Michel's presentations could be described as the perfect combination of engaging, entertaining and educational. He commands control of a room, mixing bits of humor with thought provoking video clips while encouraging his audience to think deeply about the skills that they can offer to the world, both on a personal and professional level.

We invited Michel to our Conference in part to help change the conversation with our Business Partners – he delivered. He was engaging, inspiring and thought-provoking. Most of all, Michel’s “Essential Message” drove home the importance of leveraging differentiation in a competitive world.

Michel, what really stood out for us compared to other speakers we have worked with is that you were easy to work with and, in doing the interviews leading up to the event, you really went above and beyond the actual speaking engagement.

LeanWerks recently completed a week-long deep dive on our essential qualities, cultural foundation, and competitive positioning facilitated by Michel Neray. It was the best work on this front that I have experienced – at this company and at any other company I have been in. More than an exercise in branding and positioning, I now see how powerful the Essential Message concept is for our people and how it impacts on our culture – that was unexpected.
Reid Leland, Owner/PresidentLeanWerks
Purposeful Storytelling proved to be a great keynote topic. The ability to present our results, the pertinent details, while keeping on point, and delivering the true message is critical and Michel provided many approaches that can be adopted, and help in the successful communications. The keynote was well worth it. Thank you Michel!

A true professional in every sense of the word! Michel provided exactly what we were looking for - a great presentation, a satisfied audience and most importantly a real value for his services. He comes prepared, is easy to work with and really wants his client and their audience to get the most out of his presentations.

Michel's presentation was true magic. He was able to craft a message for the audience that combined his expertise with their immediate needs. His delivery was exemplary. By combining humor, examples, and an informal but focused presentation, he demonstrated his command of storytelling principles and gave the audience immediate useful take-a-ways. True learning took place - Michel left the audience left feeling excited and motivated.
Michel Neray's 'Purposeful Storytelling' training has not only helped internal staff be more effective in their respective roles, it helped us access new sources of revenue. In addition, our front line staff reported they were more effective in the field. We would definitely hire Michel again, and in fact, we did!
