“The success I enjoyed in the Toastmasters World Championship of Public Speaking is the result of coaching I received from Mike Davis. He helped me refine and deliver a speech that carried me all the way to the finals. His tireless dedication is outstanding! Mike Davis will help you communicate better and be more successful.”

Fortunately, the organizers of the event paired me with Michael Davis of Speaking CPR. Michael is a presentation and storytelling skills coach. In a word, I am thrilled with the results of our work together. Michael patiently worked with me to narrow down my stories to a relevant message that tied-in with the theme of the event.
Additionally, Michael provided me with a repeatable process that will help me create more stories that will have a lasting impact and influence others.
I’m so happy with Michael Davis’s skills that I’ve already asked him to work on my re-election campaign – seven years from now.
I highly recommend Michael for speech and presentation skills coaching for your group or organization. He knows how to speak and teach at a level that few can match.”

“Michael Davis was my guest expert on the monthly “Ask the Champs” call last night for the World Champions’ Edge program. We focused on the storytelling (using the spaces between the lines) and Mike was absolutely fantastic with the value he added. We also coached a contest speaker and, once again, Mike gave valuable suggestions that can help the speaker make more of an impact. Mike, thank you for representing World Class Speaking in such a positive way.”

“Mike has an easy way of working with you that isn’t intimidating… Amazing, insightful feedback… My presentations are now far more interesting and result in additional sales of my services. No matter what the level of speaking at which you may be performing, you’re sure to improve with Mike Davis.”

“Mike Davis is an engaging, inspiring speaker. I believe, however, that his greatest talent is his ability to draw the best out of those lucky enough to have him as a coach. I had this privilege for a period of four months. During this time, he constantly challenged me to improve both the content of my speeches and my delivery. I would not have made the finals in the Toastmasters World Championship of Public Speaking competition without the help of Mike Davis. I don’t know of a better Public Speaking teacher in Cincinnati.”

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.”

Michael’s mission is to help leaders, managers and sales professionals communicate with more confidence, impact, and influence. This passion is born from his own communication difficulties early in his career.
Fortunately, he discovered that public speaking is like riding a bike, swimming or driving a car - it’s a learnable skill. Once he discovered this ‘secret’ he became a voracious student of the craft. He took courses, studied some of the world’s best speakers and storytellers and continues to study presentation and business storytelling skills.
He is hired by companies and organizations, leaders, managers and sales professionals, and TEDx speakers to help them become more confident, impactful and influential communicators.
