'Business Development For Busy People'

"Thank you so much for running the Service Excellence event. It was amazing to see over 110 people captivated by your workshop. The balance between participation and presentation was excellent and you delivered against your promise, by keeping such a diverse audience focused and interested throughout.

Our internal social network has been ignited with ideas and we will be spending the next few weeks ensuring we act upon the thoughts you provoked."

P. Caris, Eversheds

"Mike presented to a group of our fee earners to provide a brief insight into how business development could be made more effective by concentrating your contacts. His talk was well received by all the varying levels of experience and all attendees were able to gain some practical ideas to try and put into practice. Mike's talk was both well paced and entertaining."  
 
P Duff, Shoosmiths

"The content of the talk was most informative and put across in a no nonsense, no frills way which made it easier to comprehend. I intend to use Mike again."

C Owen, St Philips Chambers

"Mike is an engaging and inspirational speaker - he offers many lessons learned from his experience running a highly successful IT business and skillfully applies these to the evolving legal market place in a way we can understand and relate to."

 A. Whitehead, Martineau

"Mike attended our managers meeting recently as our guest speaker, he had a tough crowd of high performing managers in our business, but he presented us all with a very personal and interactive session which had provided our managers with food for thought on their worklife balance and personal goals. In a business that moves so fast it was a fantastic subject for our managers.

Mike has a very easy and captivating style which held all of our managers attention, not an easy feat let me tell you. The interactive session got them all thinking.

What is unique about Mike is that he has been there and done it, so when he stands in front of an audience he speaks from the heart with complete conviction in what he is saying.

I would highly recommend Mike for both training and as a guest speaker."

 P. Darnell, Pertemps

"I thoroughly enjoyed working with Mike at our recent partner conference. His approach to business development created a buzz amongst the partners and stimulated many ideas and thoughts as we applied these to our own organisation. We continue to drive forward with many of the ideas that were created as a result of Mike's facilitation. I look forward to working with Mike again in the future. "

M. Stevens, Cripps Harries Hall LLP

"The content of the presentation was certainly what our Partners and Managers needed to hear at this point in the economic cycle and we will certainly be reviewiing our existing work practices in the light of your approach."  

M. Ward, HBJ Gateley Wareing 

"Thank you so much for the presentation on social media, it went down well with the fee earners. It was really good to see the effect the presentation has had, it was empowering and made the whole process seem more accessible to fee earners who have never seen this as a way of marketing services. Three of the fee earners have now embarked on writing blogs, hopefully they will get the blogging bug and carry on. Some of the partners have now started enhancing their Linked in profiles and this too is encouraging to see."

F. Moffat, Timms Solicitors

"Your entertaining presentation skills matched with invaluable knowledge was a sure fire way to get everybody listening - especially those who were new to social media.

For us you made social media accessible and explained clearly to all about how it can make such a dramatic, positive impact on building and maintaining relationships with crucial contacts, by using websites like Linkedin effectively."

K. Shadbolt, Alsters Kelley LLP
