Then all eyes turn to you, **and it's gone.** > > That's not a talent problem. It's a preparation problem. And preparing for exactly that moment is what coaching is for. ## What's coming up for you? Pick your occasion. Each page shows how we will prepare for it together. - **[Presentations & talks](https://michaelsinnhuber.com/en/public-speaking-coaching/presentations-talks/):** For the board, for clients or on stage: structure, voice and impact for your next big presentation. - **[Pitch](https://michaelsinnhuber.com/en/public-speaking-coaching/pitch-training/):** A few minutes to win over investors or clients. We build your pitch to get a decision. - **[Speaking to your team](https://michaelsinnhuber.com/en/public-speaking-coaching/leadership/):** How you talk with your team and in front of it, in one-to-ones, meetings, updates and all-hands. So that your people come with you. - **[Speaking on camera](https://michaelsinnhuber.com/en/public-speaking-coaching/video-social-media/):** Video for LinkedIn, social media or your company intranet. Coming across naturally, even when your only audience is a lens. - **[Job interviews & hearings](https://michaelsinnhuber.com/en/public-speaking-coaching/job-interview/):** This time, you are what's being presented, and every minute counts. We prepare your story and the tough questions. - **[Stage fright, whatever the occasion](https://michaelsinnhuber.com/en/stage-fright/):** Shaking hands, going blank, a racing heart: stage fright can be brought under control. Nerves become energy. ## The art of persuasion Most talks don't fail because of the topic. They fail because of a question nobody asks: **What's in it for my audience?** That is why we don't start with your script or your slides, but with your listeners. What do they already know, what do they need, and what should be different once you've finished? That gives you your key message. Anything that doesn't support it goes. Less really is more: one clear message that sticks beats twenty slides packed with facts. ## Preparation is everything A big talk doesn't begin on stage. It begins days before. We clarify everything you need to know in advance: the tech, the room, the running order and the questions most likely to come up. Then we rehearse what could happen on the day. **So you don't walk in hoping. You walk in prepared.** ## Why we do everything twice We always work on your actual content. You give your presentation, and we review it together. Then you give it again. **It's that second run that shows you how much has changed.** That is why package sessions last 90 minutes: enough time for the talk, the feedback and the second run. ## How the coaching works Every coaching follows the House of Speaking method from my book [“3, 2, 1… Reden ist jetzt Deins”](https://michaelsinnhuber.com/en/book/) (in German). Four phases, from the foundation to your moment on stage. 1. **Foundation** – Your mindset about yourself and your talk 2. **Planning & building** – Your content, with clear structure and storytelling 3. **Design** – Shaped so that it sticks 4. **Delivery** – Practice until you know you're ready [More about the House of Speaking method](https://michaelsinnhuber.com/en/house-of-speaking-method/) ## What changes **Before** - You prepare your slides, but not yourself - You hope it will go well - Nerves take over your voice and body - Afterwards you don't know what worked **After** - You know what you want to say, and why - You walk into the room with a plan - You turn nerves into energy - You get honest feedback and see your progress ## How we work together 1. **Intro call** (short · free) – We talk about what's coming up and choose the right format. 2. **Analysis** – Where do you stand today? Ideally you send a short video of yourself presenting. 3. **Practice & feedback** – On your actual content, with exercises, video feedback and repetition. 4. **Your talk** – A dress rehearsal and support right up to the moment that matters. ## Key facts - **Price:** [from €250 net (€300 gross) per hour](https://michaelsinnhuber.com/en/pricing/) - **Where:** online · Mittersill - **Languages:** English and German - **Intro call:** short and free ## Your coach I'm Michael Sinnhuber, public speaking coach, speaker and author of [“3, 2, 1… Reden ist jetzt Deins”](https://michaelsinnhuber.com/en/book/).

One-to-one training focused entirely on you and your talk. We work on content and structure, voice and body language, and your mindset. Not on practice texts, but on your actual topic and your upcoming event. ### Public speaking coaching or a public speaking course: what's the difference? A course teaches general techniques in a group. Coaching is all about you and your occasion, which is why you get results faster. ### Does public speaking coaching work online? Yes, very well. Most sessions take place by video call, and the camera often reveals voice, body language and impact more clearly than a room does. If you like, we do the dress rehearsal in person in Mittersill. ### How many sessions will I need? For one specific question, a [single session](https://michaelsinnhuber.com/en/pricing/#single-session) is often enough. For a fixed date, the [Talk sprint](https://michaelsinnhuber.com/en/pricing/#talk-sprint) with three sessions works well. If you want to improve for good, choose the [three-month programme](https://michaelsinnhuber.com/en/pricing/#stage-ready). And if you speak a lot on an ongoing basis, as an executive for example, [Sparring](https://michaelsinnhuber.com/en/pricing/#sparring) gives you a regular partner at your side. ### How much does public speaking coaching cost? A single session costs €250 net (€300 gross). Packages start at €2,000 net. [All formats and prices](https://michaelsinnhuber.com/en/pricing/) ### What language is the coaching in?
