Testimonials

In 20 minutes, Mike laid out a roadmap for creating a unique experience for my talent discovery and activation process. He asked probing questions that made me think deeper about why I do what I do, and then shaped the story into something more meaningful than what I've been sharing thus far. I left our meeting with an action plan that I never thought about, and a deeper appreciation of my message.

Kene Illoenyosi, CEO Neat Works

Mike is a great speaker and presenter on Marketing and Branding. He is one of the best in the business. You cannot go wrong in using Mike. I promote him with great confidence.

Pat Haly, President of national Personnel Services ExecuNet

My responsibility is to feature speakers who engage us, make us think and offer best practices so our members feel like the meeting was a good investment of their time. Mike Wittenstein does that. His laid back style makes him easy to listen to and interact with. Mike took the time to get to know us and shared how to differentiate ourselves through customer experience. His presentation is a prime example of a good customer experience.
