Where communication becomes a trained skill, not a natural talent.
As the CEO and founder of GK Training, Michael pioneered an innovative approach to communication training that relied on physical exercises to reimagine the experience of public speaking.
He's coached presidential candidates, prominent CEOs, and Ivy League deans on their communication skills.



He has spoken for events and organizations around the world about the power of kinesthetic learning and embodied congnition. The aim of each talk Michael gives is simple, make people see that they can learn new things, and it is often our bodies that can unlock our full potential.
From a recents talk like, “Public Speaking with AI, and the New Dominance of Delivery” at the Hudson Ideas Festival to “How to Sound Like a Pro” for the WISER Symposium sponsored by the NFL Michael applies his expertise to illuminate how we communicate affects every aspect of our lives.
