Heard Michael speak at the ASSE conference in Seattle yesterday; by far one of the best speakers I've heard in many years. Energetic, funny, smart and a great message about why safety programs have their feet firmly planted in a cement bucket. In short, he makes sense. He also had the audience eating out of his hand in minutes. Worth every penny of his fee. Michael’s presentations have had a large impact on our company. His effective use of humor and ability to connect with all levels of an organization have been instrumental in promoting positive changes in the work environment. His entertaining style made participants think they were at a comedy club, but with one important difference; they were learning while they were laughing! Even a year later, people still speak of the concepts and examples from his presentations. I’ve attended probably thirty or forty industry conferences in my time as a journalist and I can say with certainty that you are by far the most dynamic speaker I’ve heard at any conference! Michael puts the “WOW” into your event. Michael’s energy, humor and ability to generate audience participation will get and keep everyone’s attention. People still talk about Michael’s presentations weeks later and are requesting that he return for more!
