Workshop will be led by John Bates, Mike Michalowicz’s personal speaking coach for the past 15 years.
We live in a world that is more “connected,” yet more impersonal than ever. Attention is fragmented. Audiences are distracted. And most speakers, whether on stage or on screen, blend into the noise:
Same tone. Same delivery. Same forgettable experience.
When that happens, it doesn’t matter how good your message is, it gets ignored. The speakers who stand out aren’t the most polished, they’re the most human.
This two-day workshop is about learning how to command attention, create real connection, and own any room—live or virtual—when it matters most.
Same tone. Same delivery. Same forgettable experience.

Mike Michalowicz
Mike Michalowicz
Mike Michalowicz has spent three decades learning the power of human-rich communications - be it on stage, in person, or through a video conference (no slide deck, we assure you). When you know exactly how to craft a message that pierces through the digital noise, you (and the client) win.
Now, you can learn the exact strategies that made Mike a powerhouse, taught by the coach who helped him get there. You are about to learn how to dominate the stage when you keynote, to win the prospect when you sell. You will learn how to transfer trust through story and messaging, just like Mike does.
