Testimonials (1)
  • Michael is an engaging, interactive, and captivating presenter. I invited him to speak with my Management Communication class at the University of Central Missouri about his leadership journey and the importance of developing a personal vision statement. Mike explained the difference between tactical and strategic leadership, and how he has developed as a leader overtime in different positions he has held with the Bureau of Prisons. I received incredibly positive feedback from my students, who found his talk inspiring and motivational, especially because they are getting ready to graduate and enter the job market. Mike has a way of bringing content to life by sharing stories that connect to the audience and prompt self-reflection; I hope to bring him back to my class in future semesters.
