MICHAEL McKINLEY
TESTIMONIALS
“Over the years Mike McKinley has made me look like a hero on more than one occasion. The DaimlerChrysler Financial Services meetings where Mike has been the ‘keynote’ speaker have been rated the highest by our attendees. Proof of how good he is- I have had Mike speak on at least 5 occasions and can’t wait to book him again.”

“I have been responsible for hundreds of meetings, conferences, seminars and conventions over the past 20 years and have likely hired more than a hundred speakers. Michael McKinley always delivers more than what I expect. I believe it’s obvious that I would highly recommend Mike for any critical role in your convention or meeting, be it master of ceremonies, opening speaker, keynote speaker, or closing session presenter. He has a unique blend of competence, humor, platform skills, flexibility, substance, and sincerity.”

“Your program was both engaging and entertaining. We also really appreciate the time that you took prior to the event to learn about Krump Construction, our history, and our goals for the future. Your ability to weave in pertinent elments about who we are made your presentation even more ‘personal’ and relevant. But, what was the most impressive was your ability to tailor our program to such a diverse employee population. The audience at our staff meeting was comprised of everyone from Field Personnel and Construction Services Assistants to Project Engineers and Corporate Executives. You managed to create a program that was relatable to all levels of personnel. That is commendable. We arrived as individuals representing different business units, and left united as ‘one’ group of fellow employees.”

“We handed out a satisfaction survey at the close of the conference and you were listed as a highlight of the conference on many of the surveys. We liked your combination of bits of wisdom, common sense, personal anecdotes, and the best of all, HUMOR. You had us rolling in the aisles! I liked the way you set up the chairs in a different pattern and waited to see the reactions of the audience. Everyone enjoyed the kazoo exercise and the message of teamwork and direction.”

Mike had done his homework and was able and willing to chat with the attendees prior to and following his presentation.”
