Janan Sarwar, PharmD and I met Professional Speaking Coach Michael Davis at The Medipreneurs Summit in Cincinnati, OH in August 2022.  During the session Michael led, we learned storytelling skills.  Michael has a passion for helping people get their messages and stories out into the world.  The focus of our discussion today is public speaking, storytelling, and relating to others in spoken or written word in spite of our various backgrounds, experiences, and priorities.

Bio - Michael Davis, https://speakingcpr.com/ 

Michael is a recovering terrified speaker and founder of Speaking CPR, LLC. He specializes in transforming professionals into influential communicators who effectively sell their products and services, and increase their visibility. 

His passion for his work began when he was humiliated in front of his first grade class. This experience convinced him to never again stand before people or be the center of attention. 

With the help of world class mentors and industry experts, he discovered how to become an impactful speaker, trainer, and coach. 

His expertise has served business leaders, sales professionals, and speakers on five continents. He’s helped TEDx speakers create and develop talks that have achieved over five million views. He’s written seven books about business storytelling, — including The Book On Storytelling — and online courses focused on improving your presentation skills. 

In his spare time, he loves to spend time with his long-time partner Linda and the overlords of their house (chihuahuas Sky and Riley). He loves exercise, Indy Car racing, watching movies, visiting beaches, and consuming stories in every format.
