It's time to command the stage and
To truly have your story heard, you have to be present, confident, and unapologetically YOU. Does that sound scary, babez? I'm here to help.
Truth time:
It’s about you feeling brave enough to stand on the stage and share it. It’s about you feeling bold enough to let people react to what you’re saying without needing to control it. It's about you holding space for the transformation you’re allowing your audience to have by listening to you.
(Oh, and this work will also positively affect your sales, marketshare, mindshare, and brand loyalty. BOOM. #MikeDrop)
I’m here to help you figure out your story out so you can tell it boldly and change the goddamn world Doing it.
“Mike is the Spielberg for public speakers”
- Erin King, Bestselling Author, Top-Ranked Keynote Speaker
Whether we’re talking Ted Talks, podcast episodes, self-help books, or board rooms, the “good” part of any good story comes from YOU and your ability to tell it.
My job is to help you get to the core of your story and share it in a confident, unapologetic way that creates change. I don’t want you to just tell a cool story, I want your audience to be profoundly impacted by your words.
When that happens, you create what I like to call a #MikeDropMoment. It’s in these moments that powerful shifts occur. Sometimes they’re for you, sometimes they’re for your audience. Either way, someone becomes more unapologetically themself.
Much like a movie director, the job of a keynote director is to captivate the audience. By helping you own your power in your storytelling, we can transform your audience the same way Spielberg's Oscar winners do.
My approach is all about transforming your relationship with your voice, body, and story. It's one thing to write about it - it's another to take a breath and speak the words out loud.
You're here because you want to tell better stories. You want to tap into your full potential, but you aren't quite sure how to unmask the transformational story within you.
Are you ready for it?
