Meet Ultraspeaking’s Coaches

In 2017, we (Michael & Tristan) reached the finals of the World Championship of Public Speaking in just 7 months, with no prior experience. That journey became the Ultraspeaking method.

Since then, we’ve hand-selected and trained our best students through rigorous bootcamps. What makes our coaches unique is that Ultraspeaking changed their lives. They were once shy, rambly, anxious, and unsure. Now they’re executive coaches, TED Talk speakers, comedians, and speaking coaches.

They’ve been in your shoes and have everything needed to guide you through the same transformation.

Expense Through Your Company

An Ultraspeaking training isn’t just valuable for you—it’s a win for your company too. Stronger speaking skills mean you’ll better communicate your ideas, articulate your expertise, and navigate high-stakes meetings with ease. That’s why many Ultraspeaking participants expense their cohort passes, private training, and membership (like Unlimited or the paid app) to their company.
