Too many meetings, a chaotic schedule, misplaced files, etc. all seemed to be the norm and not the exception. But not anymore; Michael has created a systematic approach that is both authentic and adaptable. As a bonus, I was able to personally work with Michael as he taught me how to integrate his strategies into my workday. Through this process I have become a more efficient, reliable, and confident leader. Thank you Michael! -- Erik Bentzel, assistant superintendent, Conrad Weiser School District, Robesonia, PA
