”My personal experience when working with Mike Pinder has been positive and inspiring. Mike keeps the us very well on track what is going to happen and what needs to be done. He also challenges the customer & participants to think outside of the box, which is not easy. As a person he has a good (British) sense of humor and has a great natural stage presence, even for bigger audiences. I have enjoyed working with Mike and can recommend his expertise and way of working to any other colleague or stakeholder in my network.
