  • The Seven Variants of Vocal Variety

  • The Four Stages to Successful Speech Structure

Milo’s life journey has taken him from a software developer (’85-’95) to a corporate project manager (’95-’99) to an improv professional (’00-present) doing organizational team building (using improv games) and motivational speaking. In 2004, he opened his practice as a speaking coach as well.  He draws from abilities in all of these to bring fun, informative, eye-opening presentations that will have your folks talking and laughing for weeks.


After helping hundreds as a speaking coach, Milo created his keynote called “Public Speaking: Get A’s, Not Zzzzzz’s!” based on his 2007 book by the same name.   Milo shares actionable gold nuggets on effective presentation skills.  Never to do anything without fun in it, this age-old challenge is a source of laughter and learning in his hands.
