In 2017, Tristan de Montebello stood in front of 3,000 people on the final stage of the World Championship of public speaking. 

Despite starting with zero experience in public speaking, Tristan became the fastest competitor in history to reach the finals in seven months.

Afterwards, Tristan de Montebello and his coach Michael Gendler co-founded Ultraspeaking.

They went on to coach thousands of students, ranging from professional keynote speakers to people suffering from crippling anxiety. 

They found out why most efforts to improve public speaking fail: you have to learn to enjoy speaking before you can get better at it. 

It’s just like swimming. If you don’t learn how to float before you try to swim across the pool, you’ll flail around, exerting needless energy.

Through thousands of hours of coaching, they developed and refined a fun and gamified coaching methodology that produces rapid results.

While many programs focus too much on the symptoms of nervousness, their approach tackles the underlying root problems to unlock a fundamentally different relationship to speaking.

Today, Ultraspeaking is a global community made up of thousands of individuals passionate about learning the skills to live a fully-expressed life.
