Global Public Speaking® OUR STORY

For over two decades, Global Public Speaking® (GPS) has transformed how leaders communicate on the global stage.

2003

Founded by Allison Shapira in 2003, GPS began as a vision to deliver authentic and powerful communication training to leaders worldwide.

2015–2024

Between 2015 and 2024, GPS grew into a dynamic training organization, assembling an exceptional team of coaches and trainers who partnered with hundreds of organizations. Together, they helped leaders across industries and continents find their authentic voices, empowering executives, emerging leaders, and public figures to speak with confidence and impact.

2024

In 2024, Allison made the strategic decision to wind down the part of GPS that offered programs led by other trainers and coaches. This allowed her to focus on working directly with top leaders, helping them navigate their most complex and meaningful challenges.

Today

Today, GPS serves as the cornerstone of Allison’s work, embodying her proven methodology and unwavering commitment to authentic leadership communication.

Although the company has evolved from its original model, the GPS methodology remains central to Allison’s keynote speaking and executive advisory work.

These principles and techniques—refined over years of collaboration with leaders worldwide—continue to equip senior executives and decision-makers to lead with authenticity, presence, and impact on the global stage.

We invite you to connect with Allison to explore how her speaking and advisory expertise can support your leadership team.
