What our clients are saying
Phil O'Brien
“I attended a one-to-one public speaking training program with Mike, where he would assist me with my abilities, help me overcome my nervousness and work on refining my technique. We did a number of tasks and different exercises designed to break down some of my preconceptions, and build my confidence, authority, credibility and likability and he genuinely tailored his service to ensure that the work we did would be specifically helpful to me and my needs as an Entrepreneur looking to find a buyer for a thriving event technology business and as a CEO building a client base as fast as possible. I believe Mike, and his carefully crafted training programme, made a big difference to me and I did indeed win a markedly higher proportion of the clients I pitched to and I have now sold my business to Blackstone for an EBITDA multiple that I am very pleased to have achieved.”
Berta Franco
“Mike is the only public speaking coach that could really make an impact on me. The other techniques on how to speak and move in a certain way could have never helped with my fear. On the opposite, Mike wants us to be who we really are on stage. He works with us so that we let our real selves shine through because, as he says, "it's not fear of public speaking, it's fear of being yourself". That's the greatness of his teaching.”
Our approach
School of Connection founder Mike Sokolin has developed a method for approaching public speaking that goes far beyond typical training.
Having spent over four years in psychoanalysis five times a week, he began to recognise the unconscious patterns that drive all humans and how they affect how we show up in the world when we present to others. He understood that by helping people shine a light on these unconscious patterns, they can move beyond them and begin expressing and communicating with more authenticity.
He mixes these elements with his background in public speaking competitions, theatre acting and Meisner training to help people move through fear and learn how to fully express and become more accepting of themselves.

Fear and anxiety come from the mind.
Here’s how we can help you overcome that.
All fear and anxiety come from the mind. The brain sends a message to the body saying: “there’s a lion in the room, you are in danger, get out!” and the body responds accordingly by sweating, shaking, freezing, going blank etc.
The problem, of course, is that there is no lion in front of us.
The process of psychoanalysis can help us in changing this automatic, unconscious response pattern so that we can train our minds to feel safe instead of perceiving danger.
Our one-on-one training approach integrates aspects of Freudian psychoanalytical inquiry with a more contemporary and holistic approach in helping our clients overcome their fears.
Through shedding light into our unconscious, we become more aware of our underlying thinking patterns that govern our behaviour and decision making. As we begin to eradicate unhealthy, fear-based thinking patterns we begin to live a truer and more fulfilling life, one that is in accordance with our ’truer self’.
Understanding our psychological landscape helps us shape our identity and belief system. This process has the capacity to help change all areas of your life.
Our founder, Michael Sokolin has a background in psychoanalysis and has formulated an integrated methodology that synthesises aspects of Carl Jung’s work and the Eastern teachings of Sri Aurobindo.
