How to Become a Better Speaker

For more than ten years Mike has helped men and women who feel terrified and ineffective when speaking in front of a group. His friendly, compassionate and humorous approach has helped these people become confident and capable when leading meetings, sharing their ideas in group settings, and exchanging feedback with others.

Have people within your organization avoided opportunities that might require them to speak in public? Do you recognize people with great potential who let their own fear of public speaking keep them in a lesser role than they could fill?

Public speaking ranks high on most people's list of things to avoid. However, it is just another job skill that can be developed with proper training.

Mike will put his extensive experience to work training the people within your organization to improve their communication skills.

These workshops will open doors to greater communication and productivity. Mike will also touch on other forms of communications (e-mail, telephone) and show how these can become more effective tools, too.


Training Programs

Mike will motivate and educate your team members on professional and personal development skills that will help them achieve greater productivity and success within your organization. Topics include:
Business Communications (including e-mail, phone, IM)
Time Management
Work/Home Balance
Customer Service
Public Speaking
Negotiation Skills
Mike can custom design many types of workshops to suit your needs, from Lunch-n-Learns to multi-day programs.

Individual Mentoring

Mike also serves as a mentor/coach to individuals who seek more in-depth feedback and guidance on their public speaking skills.

Mentoring is appropriate for executives and career-track professionals whose current public speaking abilities have held back their career progression.

With Mike's emotional encouragement and presentation expertise, several of Mike's mentees have developed into award-winning presenters.


Mike can coach you and the members of your organization to speaking success!
