Michael took a loose brief, covering lots of different topics of interest and wrapped it all up into a 75minute session covering leadership, productivity hacks, resilience and more, which resonated incredibly well with my team. We often have speaker sessions and Michael’s was the highest rated of the year so far!

Michael gave a keynote speech during a Uber regional leadership team event. He was talking to a group of high-performers that started to feel the weight of too many stressful days, nights in the office, and constant uncertainty while running flat out for months. During the talk, Michael focused on: – efficient work vs “work” – prioritization – controlling oneself – forging and giving a response versus an emotional reaction to a situation – living and acting with compassion. He gave a number of personal stories, often spiced up with humour when touching on each topic. That also allowed the audience to personally connect to each situation and remember them going forward. Michael managed, only within one hour, to relax, energize and pump up the team to go head on into new challenges.

Michael put together a comprehensive day for our YPO forum that allowed for deep and insightful conversations. His willingness to be vulnerable about important moments in his life set the tone for the day. We all left feeling much more connected and open to continuing the dialogues.

DIGIT events had the pleasure of inviting Michael to present to some of Scotland’s most influential IT & Digital Leaders in May 2017. Rather than waxing lyrical from an organisers point of view (I thought he was outstanding BTW) , here’s what the delegates thought.

“Really enjoyed R. Michael Anderson and what a great way to finish.”

“Would have loved to have had more time to cover Michael Andersons leadership presentations!”

“Excellent ideas on leadership, mesmerised!”

We’re looking forward to welcoming Michael back to Scotland and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his unique style and content to any event organiser.

Michael recently spoke at an event we produced for Scotland’s technology leaders. People found him to be an incredibly inspiring and motivational speaker, and we thought he shared some really constructive personal reflections and guidance around developing as a leader. We have had him involved before so had set the expectation benchmark pretty high, but he didn’t disappoint, and it was a pleasure to have him back.

I don’t usually take event speakers too seriously so I was really impressed when Michael had me hooked within the first 60 seconds. Actions speak louder than words so I’ll simply share that he helped me achieve a life goal of writing a book. This happened very quickly, after spending a few hours with Michael. 5 stars. I recommend.

I recently participated in Michael’s workshop with a group of entrepreneurs. Not only was he able to keep us engaged for two hours, but we left wanting more! In short, I walked away from the session renewed and wiser. Michael’s genuine desire to help, provided a safe environment in which to explore our self-limiting beliefs, patterns and comfort zones, going deep, to uncover the ‘gold’ that comes from reflection and awareness. His methodology walks you through a process that explores the greater potential within all of us. Great stuff! Cool guy!

Michael presented to my TECR277 (TEC / Vistage) Group during our Annual Retreat. The group agreed he’s one of the best Speakers we’ve had over many years. He has a natural and engaging presence and combines this with a compelling and well considered message.
