The view from the stage — Roi Shternin

In the room

50,000+ people. 27 countries.
One room at a time.

The bottleneck was never information. It was attention.

Roi spent nine years as a paramedic before becoming the patient. After years of invisible illness, medical dismissal, and misdiagnosis, he saw what happens when systems have data but lose the human being. Today, his work helps organizations ask what machines can do — and what must remain deeply human.

The short version

Seven years in bed. Thirty-three doctors. A diagnosis I found myself, after I stopped telling the story where I was waiting to be rescued and started telling the one where I wasn’t.

That’s not a metaphor I apply to public speaking. It’s the same mechanism. The story you tell about yourself isn’t decoration — it’s the thing everything else gets built on. Most people have never looked at theirs.

Workshops

Speech Therapy

The name is a wink. This is a communication and storytelling workshop — not speech-language therapy, and not a medical or clinical intervention of any kind.

Storytelling and presence — pairs, groups, presentations. The people who say “I have nothing to say” are always wrong, and by the end of the session they know it.

For teams, universities, and conferences.
