Robert Harris , President, RHR Resources Inc.
“Mike has coached me through several challenging situations. He has sat in the CEO chair himself, been very successful at it, and knows what questions to ask other CEOs. He provokes me in a creative, but practical way to find my own solutions. I recommend him unequivocally to fellow CEOs--whether you're new to the role or think you're already seasoned.”
Richard Willingham, President, Motum B2B
“Mike's insight fullness, provocative questions and input have proven invaluable. Over the past five years Mike has been my most trusted counsel for new ideas, strategies and tactics. At times he has pressed me to push the inside of the envelope, while at other times he has been the voice of reason to offset my enthusiastic optimism. We have shared ideas and insights as we independently pursued and expanded our own web based market strategies. This has been a great and profitable experience."
Bob Gilson , COO, Latitude
