Mike Fruciano
Founder and CEO
Mike Fruciano founded Effective Presentations in 2004. Today, he leads the company and occasionally delivers workshops and coaches clients, working with everyone from first-time presenters to executives preparing for a board meeting.
Before starting the company, Mike spent ten years as National Sales Director for United Insurance Companies. He led and trained a sales force that generated more than $12 million in monthly revenue. He then spent several years as National Sales Director for the Zig Ziglar Performance Group, working directly with Zig.
Zig was the most consistent person Mike had ever worked with. He treated people with the same respect and gave his work the same attention, regardless of who was in the room. Mike has tried to run his own company the same way.
In a workshop, Mike gives people time to practice, specific feedback, and another chance to try it. He helps them recognize what they already do well and work through the habits that get in their way. The goal is for participants to leave knowing what to work on and how to keep improving.
Mike has worked with Shell Dredging for more than 15 years. That relationship has taken him to Australia, Canada, Papua New Guinea, and Suriname to lead presentations for the company. After an engagement with Diamondback Industries, the COO called to tell him that working with Mike and Effective Presentations had been the company’s biggest win of the year.
Effective Presentations works with businesses, government agencies, and individuals across the country. The company has earned more than 1,200 five-star Google reviews.
Mike lives in Lakewood, Colorado, and serves as an elder at Redemption Hills Church. Outside of work, he enjoys reading, writing, mountain biking, and pickleball.
