Cryss Mennaceur, HR Manager | Young Minds
I have employed Mike both as a speaker and a trainer on a number of occassions since 2001. No matter what demands I place on him he has always delivered par excellence. He has that rare ability to be able to put across complex concepts in a way that is accessible and engages staff at all levels. Always personable, never ruffled - it is a very great pleasure to recommend Mike.
