PRIVATE COACHING

Deliver the best presentation
of your career

Private coaching is for leaders who need personalized feedback, content planning, and drills for the moments that matter most: keynotes, interviews, Ted Talks, exec meetings, showing up confidently on camera, and more.

We focus on the root cause of what is holding you back in your speaking.

What our students are saying

Real stories, real transformations

James Stuber

five stars

I’ve always been a poor conversationalist.

It’s because I think too much.

I think about the “best” way to phrase what I’m saying instead of chatting.

Ultraspeaking changed that.

Haider Almosawi
five stars
Ultraspeaking is my favorite (and the most transformative) cohort-based course I’ve taken so far… by far.

Chetan Chawla

five stars
I engaged with Michael and Tristan in order to incorporate public speaking training into one of my entrepreneurship classes. They did a great job in training students not only in public speaking but also how to distill the essence of their businesses into compelling stories. I highly recommend Ultraspeaking to anyone seeking to take their public speaking skills to the next level.
Marcy Willis
five stars
I’m a coach myself and sometimes a coach needs a coach, too!! Loved the experience working with Michael, his calm, creative and supportive approach provided a shift for me and inspired me with some great content for my pitch!! Very fun process. Highly recommend and oh yeah, the way I found him was through the cards that they sell. I recommend them to clients who want to work on using more metaphors, analogies in their day-to-day.

Allesandra Vincent

five stars
Great team building experience and so much fun! It was very interactive and really pushed me out of my comfort zone. In just a few short hours I built up some confidence to get on stage and stop doubting myself. Highly recommended!

I’m taking part in the latest Ultraspeaking, and I’m loving the discovery of my spontaneous self. How come no one told me that planning and preparation don’t need to be applied to every context!?

Tristan de Montebello

Still unsure?
Let me share my story...

I didn’t grow up as a natural speaker. In fact, I used to become beet red whenever the attention was on me. I hated it.

 

In 2017, I took on a challenge that felt impossible: I decided to compete in the World Championship of Public Speaking. I had no formal training, no polished speeches—just a burning desire to figure out why speaking felt so hard.

 

That’s when Michael entered the picture. As my coach, he didn’t just teach me how to refine a speech or control my nerves. He helped me uncover something far more transformative: a way to speak that felt natural, spontaneous, and true to who I am.

 

In just seven months, I stood on that stage as a finalist in the world’s biggest public speaking competition. But for me, it wasn’t just about the competition or the trophy—it was about unlocking a version of myself I didn’t know existed.

 

That experience changed everything. I learned to trust my voice, connect with people, and, most importantly, enjoy speaking. Michael and I knew we had to share this discovery with others. That’s how Ultraspeaking was born.

 

Every day, we see people transform—students who walk into their first session full of doubt and hesitation, only to leave weeks later saying things like:

“I didn’t just become a better speaker—I became a more confident version of myself.”

Or:

“This course gave me the tools to not only speak up at work but also to show up more fully in every part of my life.”

I know the fear and frustration you might be feeling right now. But I also know what’s on the other side of it: the confidence to walk into any room, share your voice, and actually enjoy the process.

 

This isn’t about scripts or perfection. It’s about finding your voice, the one that’s already inside you, waiting to be unlocked.

 

So, here’s my question for you:

 

Will you take the first step? Because the truth is, the only thing standing between you and the speaker you’re meant to be is this decision.

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.
