Bio
Michael Davis helps speakers and business leaders increase their confidence, and improve their influence and impact through more memorable stories and speeches.
His passion for his work has its roots in a humiliating experience in front of his first grade class. That kept him from voluntarily speaking in front of groups of any size for the next 25 years.
A threatened job loss motivated Michael to deal with his fear. With the help of world class speakers, he discovered the skills and tools to become an influential speaker, trainer, and coach.
Michael has helped speakers, business leaders and TEDx speakers on five continents deliver presentations that have been viewed over five million times.
He’s the author of seven books on storytelling and speaking, and is the founder of Speaking CPR.
He lives in Blue Ash, Ohio with his family, and the overlords of their house, Sky the Super Chihuahua and her underling, Riley the Mini-Chihuahua.
