showing you how to embed their characteristics so deeply into your being that your own presence sparkles naturally.
I’ll show you how to use your body, voice, and your mindset to make an instant impression on others.
I’ll also give you the tools to maintain a powerful connection with others that will last a lifetime.
Don’t believe it’s possible? I’m here to tell you that it is.
I’ve taught executives, teams, and companies of all sizes how to connect more fully to themselves and each other. From Trader Joe’s and SONY, to Dress For Success and the National Charity League, to an appearance on The Today Show – I’ve empowered thousands of individuals and teams to land new clients, focus their vision and articulate their goals, engage more meaningfully with customers, and communicate better with each other.
I’ve seen students go from hesitation to awesomeness in a matter of weeks.
I can do the same for you too — whether you’re an aspiring instructor, a person wanting to stand out in business, or just someone looking for more dates.
“Just amazing…” — Ahmed Hanafy, Udemy student
“Inspiring…” — Cheryl Loudon, Udemy student
“You very soon become immersed in her performance…” — Anton Knapic, Udemy student
“Lots to think about…” — Dan Halbert, Udemy student
“The world needs more people like her…” — Nicolas Ordonez, Udemy student
“Awesome…” — Pawan Verma, Udemy student
“Really feeling like I can add some value to this world…” — Paula Doherty, Udemy student
Now, I know there are lots of “gurus” out there teaching confidence. What makes this program unique is a step-by-step approach to help you identify and release all the blocks that have been holding you back in the past.
You’ll learn how to:
-
Identify the habitual way you think, move, and speak (and how to improve!)
-
Build unshakeable confidence with energy psychology techniques
-
Enjoy the art of casual conversation, so you can build amazing relationships
-

Discover ways to appreciate yourself more, become more comfortable with who you are, and recognize the value you have in both your personal and professional life.

He discusses how to build healthy self-esteem from within yourself by exploring integrity, how to stop disappointing yourself and excusing your success, how to let go when things don’t work out, how to accept what you cannot change, and more.

Methodology: How We Determine Course Relevance
At ClassRanker, we aim to help users find the most relevant and high-quality courses quickly. To achieve this, we use a relevance-based ranking system inspired by the Bayesian Average method, which takes into account both course ratings and the number of reviews. This ensures that courses with a good mix of high ratings and solid review counts are ranked higher, while newer courses or those with fewer reviews are still given a fair chance.
Relevance-Based Sorting
Courses on ClassRanker are by default sorted by relevance, which takes into account:
- Course Rating: The average rating of each course (on a scale of 1 to 5).
- Review Count: The number of reviews the course has received.
We calculate the relevance of each course by balancing its rating with the number of reviews it has. Courses with higher ratings and more reviews naturally rank higher. However, we also ensure that courses with fewer reviews are not unfairly ranked just because of their high score.
Dynamic Baseline Values
The ranking system is driven by dynamic values that are recalculated regularly:
- Baseline Rating: The average rating of all courses in the database. This helps normalize the rankings.
- Baseline Review Count: The average number of reviews across all courses, which helps balance the weight between courses with many reviews and those with fewer reviews.
This approach ensures that as the database grows, the rankings remain fair and reflect the overall course quality and popularity.
Why This Matters
By sorting courses based on relevance, we ensure that the most useful, well-reviewed courses are prioritized, making it easier for you to discover the best content available. Our system is transparent and adapts over time, so new courses and ratings are always taken into account.
This methodology helps ClassRanker deliver relevant, high-quality course recommendations to meet your learning needs.
Course ratings and rankings are updated daily based on real student reviews and completion rates. The information shown here was last updated on February 16, 2025.
