People say working with me is interesting, varied and fun.
They like the fact that, in my previous career, I’ve done many of the things they are facing.
They appreciate my outsider’s perspective and my professional approach.
But, at the end of the day, it’s the results that count.
Here are some of the people I have been able to help:
CFO IT consultancy, Dortmund
“It is clear that Mike has a business background. This really helps to go deeper into the topics that are relevant for me (budgeting, financial reporting, acquisition negotiations, HR issues, alignment in the management team, strategy). Mike was professional, quality-conscious, down-to-earth and relaxed! I felt he understood my situation and that we were on the same level. He helped me feel more comfortable when presenting and more relaxed when speaking.”
CFO IT service provider, Cologne:
“I liked the coaching approach and appreciated the way Mike corrected me. The work on presentations was the most valuable – with Mike I had both a presentation expert and a language specialist at the same time (two in one!). He helped me improve my self-confidence and remove some mental blocks. I felt confident enough to lead a high-stakes negotiation process in English, securing an important deal for my company.”
CEO property company, Hamburg:
“Mike has a clear vision of working with someone in my position. He gave me a new perspective on communicating in English, something I had not heard before. I learned not to focus on small things that don’t matter. This really helped in negotiation situations.”
Head of controlling and supply chain, Minden:
“Working with Mike sometimes felt like therapy. We were able to identify the real issue, namely my mindset, and work on that to improve my confidence. The variety of topics we covered was great and I got new ideas I could use at work.”
CFO IT company, Cologne
“I really enjoy the sessions and look forward to them. They help me see things in a different way. My confidence has improved and I now enjoy presenting in English. I am also able to handle Q & A sessions better.”
Head of sales, DACH, Cologne
“Mike really helped me to improve my budget presentation to the board of our parent company in France. We simplified the slides, worked on the pronunciation of difficult words, and improved my vocal quality. I felt much more confident when presenting which led to the board’s immediate approval of the budget.”
