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.
"I’m already a confident and experienced speaker – why should I get coaching from you?"
The world’s top performers — whether in sports, business, or the arts— don’t stop refining their craft just because they’re great. They work with coaches to fine-tune their performance, sharpen their edge, and push their limits.
Even Olympic champions, who have mastered their sport, still have coaches analyzing their technique, helping them make micro-adjustments, and ensuring they don’t plateau. Speaking is no different.
Just like elite athletes who continuously refine their game, great speakers never stop improving. Coaching isn’t about fixing weaknesses—it’s about maximizing strengths and ensuring you remain at the top of your game.
What to expect from my coaching
Even the most seasoned speakers can refine their craft and elevate their performance. My coaching is highly practical, efficient, and focused on fine-tuning the details that make a good talk truly exceptional. Whether you’re looking to sharpen your delivery, enhance audience engagement, refine your storytelling, or prepare for a high-stakes event, I help you make the small but powerful adjustments that set great speakers apart.
I don’t follow a rigid, one-size-fits-all approach—you don’t need a basic presentation workshop. Instead, I assess your unique strengths and areas for refinement, focusing on high-impact improvements that align with your personal speaking style. This keeps our coaching laser-focused, so you get the most value in the shortest time.
As an experienced speaker, you already have a distinct style and presence—I’m here to help you amplify it. My goal isn’t to change who you are on stage, but to help you refine and optimize what’s already working so that every talk you give is polished, engaging, and powerful.
I provide direct, constructive, and actionable feedback—honest but always with the goal of making you better. Think of it like working with a top-level coach in professional sports: even elite athletes have coaches because they know that mastery is in the details. If you’re ready to fine-tune your delivery, push beyond your comfort zone, and take your speaking to the next level, let’s work together.
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
