“Michael delivered an outstanding, very practical and absolutely engaging session to my group of twelve chief executives. This session achieved one of the highest overall scores that I’ve ever seen from this group. The people who gained the most were those least looking forward to a challenging session. They all performed live in front of camera: Michael’s robust and fast-paced style encouraged them to stretch themselves with great benefits for their technique, self-esteem and confidence. It was a truly valuable day for all of us.” Chairman, Academy for Chief Executives, Group 5
