Michael Ronayne
As a 4 times National Finalist and UK Public Speaking Champion with a background as a professional musician, Michael Ronayne has developed a profound understanding of the different aspects of speaking and public performance.

An English Literature degree at York University coupled with 4 years' studying music at the 'Franz Liszt' Academy in Weimar (East Germany) gave Michael the foundation for his unique insights into both the technical and psychological aspects of communication.

He has written and presented communication training seminars for many major UK organisations and has spoken in front of groups of people ranging from a dozen to over 2,000.

His natural ability to communicate and relate has led to great success both in Sales and in Coaching.

Michael is also an author of many speaking articles found on this web site and on the internet. Articles
