Mike knows from experience, that in asking those challenging and often uncomfortable questions, business leaders can really go deep inside to find new ideas and incentives for improving performance of their organisation. Mike, used his inspiring style of stories and personal experiences to show how personal change and change in organisations is really easy, what is surprising is the way in which many organisations fail to ask the right questions up front. 
Times are hard (as we are constantly being reminded by the media at the moment). We need to use all the resources we can get hold of to have a chance of moving forward. How about Creative Thinking – now that’s a big subject! And what can this possibly mean in the context of leadership? - new ideas and new opportunities. Learning to think creatively means that there is always a possibility open to us, by solving problems, exploring opportunities, making decisions, prioritising and designing a new way for something.

Speaking in support of the Collaboration in Enterprise Education, Mike invited the audience of Enterprise Champions from higher and further education across Wales to “Shift Their Thinking” with regard to entrepreneurship, developing resilience in adversity.
