"Michael's presentation is filled with emotion, challenge and humor. Michael's 'positive rebel' message inspires one to face challenges head on and to turn one's weakness into an asset. His message can be applied to all areas of business and personal life. I believe that anyone and everyone can benefit from Michael's story and his will to overcome."

Technical Support

• Michael is a very animated speaker and usually stands at the forefront of the stage facing the audience directly while pacing up and down the stage (no podium please).

• It is important for Michael to maintain eye contact with his audience. To facilitate this it is preferable that both the audience and Michael are appropriately lit and if possible no direct spotlight on his face.

• Michael requires a wireless headset microphone as he can not hold a regular microphone and moves his head too often for a lapel mic.

• No slides, power point presentations or other props are needed - Michael uses the power of his words alone.

• Any video photography must be approved by Michaels office in advance; please email judy

• A small bottle of still water (no ice) and a straw.
