Speaker Smith

"I've been a public speaker for more than two decades and no one has been better for how to structure
and improve my talks than Michael Hidalgo. While other coaches offered vague platitudes about 'good energy,' Michael dissects what works and what doesn't with surgical precision. If you're serious about improving as a speaker, rather than just collecting compliments, Michael's coaching is the intellectual equivalent of strength training—challenging in the moment, but transformative in the long run."

- Jonathan Merritt, critically-acclaimed author of Learning to Speak God from Scratch

"Working with Michael was truly transformative. His coaching completely changed the way I approach giving talks. I feel more confident, engaging, and effective than ever before. He has the ability to make complex skills feel accessible and enjoyable, and his sessions were not only enlightening but a genuine treat. I cannot recommend him highly enough!"

- Mariana L. Meyers, MD FAIUM, Vice Chair of Mentorship and Professional Development, University of Colorado School of Medicine

“Michael is a great coach and better person. I had to develop a brand new speech on short notice, Michael came in we built a speech that spun into multiple opportunities before the event was even done. His ability to break down the concept of storytelling and build it into a captivating experience for the audience is fantastic. I hope to be working with him for years to come.”
