PGCE, Career Development Professional

Michael has a clear idea of how to assist people with life issues and in business, he knows himself, and so is intuitive enough to see paths that can create opportunities that may help others. I have always found him to be honest and able to express his view points succinctly and directly – irrespective of whether they are in line with the those of the individual or group or not – and these attributes are ideal for his role in coaching people and guiding them in their own personal circumstances. A strong belief system makes Michael ethically sensitive and aware, and his approach is constructed on this sound moral foundation. I could not recommend Michael more strongly to anyone who has not yet had the pleasure of really getting to know him.

Michael possesses 3 important traits in a trainer: clarity, communication and charisma. He has the ability to communicate knowledge to an audience effectively. Michael’s method of delivery is engaging and refreshing due to his charismatic personality. Discussions never fail to be simple and easy to comprehend. His language is always stimulating yet prosaic with no element of ambiguity. Students, customers as well as colleagues often enjoyed conversing in his company. I would highly recommend anyone to Michael’s services.
