Performance
Masterclass
You’ll observe (and maybe even join in) live coaching sessions that are as transformative for those in the audience as those on the stage. We work like directors in theater rather than typical speaking coaches. In fact, after watching Michael and Amy lead a masterclass, Scott Stratten remarked, “I was mesmerized watching you two coach public speakers. I’d pay admission just to witness it. It was like watching art being made.”
