"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."

Through Mike’s use of strategic planning and reporting initiatives, they have made our team more accountable for their activities and has significantly increased their productivity. As a direct result, we have experienced a noticeable increase in sales performance. Mike has been a real asset to our company. They show excellent leadership skills and are a remarkable motivator. They have a knack for conducting effective workshop seminars by incorporating personal experiences and encouraging involvement.

“I just wanted to personally convey, on behalf of Suncor, how pleased we were with the "triple crown" speaking engagement you did for us. All the individuals who heard you speak found your presentations to be both engaging and relevant.  In fact, your talks have created such a "buzz" around the company that individuals who didn't get a chance to hear you speak have been emailing me and asking if I can provide them with your presentation or speaking notes.  Is there anything I can provide to these individuals?  I would appreciate any assistance you can provide in this regard. Through my participation in the Oil Sands' 3 day Journey to Zero Future State Visioning workshop that straddled our President's Awards, I know that your messages hit a mark with the workshop participants.  On Tuesday and Wednesday following your Monday night address, many of the participants incorporated your messages (courageous self leadership was a favorite) when they reported back to the plenary session on the work of their respective breakout teams.”  Suncor Calgary

"The best speaker we've ever had!" That was the comment I heard repeatedly after Mike Staver spoke at our Leadership Development Institute (LDI). Mike was humorous, engaging, and more importantly, inspiring. His message on courageous leadership has sparked hallway discussions, creative ideas, and new interest in attending the LDIs. That's quite an accomplishment, given that the audience consisted of seasoned, senior leaders who can be tough to impress. "Awesome presentation! Thank you for investing in Mike for us!" Their words, not mine - recognizing and appreciating the value Mike brought to us, and recognizing our investment in our employees. I couldn't have envisioned a better response. Thanks to Mike and his team, my team looked great!"
