One of the most powerful opportunities you’ll ever get.
Please, don’t settle for giving a presentation that’s just “fine.”
“Fine” speeches aren’t memorable. Fine speeches don’t lead to results.
But what if you could 10x your speaking fee, propel your next book up the bestseller list, and spend the conference reception shaking the line of hands waiting for you?
I’ve traveled the world helping everyone from budding authors to global brands. I’ve developed and honed presentations that became instruments of impact, change, and growth.
Taking the stage is a powerful opporunity.
I help leaders craft, refine, and deliver impactful presentations—the kind people talk about long after the conference is over. The kind people remember.
HI. I'm Mike
I’m a sucker for a well-told story. As humans, we all are. And I care about helping you find yours and to refine it into a message that gets results.
It always humbles me when I look at my client list: Olympic gold medalists, NYT best-selling authors, global corporations; big names on big stages. But I’m just as passionate about small names on small stages with stories that open big doors.
So, if you’re getting on a stage soon, or you regularly get on a stage but know your abilities don’t yet match your goals, let’s talk.
My sweet spot is helping:
- Up-and-coming authors
- Ambitious executives
- Driven individuals who want to make a difference
- Teams that need an upgrade on their presentations
Big or small, I work well with people who are excited about what they have to say.
If there's a mistake to be made, I've made it. And I can help you avoid it.

Last year, in a moment of weakness, we signed up for meal delivery from Hello Fresh. They have a cool logo, a cool name and – most importantly – a product that would alleviate stress in my life.

win your audience
Metaphorically speaking, a lot of us do the same when we start a speech: we make it all about ourselves. We read our resume to the audience.
Y’all. We don’t need to do that. At best that comes off as braggy; more likely it comes off as insecure.
Don't be that guy.
