You have a lot of options when choosing the messaging and a speaker for your company meeting. There are real costs in bringing a team together (even on a Zoom learning session). And you likely have several core objectives you may wish to achieve during the event. Michael understands this and never takes your business for granted.

Each session is thoughtfully planned in collaboration with you and your team. The content is always tailored to your company and your audience. Michael believes in giving value - and ensures that participants receive practical insights and materials they can use immediately to improve their individual and collective performance.

Whether a Keynote Address or a Board Retreat, Michael aims is to deliver more than just an inspiring message - but a unique and memorable experience. Over the years, he has developed a real skill to tailor messages to each audience and leave a lasting impact.


Here’s How Michael Helps:

  • He Focuses on Your Primary Objective. Michael and his team will seek to understand the goal and intent of your event to ensure that he will be prepared to be a good fit for your company conference or event. A good outcome requires thoughtful planning on the purpose and objective.

  • He Seeks to Understand Your Audience. The age, experience and roles of the audience should deeply impact both the content and the delivery style. The better Michael understands and knows your audience, the more impactful the experience will be.

  • He Delivers. Michael takes this work very seriously. He takes the time to meet with participants, to engage with the company leadership, and to prepare and deliver both a memorable message and useful materials that help each member of the audience improve their individual performance.
