Testimonials

 “Mike has been a tremendous thought partner as our organization aims to tackle a major cultural transformation to positively impact the employee experience, including ways of working & work-life balance.  He helped us begin to tackle deeply rooted cultural challenges to not only spark the change, but help embed and sustain it through his expertise in leadership development, organizational and team effectiveness, and change management.  He has been invaluable, and I cannot recommend him enough. ”

 “Enhancing manager capabilities in an organization is definitely a competitive advantage to create innovative, productive and sustainable organizations.  Mike was able to recognize this opportunity and championed a new culture by revamping the manager curriculum, expanding leadership training, and also creating Manager Forums, where managers were able to learn from one another, share best practices among each other, and form a community with a single mission.  Where I benefited the most was the comraderies that were built during the manager forums, knowing you are not alone on a specific issue was very satisfying.”

 “ We reached out to Mike for optimizing our Leadership Team’s effectiveness and working together better.  He tailored a program where we found ourselves discussing our biggest issues openly and finding better ways to work as a team.  I am still amazed at what we accomplished as a team in just a couple of hours .”  

 “I have had the privilege of working with Mike on learning and development (L&D) initiatives.  Mike knows the L&D space like few I’ve worked with.  He comes with tremendous experience and brings a level of creativity to the projects we have worked on.  I love just having a conversation with him, as it sparks different ideas and innovations I hadn’t previously considered.  He knows what is important for learning design and delivery in both the face-to-face and virtual settings.  He has an expertise for training both leaders as well as individual contributors.  He has been invaluable for supporting my work in L&D and I would highly recommend him to any organization.”  

 “Mike has the ability to quickly turn leadership theory into learning moments by creating a sense of psychological safety in a group.  He skillfully facilitates conversations, allowing participants to learn from each other and also from examining their own experiences.  I love watching Mike facilitate sessions, because he’s so relaxed that he quickly puts everyone else at ease.  Leadership, particularly inclusive leadership, isn’t everyone’s comfort zone so creating the conditions for learning to happen is very important.  A true master facilitator!”  

"I have worked with Mike for over 10 years in his capacity as a global leadership development leader.  He brings a special combination of strong academic understanding in the areas of leadership development and talent management, with a true understanding of what leaders and the business needs to drive organizational success.  Mike is one of the most innovative instructional designers and facilitators I have worked with and he has brought this to how he develops leaders virtually in this current environment.  He is engaging and thoughtful to ensure each and every leader he works with achieves to their highest and best potential.  On top of all this, he is man of high integrity who genuinely cares about the people he works with."
