Testimonials
Berta Franco
“Mike is the only coach that could really make an impact on me. The other techniques on how to speak and move in a certain way could have never helped with my fear. On the opposite, Mike wants us to be who we really are on stage. He works with us so that we let our real selves shine through because, as he says, "it's not fear of public speaking, it's fear of being yourself". That's the greatness of his teaching.”
Andy Topp
“A proper in depth look at the root cause of fear of public speaking. Mike deals with the fundamentals rather than learning tricks to disguise the fear. That's not to say he doesn't give you tips to help you through but once you have a better and deeper understanding of the issue, the quick win tips are less necessary. And then it was just a lot of FUN which I have never before said about public speaking. Thanks Mike”
Tanya Korobka
“I attended Mike's taster session and in the first 5 minutes of listening to him, I was SOLD! His life philosophy and public speaking techniques are so authentic and playful, you just totally lose yourself in them. Having just finished the course, I can honestly assure that it was the best thing I did for myself this year. Worth every penny and more! We were vulnerable, passionate, authoritative, spontaneous and with each session, I found myself dropping my mask, becoming less self-conscious and most importantly – actually connecting with the audience (which has been difficult before). Mike's course is more than just a public speaking course, it's a form therapy - it helps you to find yourself, own yourself and become more honest and present with all your communications – be it with friends, acquittances or colleagues”
Course Overview
Our 7 Week course provides students with practical solutions for building confidence and a holistic approach to public speaking that is focused on discovering the human behind the speaker. Packed full of exercises designed to arm you with the tools you need to harness your natural speaking style.
Week 1: The Hot Seat
A deep dive into exploring our own vulnerability as a way to facilitate deeper human connection. The Hot Seat is designed to help you build trust with both audiences and with yourself whilst learning how to drop your “mask” and communicate naturally.
Week 2: Honesty & Authenticity
We all admire people who are able to be honest and truly authentic, so why is it so hard for us to do it ourselves? In this session we look at methods that encourage to speak with open honesty and transparent authenticity.
Week 3: Energy
Everyone hates the feelings of anxiety and nervousness, but what if we could use this energy FOR us rather than against us? Our Energy class is designed to help people transform anxiety in power through movement and practical exercises that get you out of your head and into your body.
Week 4: Emotions
Learning to speak with emotions is one of the most influential skills you can acquire. In this class we explore using emotive speaking to impact the way your audience feels and create memorable speeches.
Week 5: Pausing and Intimacy
The power of the pause. On week 5 you will be taught how to build impact through silence, how to create a sense of intimacy through stillness and how to have authority to through learning effective pausing.
Week 6: Storytelling
Humans love stories, which is why the storytelling class is arguably the most fun class of the course. We cover storytelling narrative, improv techniques, clowning exercises and playfulness to help make you the most engaging and entertaining speaker as possible.
Week 7: Final Speeches
In the last week, you will get a chance to deliver your final speech in front a small audience - an excellent opportunity to put into practice everything you’ve learnt.
Practice, Practice, Practice:
In all of our classes, there are plenty of opportunities to practice speaking. In weeks 2 - 7, you will deliver prepared speeches on themes set by your teacher, who will also provide feedback that will help you to grow and develop throughout.
