Everything you need to improve your public speaking.

Learn the fastest, most effective way to improve your public speaking and communication skills by focusing on delivery—because how you say something matters more than what you say—with exercises that can boost confidence and influence.

In the age of technology, we’re getting worse at communicating by the day, but the good news is, everyone can improve their speaking. 

Through physical exercises, you will be able to talk to a group with complete confidence or simply effectively tell a joke.  Don’t Say Um challenges our preconceived notions of good speaking techniques and offers powerful tools to become master communicators.

 

Michael Chad Hoeppner is the foremost expert on effective speaking.

He’s coached presidential candidates, prominent CEOs, and Ivy League deans on their communication skills.

For nearly 15 years, Michael has been developing bespoke tools for individuals, companies, and organizations giving them the communication skills necessary to reach their highest goals in work and life. Now, he shares his wide‑ranging knowledge in Don’t Say Um.

Training tools incoming.

Don’t Say Um is filled with detailed walkthroughs of physical exercises that address issues from eye contact to filler words, warm-ups to nerves. 

But we don’t stop there.
