Public speaking coaching: be convincing when it counts
Public speaking coaching with Michael Sinnhuber prepares you for the talks that matter: a presentation, a pitch, speaking to your team, a video or a job interview. We work on your actual content using the House of Speaking method: mindset, structure, design and delivery. Online or in Mittersill (Austria), in English or German. From €250 net (€300 gross) per hour.
You know exactly what you want to say. 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
For the board, for clients or on stage: structure, voice and impact for your next big presentation.
-
Pitch
A few minutes to win over investors or clients. We build your pitch to get a decision.
-
Speaking to your team
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
Video for LinkedIn, social media or your company intranet. Coming across naturally, even when your only audience is a lens.
-
Job interviews & hearings
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
Shaking hands, going blank, a racing heart: stage fright can be brought under control. Nerves become energy.
How the coaching works
Every coaching follows the House of Speaking method from my book “3, 2, 1… Reden ist jetzt Deins” (in German). Four phases, from the foundation to your moment on stage.
-
Foundation Your mindset about yourself and your talk -
Planning & building Your content, with clear structure and storytelling -
Design Shaped so that it sticks -
Delivery Practice until you know you're ready
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.

Your coach
I'm Michael Sinnhuber, public speaking coach, speaker and author of “3, 2, 1… Reden ist jetzt Deins”. I used to dread every presentation myself. Today I prepare people for exactly those moments: more than 500 people and over 150 companies so far.
“Thank you […] above all for your time and patience! Thanks to your constructive feedback and your positive manner, I have more faith in myself again and will keep working on my presentation skills.”
Frequently asked questions
What is public speaking coaching?
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 is often enough. For a fixed date, the Talk sprint with three sessions works well. If you want to improve for good, choose the three-month programme. And if you speak a lot on an ongoing basis, as an executive for example, 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
What language is the coaching in?
English or German, online or in Mittersill. Team workshops run at your offices, online or in Mittersill.
