“From the very beginning of time, we have been telling stories. Stories are engaging, motivating, compelling, memorable. That’s why everyone must read Michael Davis’ THE Book on Storytelling.’ It is an amazing cornucopia of tips and ideas he has collected over the years from some of the best in the field.
The title says it all. This is ‘THE Book on Storytelling.’ There are 52 chapters, each a gem. What follows each chapter is a “Recommended Resource.” This alone is worth the price of the book.
I can guarantee you it is THE best. And I’ve read them all.”

If storytelling is the key, Michael Davis is the locksmith. He holds the keys to your success in storytelling. ‘THE Book on Storytelling’ will fundamentally change the way you see storytelling. As a result, more open doors will open to you than you ever thought possible.
I’ve met some coaches who show you how to discover your story. I’ve met others who show you how to develop it. Still I’ve met others who show you how to deliver it. However, Michael Davis is the ONLY one I’ve met who shows you how to do all three! He’s truly the one-stop-shop for remarkable stories.

Michael Davis exceeded every expectation and was one of the best coaches I ever worked with. His quiet professionalism, and unsurpassed knowledge of storytelling helped make my Ted X Cincinnati talk extremely powerful.
I would recommend Michael, as a story and speaking coach to anyone with a high stakes talk to give. Michael will help you take your speech from good to great!”

He truly has a gift in connecting with the heart of each person he works with and helping them to unleash their story into their talk. All of the speakers raved about his work with them. Each of them has had broad experience in speaking, but they all felt that working with Michael raised the bar on their ability to speak. You can listen to all of his speakers, Anthony Munoz, Richard Bernstein and Graeme Joffe, at http://www.tedxcincinnati.com/talks/.”

“Investing in Michael is one of the best investments I have ever made. I speak on the subject of diversity in the workplace, which can at times be a difficult topic to discuss.
Michael taught me a repeatable process that allows me to create a foundational concept, a logical structure, an opening that grabs the audience’s attention, and a conclusion that encourages my audience to take action that will save them time and money.
I found Michael easy to work with, flexible with his schedule, and a wealth of information about the art of speaking. If you need to improve your presentation or speech, I highly recommend you consider hiring Michael. It is one of the best investments you can make in your own growth.”
