If he had started with a way to capture attention, rather than distraction with visual aids, I believe his speech would not only have started out stronger, but it would have maintained that strength constantly throughout his speech. He passed on a lot of valuable information that my managers and I will keep for the future and apply daily, but he could have improved in some areas. It would have been nice to see him walk back and forth, even briefly, to break up the long period of standing, rather than sitting or leaning on the stage. This would have helped to further solidify the feeling that he was relaxed when speaking and might have sounded more professional. He was however very knowledgeable on his topic and I could tell that he truly cares about the company and based on the time and energy spent making a presentation he helped make his employees more successful. Overall Mike was confident, passionate and gave a great presentation, which with some small improvements could have made his speech good
