Captain Abrashoff energized our organization in a new and powerful way. I walked away with plenty of inspiration and new ideas--and a handful of new leadership tools that can be applied immediately.

Thanks for hitting it out of the park for us today. Many Harshaw Trane Associates came up to me this afternoon telling me we couldn't have made a better choice for a speaker with message that was both timely and appropriate.

We have asked Mike Abrashoff to speak to our team twice now and he is in high demand for a third appearance. His message and coaching on leadership is perfect for every level of management ranging from the general managers of our stores to our CEO.

You were fantastic! Several employees told me how they were so touched by your comments that they cried. The way you treat your crew is what Impact is trying to emulate. I read your book years ago and it still Impacts me and the way I run Impact today.

I received excellent feedback from both the panel discussion and broadcast speech Your leadership style and personal values appear to be similar to what we are attempting to achieve and hence I am very interested in your leadership toolkit. Let me know the best way to learn more.

Your message to the team was spot on! I received a lot of feedback from the team and universally they felt your message helped them think about leadership differently and help put them even more firmly in the Ownership Mentality. I thought you nailed it and helped 1) land the message of Own It 2) help them focus on their Leadership and 3) Help them think about managing through change. I am so glad that you were our speaker and I think it helped us at this critical point in time.

It was perfect! Mike received a standing ovation at the conclusion and several of our leaders told me afterwards that they were going to pick up his book. Messages were totally on point with our conference. We LOVED it!

We have never had such positive feedback so you very much exceeded our expectations. You were quoted numerous times throughout the remainder of the conference which says people took your message to heart and will put it to work in their everyday jobs - exactly what we aimed for!

Director of Staffing - Denbury Resources

You did an exceptional job of connecting with the audience and reinforcing that leadership in safety matters, and is in fact the very cornerstone of our future success in safety and in general at BNSF. Everyone I talked to agreed that the key note you delivered, was the highlight of the day and had a tremendous impact on them.

I didn't get a chance to say goodbye after your presentation to our franchisee group. You did a terrific job - we heard nothing but rave reviews on your stories, your leadership ideas, your style, the lack of PowerPoint slides, etc. Well done!

The entire time Abrashoff spoke he had command of the entire room. Not a single set of eyes was anywhere but on him.
