I am on a mission to use my 28 years of experience as an actor, educator, communication strategist, leader, and entrepreneur to help people be more clear, engaging, and effective in their work. That's why I started The Comvia Group — to formalize a leadership communication practice where I could do just that alongside other friends and colleagues who have.

• The last 20 years of my work life have been focused on serving the life sciences industry. I've helped leaders from early stage biotechs all the way to the largest pharmaceutical companies communicate their best when.
• Preparing for and Delivering at High Stakes Meetings. We coach clients to create and deliver winning pitches, successful regulatory interactions, engaging internal meetings, and more.
• Leadership Development. We teach and coach life sciences leaders on the soft skills they need to inspire high performing teams.
• Speaking, Presenting, & Storytelling. The data doesn't speak for itself. We help leaders turn complex concepts and data into clear, compelling stories.
• Workplace Relationships. Our team effectiveness programs deepen interpersonal relationships and help biotech teams reach their highest potential and be at their collaborative best.
• Career Journey & Transition Coaching. We've developed proven programs that help biotech and life sciences leaders excel at work, or transition to new chapters of their careers.

Michael Piperno Coaching is something that just "happened." You see, people in my network who either wanted to be better communicators or public speakers, and people who also wanted to make a career change or transition, were approaching me to help.So, the entrepreneur in me thought, "Hmmm. Maybe there is something here. Let's explore."This was the seed.

Back in the classroom — well, this time virtually. Had a great time creating and teaching a completely remote course in Digital Marketing.

The entrepreneur in me had been simmering for a few years and I wanted to see if I had what it took to start and run a business. I was in my early 30s and felt I knew enough about the agency world to start a firm. So I took the leap, and Imbue Creative was born.For 15 years under my leadership, Imbue helped clients’ brands build stronger connections with.

One winter day I was at a birthday party where I met another wonderful teacher and coach. This one gave me the opportunity to make the move from financial services sales and marketing to healthcare communications. Healthcare agency work was fun and fast-paced. I worked alongside highly educated medical professionals, brilliant scientists, meeting planners.

Marketing communications guy by day, adjunct professor by night. It was so much fun to teach the next generation of business professionals about visual communication and public speaking. But the 90 minute commute each way after working a full day at the office — now that was a killer!

At Penn Mutual, I developed strategy for, and managed the creative development (copy and design) of, all broker/dealer marketing material. I also planned and implemented roll-out communications for field offices.It was in this position that another career-defining moment happened.

When I left teaching, I got a job in financial services marketing. I was totally unqualified. The woman who hired me took a chance. I remember in my interview she said, “you’ve got a lot of the skills I need for this position, but you don’t have the right experience. But that’s okay, I can teach that.” She was right, and she taught me a lot. She literally.

I started my career teaching public speaking and theatre arts classes to high school students. As a trained actor and director, I’ve always loved how powerful good performances are, whether in business or in entertainment. Teaching was a great way for me to share this passion with others. I also delighted in helping young people overcome their fears and.
