The 3 secrets Mike reveals live.
Each one is something his private clients use the same week they learn it.
Why 10 minutes a week beats hustle for building confidence
You don't need hours of practice to change how you communicate, because consistency beats intensity. Mike breaks down the weekly minimum that moves the needle and why more practice time can backfire.
The real reason "just feel more confident" advice never works
Confidence comes after skill, not before it. Mike shows you why chasing the feeling first keeps you stuck, and what builds it instead.
A message structure that calms speaking nerves before they start
Most anxiety comes from not knowing what you're going to say next. Mike gives you the structure his clients use to think clearly and speak clearly, even under pressure.
Mike had a speech impediment as a kid.
People constantly asked him what he'd said. He worked through it, competed in college debate at the national level, and has spent 25 years helping people communicate with confidence.
Today he coaches professionals and leaders at companies like Amazon, Adobe, Microsoft, and GE Vernova. He wrote Speak With No Fear and Speak With Confidence, published by Wiley, and he runs Uplevel Communication in Austin.
On this free training, he walks you through the framework he uses with his private coaching clients.
What rising leaders say about working with Mike.
If you work with Mike, expect to be challenged, encouraged, and equipped. He has a gift for helping people see potential in themselves that they often don't see on their own.
Working with Mike has been one of the most impactful professional development experiences of my career. As a technical leader, I wanted to strengthen my communication, executive presence, and leadership effectiveness, and Mike provided practical tools I could immediately apply.
Mike has a very structured approach to teaching communication, but what stood out most is that he focuses on techniques and practice rather than scripts. He guided me in finding my own voice and developing a style that felt authentic to me.
I've had the opportunity to work alongside Mike in several ways over the last few years. First, I watched him build a sales team from the ground up. More recently, I've had the privilege of working with him as my executive communication coach.
These are individual experiences of past clients. Results vary and are not guaranteed.

Before you register
Who is this training for?
Career-driven professionals, managers, directors, and executives who know they're capable of more but feel their communication doesn't yet match their ability.
Who is this not for?
People who are fully satisfied with how they show up in meetings and presentations, or who aren't willing to practice. This is a skill you build, not a switch you flip.
What exactly are we covering?
Why "just be more confident" advice doesn't work, the habits that quietly hold capable people back, and the three-part framework Mike uses with private clients.
Do I need to prepare anything?
No. If you have a meeting or presentation coming up, keep it in mind. You'll be able to apply what Mike teaches to it.
How long is the training?
About 60 minutes, plus Q&A. Block 75 minutes.
Will there be a replay?
A replay isn't guaranteed, and the live Q&A changes every week, so plan to attend live.
I'm already a decent communicator. Why attend?
If there's any gap between how good you are at your job and how you come across in the room, this hour is worth it.
