What people are saying
“If you are lost in the labyrinth of Dragon code while trying to reach a certain productivity goal, or you simply seek general education on the subject, you will find no better guide than Michael (who in fact wrote an outstanding book on the topic!). And he is a patient and excellent explainer so he will not only give solution but also explain the path. Wander lost in the dark jungle no more. Help is near at hand. ”
Devon Hinton, M.D., Ph.D - Harvard University
“Michael was an excellent trainer. The training was relaxed and engaging, clear and comprehensive. I have ME/CFS, which affects me in many ways including physical and cognitive impairment. At the start of the training, I had no experience of Dragon or MindView. Michael quickly showed me how these tools can assist me when my symptoms worsen, but also how they can help when I am feeling relatively well. Michael also adapted the training to how I was each session as my symptoms can vary significantly from day to day.”
Andrew Hartley - Royal College of Surgeons
“Michael was great at engaging with me and listening, citing possible examples and identified approaches while staying attentive to my day to day needs and my current problem tasks. This course taught me how to carry out some of my daily activities with a fantastic and time saving approach. These solutions both identified current tasks that I implemented in the training sessions and highlighted future short cuts i.e. hotkeys options that will resolve both the time currently taken and the amount of pain that I currently experience performing these tasks will reduce.”
J Cook - NHS
“Michael was insightful, knowledgeable, friendly and a pleasure to work with. He made learning a new skill enjoyable and fun. I am grateful for the level of detail we went into to make the software work for me in the best way it could and for his clear kind of approach. He is a fantastic educator and trainer. The skills I have learnt are life changing and have already had a huge impact on my productivity at work. ”
Jem F - Business Disability Forum
“Michael is a very likable friendly humorous individual. I cannot recommend his training enough. I was very nervous about the training, but very quickly he put me at ease. Due to being neuro diverse I struggle to pick things up very quickly ,but Michael had a lot of patience and even when we had to go over and over parts of the program I couldn't comprehend, he would just find a different way to teach me how to understand .He ensured that the goals I wanted to achieve were met and they were relevant to my work which was really important to me. Each session was informative and delivered with expertise . Michael made sure I did not leave without fulfilling what we planned for that session. I have come out of this a more confidence person ,and less anxious about my job I cannot thank him enough.”
