Our expectations were fully realized, so we are pleased to recommend Michał to be a talented and trustworthy speaker

Michał’s presentation was very inspiring and met with great interest
Michał’s presentation was a great inspiration for further work on strategy. On the one hand, it made it possible to organize some theoretical concepts, on the other hand, it unleashed the creativity and enthusiasm of the meeting's participants, and some phrases, such as "firefighting strategy", entered the company's jargon and are still used today.
Lidia Świderska
HR Director, L’Oréal
With vast experience and a keen business sense, Michał can identify and solve tactical problems that may block the achievement of strategic goals
His commitment and personalized approach to our original event themed around "The Queen's Gambit" was a masterstroke. Michał not only perfectly tailored his presentation to meet the participants' expectations but also, with his openness, sense of humor, and professionalism, ensured our collaboration was a shared success.

Michał the number of questions and people participating in the problem-solving and simul activities are the best evidence that we didn't have enough time 😎

For me, it was incredibly inspiring to connect chess strategies with business and life.

And the most interesting question was about foul play at chess tournaments. I was surprised to discover that there are so many cases.

Thank you for being with us 👍
