Pressure does things to us all. Some will rush and mumble and look ill at ease, others will lose their energy and spark, and many will lack structures and stories that bring their pitch to life and leave a lasting mark. Pitching is pressure. By it’s nature there is a lot riding on it. Mike has been helping people speak at their best in these ‘spotlight’ moments for 15 years. He is in his element when helping people speak with credible passion and to look like they are in their comfort zones, even when it might be the last thing they’re feeling.
Mike trained at the prestigious London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art. His many years on stage and screen* have taught him priceless lessons about delivering well when all eyes are on you. He works closely with the brilliant Speak the Speech and a growing number of his own clients, ranging from the UN to HSBC to SMEs to sports people keen to go into television and touring.
*Credits include ‘The Martian’ with Matt Damon, ‘Silent Witness’ for the BBC, ‘The Terror’ for AMC
and a cameo with Daniel Craig and Kate Winslet in ‘A Kid In King Arthur’s Court’.
In a 1-to-1 session, Mike will take you through his ‘3 Techniques’ which cover everything necessary to look and sound assured, switched on and in control of your talk. Mike will also share brilliant tips on how to shape a pitch and get off to a great, impactful start. A session with Mike is immersive and interactive and leads to invaluable personal feedback. The tone from the start is warm, friendly and informal. A safe environment to try things out and expand your comfort zone. The goal is for everyone to do themselves and their great products justice when they speak. So the time is split between great delivery and great content.
