Meet your speaker coach

Hello my friend, I’m Michael Aagaard. What makes me an effective and empathetic coach is my real-world experience. I’ve been an international speaker for 15 years and I’ve held keynotes in 16 different countries at 100+ events. I’ve been a speaker coach for 10 years now and I’ve coached 130+ speakers from all over the world.

This puts me in a unique position to help other speakers and guide them in their own journey of growth as a speaker. With my help they can accelerate their development rate significantly and essentially fast-track what otherwise would take years to learn on their own.

What to expect from my coaching

My coaching is very practical and focused on helping you achieve your specific goals, whether that’s improving an existing presentation, creating one from scratch, preparing for a particular event, or honing specific skills like managing nerves.

I’m not going to drag you through a rigid, set curriculum, instead I assess each speaker on an individual basis and make sure to focus on the biggest opportunities for growth. This helps make the coaching as relevant and efficient as possible.

Every speaker has their own unique style and personality, and an important part of my approach is helping you find yours. I’m here to guide you in becoming the best version of yourself on stage - not to try and mold you into a replica of someone else.

I’m direct and honest in my feedback, but I always deliver it in a kind and constructive way.

The practical stuff

Coaching is typically conducted over Zoom in one-hour sessions. For refining an existing talk, I recommend a minimum of three sessions. And if you are building a presentation from scratch, expect at least six sessions.

At the end of each session I’ll give you some thing to work on for the next session - it’s therefore crucial that you dedicate time between sessions to working on your presentation.

You’ll also get a recording of each session, so you can rewatch and refer to the lessons later on - also, this means you don’t have to take a ton of notes along the way.

Prices:

3 sessions: €670

6 sessions: €1,200
