Michael Davis, storytelling keynote speaker

Why Michael?

Michael Davis spent 29 years in financial planning, sitting across the table from clients who nodded, agreed, and then did nothing. He discovered that the right information rarely moves people. The right story does.

Today he's a TEDx speaker and the founder of Speaking CPR. He's coached leaders, sales professionals, and speakers on five continents, and his clients' TEDx and keynote talks have drawn more than 6 million views. He is the author of Story Power Trio and THE Book On Storytelling.

Michael doesn't teach people to perform. He shows them how to work with the stories already running in the room, so their message earns trust and drives action.
