The occasion varies. The craft behind it doesn't. ### At work Coaching for **pitches, board presentations, talks and video**, and for the job interview that really counts. For one big occasion or for the long term. - [Presentations & talks](https://michaelsinnhuber.com/en/public-speaking-coaching/presentations-talks/) - [Pitch training](https://michaelsinnhuber.com/en/public-speaking-coaching/pitch-training/) - [Speaking on camera](https://michaelsinnhuber.com/en/public-speaking-coaching/video-social-media/) - [Job interviews & hearings](https://michaelsinnhuber.com/en/public-speaking-coaching/job-interview/) - [Explore coaching](https://michaelsinnhuber.com/en/public-speaking-coaching/) ### As a leader Leadership happens in conversation. **How you talk with your team and in front of it** determines trust, motivation and whether people get behind change.

Workshops at your offices, online or in Mittersill, keynotes at your event, across Austria, Germany and Switzerland. - [Team workshop](https://michaelsinnhuber.com/en/workshops-talks/team-workshop/) - [Keynotes](https://michaelsinnhuber.com/en/workshops-talks/keynotes/) - [Workshops & talks](https://michaelsinnhuber.com/en/workshops-talks/) ## Why speaking is the skill of the future AI writes copy, builds slides and summarises reports in seconds. **What it can't do is stand in front of people, build trust and persuade with clarity.** The more work machines take over, the more it matters when a person speaks: in a meeting, in a pitch, on stage or in front of the whole company. The good news: persuasive speaking isn't a gift, it's a craft. And a craft can be learned, ideally before you urgently need it. ## The House of Speaking method Everything I offer is built on the same system: coaching, workshops, keynotes and presentation design. I describe it in my book ["3, 2, 1… Reden ist jetzt Deins"](https://michaelsinnhuber.com/en/book/) (in German). 1. **Foundation** – Your mindset, the basis for clarity and conviction 2. **Planning & building** – Content that is clear and well structured 3. **Design** – Visuals that support what you say 4. **Delivery** – Your moment in front of the audience: the moment of truth [More about the House of Speaking method](https://michaelsinnhuber.com/en/house-of-speaking-method/) ## What clients say > “Professional, empathetic and effective in reaching our goals!” > — Mag.

[…] Thanks to the intensive collaboration and the way he involved us, we took away a great deal and it has stuck!” > — Dr. Josef Obergantschnig, Chief Investment Officer, Security KAG (translated from German) ## Who I am At school and at university I hated speaking in front of others. I trembled and never volunteered. Then came a Saturday seminar at the Vienna University of Economics and Business. Just to get it over with, I put my hand up first. The professor's positive feedback encouraged me to do it again. **That small step changed everything.** Next came almost seven years in sales at Hewlett-Packard, where every sales conversation was a presentation in miniature. Since 2012 my agency [MCPREZI](https://mcprezi.com/en/) has created presentations that have won contracts worth millions. Along the way I learned that even the best presentation achieves little if the person giving it fails to convince. That is why today I prepare people for exactly the moments I used to dread, from startup pitches to keynotes in front of large audiences. I tell the whole story in my book [“3, 2, 1… Reden ist jetzt Deins”](https://michaelsinnhuber.com/en/book/) (in German).

Most people get in touch when the big day is next week. That works: the [Talk sprint](https://michaelsinnhuber.com/en/pricing/#talk-sprint) gets you ready fast. But nobody training for a marathon starts the week before the race. **Start earlier, and you go into every talk with something in reserve.** ### "I just can't do it." Is that true? No. Nobody is born with a speaking gene, and neither was I. As a student I trembled before every presentation. Persuasive speaking is **a craft, not a talent**: structure, voice, body language and the right mindset can all be learned. ### How long does it take to get better? Less time than you think. The first step often makes a big difference, as my own story shows. Most people feel **more confident after the very first session**. The rest is practice and development, which I describe in my [book](https://michaelsinnhuber.com/en/book/). ### Who is public speaking coaching for? For anyone who speaks in front of others and wants to persuade: executives, founders and speakers, as well as people preparing for a job interview, a talk at an event or a social media video. ### How much does public speaking coaching cost? A single session costs €250 net. For one specific talk there is the Talk sprint at €2,000, and for lasting change the three-month programme "Stage ready" at €5,900. All prices are net. [All formats and prices](https://michaelsinnhuber.com/en/pricing/) ### Where does the coaching take place? By video call or in person in Mittersill (Salzburg, Austria), in English or German. Workshops run at your offices, online or in Mittersill, keynotes at your event, across Austria, Germany and Switzerland. ### What is the House of Speaking method?
