Presence isn't something you're born with.
I'm Mike Acker. I've been coaching people to speak with confidence since 2000, and since 2019 I've coached executives full time at companies like Amazon, Adobe, Microsoft, and GE Vernova. My book Speak With No Fear has sold over 100,000 copies. I've spoken at TEDx Sawmill Lake and TEDx Warrenton.
I also had a speech impediment as a kid. I know what it feels like to have something to say and not be heard. Presence is a skill, and I'll show you how it's built.

After one session, his CEO noticed the difference. When asked how many sessions he'd done, Lamont said, "Only one."
