Make A Scene: Create On Stage Stories and Experiences They’ll Never Forget
In a world where storytelling rules every stage, you don’t need another crash course on frameworks or a deep dive into narrative theory—you need the confidence and direction to craft and deliver stories that command attention. In this interactive masterclass, storytelling expert Mike Ganino takes the stage as your personal director.
Drawing on years of performance coaching and stage experience, Mike will guide you like an acting coach on Broadway or in a Hollywood studio—bringing your stories to life with the precision of a director. Through live coaching and real-time story transformations, you’ll learn how to harness the five performance languages—voice, movement, expression, pacing, and presence. Walk away with actionable feedback, a sharpened stage presence, and the ability to create stories that stick in your audience’s minds long after you’ve left the stage.
Whether you’re stepping into the spotlight for the first time or a seasoned speaker wanting to elevate your impact, this session is your backstage pass to unforgettable storytelling.
Meet Mike Ganino:
Mike Ganino is a storytelling expert, speaking coach, and creative director who helps professional speakers, bestselling authors, and entrepreneurs make unforgettable scenes on stage. He’s the author of the new book Make A Scene: Storytelling, Stage Presence, and the Art of Being Unforgettable in Every Spotlight, a guide to showing up boldly and connecting deeply through with storytelling + stage presence.
A former TEDx Executive Producer and sommelier (because why not?), Mike has trained over 5,000 speakers using his signature Mike Drop Method—helping them craft messages that hit harder than a double espresso. His work has shaped viral TEDx talks, launched bestselling books, and transformed even the most stage-shy scientists into magnetic performers.
When he’s not turning everyday presenters into speaking superstars, you’ll find him sipping wine, doing Olaf and Sven (Frozen) impressions to make his daughter laugh, or trying (unsuccessfully) to convince his dog Elliott to appreciate Shakespeare
