Misha Glouberman's biography

At a glance

  • Communication and negotiation skills expert
  • Co-author of acclaimed New Yorker best nonfiction book
  • Creator of sold out Trampoline Hall lecture series
Misha Glouberman helps people talk to each other better. His work sits at the intersection of communication, negotiation, and participatory event design, offering practical tools for connection in both physical and virtual spaces. Glouberman holds a philosophy degree from Harvard and previously worked as a software developer, a combination that shapes his creative yet analytical approach. He co-authored The Chairs Are Where the People Go with Sheila Heti, named one of the best non-fiction books of the year by The New Yorker. The Harvard Business Review credited him with "reinventing the way stakeholders collaborate with decision-makers." Misha's facilitation work draws on years of running negotiations courses participants have called "life-changing" and hosting Trampoline Hall, a Toronto lecture series that has sold out every show since its inception and toured North America. His methods translate directly to the challenges of remote and hybrid work, where human connection requires more deliberate effort. The Globe and Mail described him as a mix of "Peter Mansbridge's smarts and Conan O'Brien's wit." Audiences leave Misha's sessions with concrete techniques for navigating high-stakes conversations, strategies for building genuine engagement in virtual settings, and a renewed understanding of communication as a learnable skill rather than an innate talent. Book Misha Glouberman to give your audience the tools to turn every conversation into a real collaboration.

Why we recommend booking Misha

Glouberman brings Harvard-trained rigour and two decades of facilitation practice to the mechanics of stakeholder alignment and remote collaboration. His negotiation frameworks have been recognised by HBR for changing how decision-makers engage across silos, and his methods translate complex communication theory into immediately applicable technique. Particularly valuable for teams navigating hybrid dynamics or high-stakes internal conversations where clarity and buy-in matter.
