YOUR STORY HAS POWER

What is Your Work About?

Embrace the art of presenting your story
with confidence and creativity.

 

Presenting is crucial to your success, but it can often feel intimidating or inauthentic.

 

Mike’s immersive, hands-on program guides YOU, the artist, to use the power of your story in order to compel your listener to feel about your work the same as you do.

 

What You Say About Your Work is What Others Will Say When You Are Not Around.

 

With his signature wit and introspection, Mike empowers artists to break through these barriers,  and embrace the art of presenting your story with confidence and creativity.

Achieve an undeniable breakthrough:

  • Use Mike’s storytelling methodology to understand your personal narrative and streamline it for your presentation to prospective collectors

  • Work closely with Mike to implement personalized best practices for presenting your art with confidence and authenticity

  • Measure your progress through “before and after” recordings and one-on-one coaching with Mike

 

“I’ve become successful without a gallery in part because I am able to tell the stories of my work to the uninitiated.  It’s one of the goals of most artists (though far from my personal endgame) to make a living from our art.  We accomplish this, even in the gallery setting, by being able to make genuine connections with potential buyers.  I’ve learned that art sales are often the long game; it requires solid work but also seduction and relationships.  

I’m grateful that our paths crossed.  An art career is largely about feeling one’s way through it.  We can plan, we can set goals, but on the ground it is about authentic response.  Your work is worthwhile and important. “

“We all inherently know the importance of storytelling and how it can help us. But Mike was able to distill that into a really relevant message for me as an artist. That tool will help me to talk more in the future about what I do and hopefully convey that in a better way, and through that make better connections that will allow my art to be seen by more people.”

— Dani Dodge, Artist
