Are you looking to motivate people?

Michael can help.

The same skills that make Michael a successful witness, make him a good motivator. Motivation, like witness testimony, is about persuasion. It is about telling a story, anticipating problems, and changing the way people think. Michael’s award winning presentations, even on the driest of subjects, are well laced with humor, and examples, making them informative, insightful, and entertaining. Michael will hold your audiences attention, change their perspective, and leave them feeling they can make changes in their world. And equally importantly, leaving them feeling that they want to.

Are you looking to learn new ways to solve problems?

Michael can help.

Some people try to think outside the box. Some people try to think inside the box. Either way, their approach is defined by the box. But, there is another way. Michael’s solution to economic technical analysis, the same one he uses on the stand and in negotiations and management decisions, is based on a technique he developed called “Free Range Thinking.” It is a systematic way of thinking creatively, using different perspectives and starting points, the clever use of analogies and a certain amount of free association.

Do you simply need an entertaining or informative speaker?

Michael can help.

Michael has a wide variety of speeches, from energy to also technology, from modern society to medieval history, not to mention problem solving, public speaking techniques, theology, and many more subjects. His speeches are warm, thought provoking, sensitive, and inspirational.
