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.
