Hi Michael,
Thank you for the AMAZING lessons.
I now feel empowered and equipped to speak better and deal with my anxiety. I feel like my toolbox is full so now it's a matter of practice. Thank you again!

Michael conducted a five session public speaking course for five of us at the Boston Architectural College. Michael is an effective instructor and helped all of us to improve our public speaking skills in a short amount of time. If you are looking to be a better speaker, I can recommend Michael without any reservations.

Hi Michael,
I just wanted to let you know your CCAE class made a difference. This week I presented some new ideas to about 60 people in various government entities. Leading up to the presentation, I had gone through the whole routine on mapping out my talk, doing many run throughs with others while working on body gestures, eye contact and voice pace.
The exciting part was by the end of my presentation people understood the material and were engaged allowing them to ask really good questions and thus continuing the discussion.
The success here has lead to me being asked to do four more presentations to other groups in the next couple months.
Many Thanks.
Alex Loer President at Ocean Works Group Boston, MA May, 2016
I worked with Michael McCarthy on a video project aimed at letting people know about the programs offered at the Boston Architectural College. I found Michael to be observant, empathetic, and motivating. He was very easy to work with and he produced some really good work. I'd highly recommend him, and welcome the opportunity to work with him again!

Hi Michael,
I will touch on why I have enjoyed the sessions so much.
- We have created a relaxing environment where the session is customizable, informative, and enjoyable.
- Ego free and genuine conversations.
- You have ample knowledge and resources to cover a myriad of topics that I am interested in and do so in a very understanding way.
- Having access to the information after our sessions with two different resources (written and audio) is incredibly beneficial.
- Only negative is that I'm not a millionaire yet... Lol.
Thanks for everything. It really has been a pleasure working with you. More to come.
Best,

Hi Michael!
I saw that your 4 week classes are full but I was wondering if you will accept to coach us beside this meetup? We are three International students of Master of Social Entrepreneurship from Japan, Uganda and France.
And we have been selected among 25,000 students to be a part of the 6 teams which will pitch their startup idea in September at CGI to President Bill Clinton and Peace Nobel Prize Muhammad Yunus. The prize is $1M in capital seed.
Your help would be key to improve our pitch and feel comfortable at CGI.

I had the pleasure to be in Michael's public speaking class this semester. I have learned as much from Michael's carefully crafted lesson's as I have from observing his skillful way of the delivery of the lessons. Thank you, Michael, for making me a more confident speaker and person!

Michael,
It was a pleasure meeting you yesterday at the toast Masters event! Your topic was very interesting and you seemed so passionate about the topic. Would you be interested in giving a talk or team building activity to young professionals at Boston Childrens Hospital? I'm the ( project development and training coordinator for BCH and I think many young professionals would very much enjoy and benefit from your talk .
With many thanks and best of luck,

Genius! I can't thank you enough. I've been trying to navigate these video taping waters, and found it all so overwhelming.
Thank you!!!!!!

Michael,
I wanted to thank you profusely for your help. I'm confounded why this topic was not required learning anywhere in my education and my inexperience has really opened my eyes to some possible reasoning behind past disappointments. I have so many valuable notes and techniques to practice and learn from now and I feel I'm already doing better professionally.
Thanks again,
Nate Leskovic Cambridge, MA June, 2015
Michael,
I think your feedback was mostly pretty great. Keep going, brother, I appreciate what you're offering.

Have a great weekend!

Hi Michael, Thanks again for a great public speaking class experience (that was not as scary I thought it would be :) - but still a bit scary, in a good way.
Thanks!
