Workshop Testimonials

  • Michael is a brilliant facilitator. I was thoroughly engaged all day and I learnt so much.

  • A great workshop. Lots of practical application and practice, lots of useful tips, useful to see other people practicing and learning this. The trainer was great, very knowledgable, engaging and giving constructive feedback.

  • Michael was great. Really good at what he does. He should be proud of his accomplishments.

  • Michael was really excellent, great presenter, great content and really applicable.

  • The workshop was really relevant and useful! The best L&D I have attended at the RC. Thanks!

  • The course was immensely practical and useful. Practical sessions throughout the day meant that you were practicing the content as you were learning it. Helpful tips and tricks and really practical advice.

  • The course and workshop leader were great. I now have the tools to help me overcome fear when making presentations. Michael would have to be one of the best workshop leader I've experienced in 30 years of attending courses.

  • The lessons you taught us were invaluable and I have since been using the message structure in almost every message I have delivered to the team and clients. DBAE has saved me a few times and I've been very aware of my body language, arm and leg movements and eye contact when communicating with others.

  • Michael Kelly is one of the highest calibre trainers in the leadership and communications space I have worked with my 16 year communications career. He has an engaging, authentic & intellectual style whose scenario-based training is relevant and applicable to every facet of life. His principles of developing a clear and strong leadership identity were communicated and taught with simplicity, ease and impact from his real-world experience. I would recommend him highly to both companies and individuals.

  • The course was definitely worth the trip down from QLD to attend. I have been to many PD's but Michael Kelly was the most engaging tutor and we learnt so much. I am also very impressed as Michael's style is so unique and he was able to engage the class in such a way that we all interacted and spoke to each other. Michael ensured that the class were all introduced and we enjoyed a beautiful lunch together were we mingled freely with each other. Well done Michael!!
