WANT ONE-ON-ONE COACHING?
Which coach will help you get to the level you want?
Looking for help with a particular presentation?
Need world-class insight? Often when creating a presentation, we need to talk it through with someone who is qualified to help. Everyone can give you feedback, but few are qualified to coach. Listening to bad advice can be worse than no advice as all. We have qualified coaches who have experience working with presenters just like you. They are trained to help you transform quickly. They will help you achieve the outcome you want from a particular presentation.
Looking for a breakthrough in your skill set?
Most presenters are not aware of their specific strengths or challenges. The mistakes they make in one presentation are the same mistakes they make over and over again. This just reinforces bad habits. World-class coaches will help you identify and capitalize on your strengths. They will also help you dramatically overcome your challenges. There is no replacement for a personal presentation coach.

MICHAEL DAVIS
Certified World-Class Speech Coach & Author of The Book on Storytelling
Specialty: Business Storytelling, Speech Delivery, TED X Coaching
- Program 1: 1-Session (Accelerate Your Speaking Confidence and Impact): $500
- Program 2: 3-Sessions (High Impact Presentations Skills Coaching) Discover the tools that enable you to speak with more confidence, create greater impact and influence every time you speak, and use speaking to become better known, create more opportunities, advance you business or career faster, and earn more money: $1500
When asked how he earned the moniker “The Storytelling MD,” Michael Davis replies, “Although I greatly admire the work doctors do to earn their MD, I took a different route. I didn’t go to school for 8, 10, or 12 years. I have studied public speaking and storytelling skills since 2001. Also, I was born with the initials MD. Combine the two, and you get ‘The Storytelling MD.’”
Michael’s passion for storytelling and public speaking was not obvious early in his life. As a child, he was shy and reserved, not an indication he would grow up to be a professional public speaker and presentation skills coach.
