Speaker Management
spē-kər ma-nij-mənt
Also known as swiss army knife, juggler, shoulder to cry on and life guard.
Speaker managers help shape their speakers’ careers and guide them toward new opportunities while avoiding pitfalls.
They are responsible for the speakers’ public appearances, maintaining close relationships with speaker bureaus and manage their contracts and negotiations. Successful speaker managers are the ones that act as managers, agents and marketing & communication experts and lead a team of creative professionals such as stylists, video producers, web developers, ghostwriters and publicists to help speakers with their overall positioning and prepare them to meet and set future trends.
Personal Branding
pər-sə-nəl bran-diŋ
Also known as the crossroads of reality and perception.
Personal branding is not about self-promotion. It is about putting forward the qualities that define you as an individual and enhancing your overall professional image. Personal branding is a journey of defining yourself and committing to the values and behaviors you support. Managing your personal brand requires you to be a great role model and a voice that others can depend on. A personal branding expert will help you create and view your personal brand as an asset that must be managed with the intention of helping others benefit from having a relationship with you and/or by being associated with your work.

Presence and influence are leadership requirements.
A presence & inspired leadership coach enables you to discover and develop your unique personal presence and authentic leadership style, by helping you define who you want to be and identify the values that shape your everyday decisions. Coaching is personalized and conducted one-on-one for a defined period of time. By the end of the coaching period you will not only renew your way of thinking and understand the way other people see you, but you will have all the tools, knowledge and experience to perform as a visionary leader in your area of work – by inspiring others.
Online Presence

Stand out from the crowd & share your ideas with the world.
Online presence is your brand’s online reputation.

Digital branding is your online unique identity. By optimizing your online presence you make sure that your brand values are communicated properly on the Internet, you make your brand easily accessible and targeted to the right audience and you help your brand rise in search engine rankings above your competitors.
Thank you for your trust
Maria is an outstanding Personal Branding Strategist. But that title does no justice to her breadth and quality of service. She has been instrumental in helping me develop, grow and market my brand. She is truly a trusted advisor who goes above and beyond to ensure your success.
Collaborating with Maria has been an extraordinary experience. Her exceptional skills in attentive listening and interpretation, combined with profound insights, illuminated a distinct pathway to success for us. Maria’s expertise is especially invaluable for professionals grappling with the challenge of expressing their Unique Selling Proposition (USP) or feeling stagnant in determining their next career move. Having Maria on your speed dial is not just a recommendation; it’s a strategic advantage.
You have no idea how much you are helping me at this point. The Fast Track Workshop was exactly what I needed to move on to my next steps with clarity and confidence.
Maria isn’t just a speaker manager; she’s a career magician, personal mentor, and, on occasion, a spontaneous therapist all rolled into one. With her guidance, my professional journey was not just about grabbing the mic, but also about growth, laughter, and some truly unforgettable backstage pep talks. If you ever have the chance to work with her, grab it – and keep an eye on her, this woman’s entrepreneurial spirit and eye for opportunities knows no limits!
Maria Papacosta is an exceptional Strategist for the top experts and thought leaders. Maria adds even more value to her clients by using mastery as a Presence & Impact Coach. This is a privilege to work with Maria.
One of the most refreshing feelings to experience, especially in times of crisis and uncertainty, is the one of pure kindness. Met Maria Papacosta not a long time ago remotely through our network. She has been surprising me ever since with her kindness and generosity which are way over and above from what her professional role includes. Maria, people like you are blessed with the gift of energizing everyone around them and spreading inspiration. Keep up the amazing work!
Maria’s deep knowledge and many years of experience in the speaking industry along with her marketing expertise and coaching skills make her one of a kind. She works with professionalism, integrity and mindfulness and always delivers extra value to her clients.
The Fast Track Strategy Session was eye-opening, informative, and inspiring. It helped me define my personal brand with clarity and passion!
Maria is the consummate professional who I trust fully because she consistently has exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend MSC Bureau and their strategy process to anyone seeking to elevate their game.
If there was a “Genie” for speakers and consultants, its bottle would say MSC Bureau. These guys are ridiculously good at what they do and at the same time, the most kind and generous people you will ever meet. If you are a speaker, a consultant or anyone who wants to build a brand out of yourself, you can’t afford not to work with them.
