A Personal Message from the Course Tutor, Mike

This course came about when a client booked me for a conference for senior managers in professional services firms.

These high-powered people attend a lot of meetings and need to make their contributions to those meetings count. This is, after all, were they give the advice they are paid for, or make the sales that bring in new work.

But this time, as well as preparing carefully for the conference, I decided to record the sound, and develop a unique set of visuals to illustrate the ideas in a way that simply isn't possible in the live environment.

So, I hope you will enjoy and benefit from this innovative course, that combines the spontaneity of a live seminar, with the careful preparation of an online course - and this is my 10th course for Udemy.
