"Mike Forde was an excellent selection as a keynote speaker. His ability to educate an audience on the many facets of true management, whether it be of people, brands or products was a huge success with my audience of b to b companies and their marketing agencies. His presentation was a fresh approach for how to make sound, fact-based business decisions…while at the same time leveraging his life experience in the world of sports management. His appearance was fresh, insightful and educational. He was approachable, his presentation was well thought out and he was easy to work with prior to the event. He was even engaged with the audience well past the time he was scheduled to be on-site. I would definitely recommend him to any event producer."
Hanley Wood

I loved the mind grenade concept, and loved the to-do's associated with each of them." Catherine Vissiere, Senior Marketing Manager of Microsoft
