This was my third presentation by Mike and they keep getting better! I think it’s a testament to Mike that my IT professionals want him back for another review! They want to show him what they’ve accomplished and find out new best practices in IT.
Mike is knowledgeable, easy to understand, and his advice is directly applicable. The action steps he offered during his presentation were not only practical, but easy to implement. As a speaker, he is empathic without being overbearing. It was a pleasure listening to Mike speak.
I liked the fact that during his program Mike communicated his points on a layman’s level, and didn’t lose his audience with a bunch of technical terms. It was a good presentation, and I really liked his check list approach to fixing problems.
Mike is extremely knowledgeable on many security-related topics, which makes his speaking engagements informative and enjoyable. Just hearing his program really increased my own awareness of what’s going on today in our industry.
I think Mike offers a great seminar, considering that this can seem a pretty dry topic for non-tech people. I think the most relevant part for me was learning to ask the right questions, and how to get critical IT info without going internal. Although Mike offered a lot of information to absorb, he made it accessible and easily to digest. Now I understand the importance of having a real IT strategy.
Attending Mike’s presentation greatly increased my awareness of the security situation in my business. Even non-IT types can understand Mike’s message, and after attending the seminar, I feel I can at last have an educated conversation with my IT guy. The ‘check list’ portion of the program was very good—I’m already using it!
Some professional speakers can seem cold or aloof, but I was delighted to find Mike approachable, interesting, and easy to listen to. I found his information to be on the money and truly viable. After hearing Mike speak and benefiting from his insight, I know what I need to do (starting with an audit of our IT professionals soon!).
