Leadership Essentials Program (Virtual)

Learnt a lot from Michael and developed lot of insight and would recommend.

Great workshops that take you to a proper management level with great tools.

Michael is very engaging, relatable with funny real life stories to help make the learning click. Even though it was a virtual workshop it repot we was right there with us. I found the work alignment exercise VERY beneficial and interesting. Another goodie (which is very functional in a workplace or even on a personal front) is the Idrift model. I would highly recommend Michael! 5 stars all round!

Michael did an excellent job in adapting course content by actively reading the room and restructuring it to meet their training needs. He understood how to approach real life examples of challenging management situations and provide techniques to work them through with the team.

The workshops with Michael have been incredibly valuable for our team at Vivo. Even with our team spread across different locations, he kept us engaged and working together on new concepts that have already made a difference in our salons. I particularly appreciated the balance of discussion, learning, and practical application—it made the sessions both insightful and actionable.

I highly recommend Michael’s workshops for anyone looking to refine their leadership skills and elevate their team’s performance!

I enjoyed the ability to share experiences with people in different industries and work experience backgrounds. The ability for the trainer to draw on their experiences as both team member and leader made it easier to relate to the material.

Although there were a number of topics in the program, I couple of really interest topics I enjoyed included; how to have difficult conversations and prioritising the important tasks, not the urgent tasks.

I participated in the Developing Leaders program in 2024 along with several of my co-workers and participants outside my work organisation. The program was a great experience where we were able to discuss and apply leadership concepts which was further supplemented with leadership reading materials. Great program.

What stood out the most was his ability to connect with each individual on a personal level. He puts in 100% effort, encourages participation, and ensures everyone feels heard. His guidance helped me gain clarity, shift my perspective, and truly understand leadership in a new way. He doesn’t just teach leadership—he embodies it, setting a great example of what a true leader should be.

I had the privilege of taking a leadership course with Michael, and I can confidently say he is a true mentor. His approach to coaching is not only insightful but also incredibly engaging. He has a great sense of humour, which made learning enjoyable, and the way he led the team was exceptional.

“Michael was deeply invested from the start, ensuring everyone was engaged and involved; his great listening skills and sense of humour made the experience both enjoyable and enriching. He went through everything systematically, making each concept clear and facilitating open-ended discussions that encouraged us to answer and engage. I really enjoyed the group sessions, where we learned from diverse opinions and examples. It was eye-opening to see how one challenge can be difficult for one person but much easier for another, which helped us appreciate different perspectives. “

Michael is a great facilitator! He has a knack for explaining the concepts in a clear and concise manner. Really enjoyed his teaching style and the manner in which he handled different questions from the participants.

Great delivery of the program. Michael is easy to listen to and engaging. I liked the discussion elements to the program as it helped solidify the content. It was a great renewal of leadership ideals I already had and some new content or ways of seeing things. My reflection is that it has reminded me the kind of leader I want to be and given me skills and tools to do that well for a quality, engaged and happy team.

‘Michael recently delivered a Leadership Development Program for us and has done a super job. He is a passionate and knowledgeable coach who has the ability to apply solid leadership tools into practical every day scenarios.’

‘I recently participated in a series of leadership development workshops run by Michael. Michael was an engaging, personable facilitator and I walked away with some really valuable takeaways from the sessions.’

I have learnt so much, and have found the tools Michael provides me to implement it into my work is spot on. I can confidently say that I have grown significantly whilst working with Michael.
