The conversation changes when you do.

After more than 30 years observing people and the way they interact, Michael has noticed a recurring pattern. We assume. We react. We jump ahead. And often, we don’t even realise we’re doing it.


Key takeaways:



Before You Speak is a keynote about people and the dynamics that shape our everyday interactions. Drawing on stories from business, sales and life, Michael explores why some conversations build connection and trust while others create friction.

 

 Ideal for audiences that:

• Navigate important conversations every day.
• Lead, influence or work closely with people.
• Are ready to see familiar situations differently.
