Craft the keynote (and brand) that turns stages into standing ovations, podcasts into platforms, and your voice into your most valuable asset.
VIP Virtual Coaching for Speakers
Show Up Like the House is Already on Its Feet
A director who sees you — not just your bullet points. A director who can shape your raw truth into scenes that transform. A director who helps you show up not as a presenter... but as a presence.
Welcome to the place where story becomes strategy. Where performance meets power. And where your ideas become unforgettable.
You don’t need another generic speech coach. You need a director.
Let's make a scene.
Oh — and in case we haven’t met — I’m Mike Ganino, author of the international bestselling book Make a Scene.
If you’ve ever walked off stage thinking, “That was good… but why didn’t it convert?” If you’ve seen someone with less spark book the gig you wanted… If you’re tired of applause without impact — you’re in the right room.
Because this isn’t a talent issue. It’s a direction issue.
And that’s where I come in.
This isn’t coaching. It’s keynote direction.
I’ve trained over 5,000 speakers to craft performances that don’t just deliver — they electrify. I was the Executive Producer for one of the biggest TEDx events helping some of the world’s smartest people translate their messages for the mainstream.

“Mike’s advice has immediately made me more compelling, more motivational, more relatable, and more myself.”
Over the years, I have consistently gone back to Mike to test out talks, from opening punch to storyline fidelity to the ‘mike drop’ closing, so I could be the truest version of me and create that critical emotional connection with my audiences.
