I recently worked with Mike to improve my confidence in public speaking, and it was a fantastic experience. He made me feel comfortable from the start and provided clear, practical advice that really helped me. His lessons are engaging, organized, and easy to follow. I looked forward to our 1:1 sessions and always learned something new. With his guidance, I learned how to structure my speeches, use my voice effectively, and handle my nerves. Thanks to Mike, I now feel much more confident and prepared when speaking in front of others. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to boost their public speaking skills!

After reading Mike Acker‘s personal experience, I was encouraged to seek help for paralyzing stage fright. The first meeting I did my presentation several times, got feedback specific for the topic I was preparing, and a folder and video to review with suggestions demonstrated by Mike Ackerman. Being a visual learner, having the video to refer to was empowering, a resource I needed to help me overcome fear of public speaking. Well worth opening myself up to this experience. He is compassionate and easy to talk to about what you need.

Mike is amazing! He helped me prepare for a conference panel discussion in a matter of 2 weeks. He helped me gain confidence in myself and really tested me to be prepared for my big day. I even bought one of his e-books which was just as amazing. I highly recommend Mike!

Mike is professional and exactly what I was searching for in a speaking coach. He went in detail regarding an attribute that I was lacking and on ways to overcome it. 10/10
