There’s something like 30 million presentations in the corporate world every day. Most of those are not good. And when a presentation is not good - when it’s unclear or lacking focus - you’ve wasted thousands of dollars in salaries and opportunity cost.
1-1 Executive Coaching
It’s easy to throw stones but you know what else is easy? Creating a rushed and unclear presentation. You’ve got a lot going on.
And, odds are, presentations aren’t your favorite part of the job.
Thankfully, I can help.
I’m Mike. A bit of a speech nerd. I used to fall asleep listening to taped (taped!) Martin Luther King sermons. I’ve flown all over the world helping leaders and employees ramp up their communication skills in areas like:
While there are common themes in my coaching program, I customize every engagement based on your needs. Some people want to spend months perfecting their stories. Some want to learn as much as they can in a short time. Some just need to complain to someone who isn’t a co-worker or spouse.

I’m Mike. A bit of a speech nerd. I used to fall asleep listening to taped (taped!) Martin Luther King sermons. I’ve flown all over the world helping leaders and employees ramp up their communication skills in areas like:
- Storytelling for impact
- Presentation delivery (vocal inflection, using silence, eye contact, using the stage)
- Pitching ideas
- Creating slides that help tell the story, rather than get in the way
- Applying a narrative to dry topics
- Making speeches feel like experiences
- Rallying the troops when morale is low
- Writing emails that have a bias towards action

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.

I watched Mike recite the Gettysburg Address with such gusto that I procured a musket to join the ranks. He’s also helped me take my communication to the next level, whether it’s a keynote, a vision presentation or leading a meeting.

CEO, Primer
Forbes 30 Under 30
...not just in presenting but in advocating for what I need to do to do my job well. Striving for perfectionism was killing my confidence. Through our sessions I’ve been able to let go of some things I’ve needed to let go of.

I feel so much more confident

Mike has helped me present with clarity.
CEO, ALIO
Since working with Mike, I’ve been able to consistently up-level my delivery of talks and receive glowing feedback from the audience. He helped me find the levers I needed to pull and showed me how to feel comfortable even when presenting in stressful situations. I stopped over-explaining and started presenting as if I were the right man for the job...which, with Mike’s help, I now believe to be true.

I needed to be excellent.
Modern Work Coach / Evangelist Atlassian
I needed help with how I communicate at work- 1:1, in meetings, and while making presentations. With Mike's help, I stopped feeling rattled by non-verbal feedback. I learned how to better lead meetings, in-person and virtual.
