“Mike’s presentation was tailored to address the needs of ALL staff members – support, certified, and administrator. His presentation was, at times, humorous, thought provoking, and touching.  It was the perfect blend to keep the audience focused upon the very serious matters of school safety, bullying, and the role of school personnel in providing a safe environment for everyone.  He mingled with staff members before his presentation.  We purchased a copy of his book (Weakfish) and he did not eat lunch so that he could autograph staff copies of his book.  Mike and his message were very well received by our staff. He’s a very dynamic speaker that relates well to everyone in the audience.”

“Michael Dorn presented at the Crisis Prevention Institute’s (CPI) International Instructors Conference as a keynote speaker. Michael was extremely attentive to our needs and the issues our conference attendees were facing. His keynote presentation was extremely powerful. Mike has a wonderful presentation style and held the audience attention every moment of his presentation. Mike’s sessions on school safety received very high ratings from participants. He was well prepared and organized.  We have invited Michael to return for other presentations which were just as well received.  If it is important to your organization to have a presenter who is interested in what you do and customizes a presentation for your audience, Michael Dorn would be an excellent choice.”
