Official Feedback from In-Person & Virtual Events
Michael came to speak to founders of our scale programme at PwC. As soon as he entered the room he brought warmth and energy which set the tone for an engaging and powerful leadership session. Everyone was very impressed with his insight! Their feedback included: "Excellent engaging presentation, Right on point, very interesting." "Perhaps most burning issues to many founders, very helpful", "Excellent - loved the energy, delivery and materials." - Sarah, Programme Lead, PwC
Michael took a loose brief, covering lots of different topics of interest and wrapped it all up into a 75 minute session covering leadership, productivity hacks, resilience and more, which resonated incredibly well with my team. We often have speaker sessions at Salesforce and Michael's was the highest rated of the year so far! - Ciarae, Director, Salesforce
Michael gave a keynote speech during an Uber regional leadership team event. He was talking to a group of high performers that started to feel the weight of too many stressful days, nights in the office, and constant uncertainty. He gave a number of personal stories, often spiced up with humour when touching each topic. Michael managed, only within one hour, to relax, energize and pump up the team to go head on into new challenges. Davor, General Manager, Uber
Michael's approach is very simple, yet deep and it goes to the essence of the issue. He encouraged me to be my true self, bring out what was already inside me, and got me to take immediate action. He has a gift for finding a simple way to make people break their patterns and face their fears. - Margita, CEO, Linguistified
Wow - what a talk Michael! Not only did your expertise in the subject shine through, but your own experience brought the subject to life. I will certainly be looking out for another time to hear you speak. I wanted to especially thank you for the lightbulb moment you gave me about procrastination. In just 15 minutes, you uncovered something that has been holding me back for years! Extraordinary. - Kate, Founder & Director, Motivational Leadership
Last week, Michael delivered his latest speech based on his new book "Leading in the Next Normal" and the feedback from the members of our 20 year old business club was glowing. Paraphrasing many comments - Michael's easy relaxed way of delivering an interactive session was a winner, allowing members to question, challenge and discuss his ideas so they could take away plans for immediate implementation in our new ways of working. I would not hesitate to highly recommend and endorse both Michael and his book, if you are considering booking him for your business. He knows his stuff. - Mike, The Profit Man
