“Michael has an awesome way of validating his attendees points and advice and making them feel they are contributing without correcting them. It makes all level of professionals (even beginners) feel important and valued. This might be a great way to end the session; by asking each person to give one professional tip or bit of advice they have learned in their careers, regardless of the years of service.”
Bill White, Sales – Lexus of Tacoma
