Your presentations don't inspire the action you want.
You struggle to communicate your value in ways that truly connect.
You want to be authentic without sacrificing professionalism.
Tell stories that connect, convince, and inspire action.
I help professionals like you communicate powerfully through storytelling.
I've developed my approach as a Moth GrandSLAM champion, founder of The Moth's Education Program, and experienced nonprofit director.
Work with me on your stories, and you'll learn how to build genuine connections, make complex ideas stick, and navigate the perfect balance between personal and professional.
Let's transform your communication.

Micaela has an extraordinary combination of experience, technical skill and talent that allows her to understand and support storytellers in a unique and special way. Unlike some story coaches who have one approach that they apply to every storyteller, Micaela co-creates a developmental environment that serves the specific needs of each individual and allows the teller to discover their own voice and style.
Working with Micaela is empowering, revelatory and fun. I understood my own story much better after just 30 minutes with her.
“Working with Micaela is empowering, revelatory and fun.”
