Michael has been around in my professional environment for many years and I had only ever heard good things about him. This year, as part of my new position, I finally had the opportunity to experience him myself as a trainer in workshops and as a “Personal Coach” in designing my own workshops, and I can only say that everything I heard was true! His way of approaching things interactively, actively involving every participant, devoting himself enthusiastically to every question and always being on hand with advice and support are qualities that make every collaboration a real pleasure.
