Want proof?

Michael only accepts engagements where his preparation and passion makes a difference. The best way to determine if Michael is right for you is to pick up the phone and call or schedule an appointment with Michael using tungle (http://www.tungle.me/catalyst).

Some considerations for scheduling Michael for your event:

Michael is a paid professional speaker: in addition to seminars and consulting, Michael makes a living sharing ideas, observations and strategies to connect people to the consequences of their actions.

He invests significant time and effort into each engagement and is compensated according to the results he is capable of delivering. While Michael offers a limited number of pro bono engagements per year, there are no more spots available for 2011 or 2012.

As a top speaker on the human side of security, Michael is an investment in the outcome of each event. More than entertainment, Michael will get the audience where they need to be.

Travel costs are included: realizing people need to keep costs under control; we take the variable of travel out of the equation. We handle all travel arrangements as part of Michael’s fee.

If needed, Michael prepares handouts and other materials: Michael does not make his slides available. However, we believe in audience engagement, and Michael is happy to prepare and print (for a small additional fee) customized handouts for the audience. This ensures people are anchored, engaged and have a tool to guide their learning after the presentation.

Michael speaks with audiences of all sizes and levels: Michael has worked with intimate settings of executives, auditoriums of employees, gyms full of families and even live events simulcast to nearly a million people.

Before preparing for each engagement, Michael learns about the audience, the expected outcomes of the event and how to best guide the journey from where the audience is to where they need to be.
