"The energy was fantastic, and the supporting materials great so that all is not forgotten once the conference finished! Your presentation provided attendees with relevant and useful information, and practical ways to manage the pressures experienced in the workplace and at home. I look forward to working with you in the future."

"Michael presented at the end of our two day conference, at a time when energy levels are quite low.  Michael was incredibly engaging, the energy and enthusiasm from the participants was palpable.  His common sense approach resonated with the team, reminding them to get back to basics and giving them simple but effective tools to take into the field"

"We usually only have speakers from within the real estate industry speak at our events, however the choice to bring in Michael Licenblat, an external speaker, has proven to be an excellent choice.  Michael quickly engaged our group and showed that he understood our industry.  Michael's resilience presentation was both entertaining and hands on, giving our property management teams some practical communication tips, and self management tools, that will add great value to their relationships with their clients.  I look forward to working with Michael again."
Nick Dowling,
CEO, The Jellis Craig Group

“As a result of the Michael's Training we have identified and acknowledged that increasing the weekly activities in particular, property inspections and open houses, we have created an increase in our sales activity and subsequently higher commissions.  This has been very evident with our lower income producers who we have worked extensively with the Matrix training model and it has been successful.”
