WHAT PEOPLE SAY

“A game changer for me.”

Rebecca Moraitis, BDM

“In all my years I have not met anyone so in tune with his subject matter. For Michael to intuitively know and convey what I was doing well and where I could do things better/differently is a unique skill. To say that I learned a lot would be an understatement. I genuinely took away new life skills and new understandings, something I didn't think I would do. I'm not someone who is easy impressed and I'm not someone who attends sessions like this normally. It was a very impressive session, one of a kind. Michael Croaker is genuinely the real deal.”

Nathan Fletcher, Digital Media Professional

“Michael’s Stand & Deliver Bootcamp had such a positive impact on my skills in speaking and presenting. His energy and generosity in sharing his knowledge is inspiring.”

Sarah H. Joyner, Early Childhood Development Specialist

“We facilitated courses where Michael would come to our academy and teach, in his special way, the students we have here learning at 888inc and Positive Impact Academy. I had the opportunity to listen to several of his classes and then witness the change in the students. It is a delight to see the light come on in some people.
Our students are all ages, from 14 to 80, and from very diverse backgrounds. When you teach in front of this crowd, you can't fake it and they are brutal if you don't know what you're doing. Michael has the unconscious ability to be sensitive and respectful to all cultures, gender types and ideas. He is a man of pure heart and great wisdom.
Michael has a very rare skill to mix experience, empathy, kindness, teaching and thoughtful considered content tailored for any willing audience. He has the ability to pivot during the class if a participant is not on message and he makes everyone feel that they matter.
We can recommend Michael as the ‘People Whisperer’. If you want excellence in communication then Michael is your man.”

Gary Hopes, Managing Director, Agency888

“Michael’s energy, wisdom, and generosity in sharing his craft for speaking and presenting is inspirational. In attending the STAND & DELIVER Bootcamp I walked away with my eyes open to possibilities, and with practical skills I was able to apply immediately. I also have a new found respect for the art, practice and journey to be informative and entertaining in any domain. Michael is a true gentleman, and incredibly supportive with so much experience and talent to share. Whether it’s for personal or professional development, get to one of his bootcamps today - chances are you’ll be inspired too.”

Melanie Marshall, Organisational Trust Strategist

“The Stand & Deliver Bootcamp exceeded our expectations!
We had a group of attendees, although eager to join in and improve their public speaking skills, who also brought with them plenty of nerves about what to expect. Michael was able to quickly put everyone’s minds at ease and make them feel safe to challenge themselves. Michael was dynamic and engaging and held the attention of the room, encouraging everyone throughout the session. There was never a dull moment! He was able to provide a personalised approach for each individual whilst still ensuring the group as a whole remained focused and engaged. I would highly recommend Michael and the Stand & Deliver Public Speaking Bootcamp!”

Melissa Summergreene, Media/Marketing Manager

“The coaching and feedback that I received was invaluable. I really feel as though we were given the tools to evaluate and strengthen our skillset, in a very personalised way. I feel more confident in being able to deliver communication to an audience, in a controlled and self-assured manner. I would highly recommend attending this bootcamp.”

Rebecca Dillon, Retail Manager

“Michael is a true professional. I’m so grateful for him imparting his practical tips to empower me and to help develop my public speaking strength. Collaborating over Zoom provided a safe and comfortable environment for me to step out of my comfort zone, have fun and connect to the content. As a coach, Michael was supportive, respectful and gave meaningful feedback. The bootcamp was thought provoking and I walked away with real tools to work with and a sense of genuine confidence.”

Samantha Norton, HR Professional

“Michael is a master at everything he does. His public speaking always grabs my heart and inspires me to action. An amazing coach!”

Shaun McKeogh ICAE, Trainer / Consultant

“Michael was amazing! I took my staff along to his bootcamp and we all learned a lot. His experience in this area is insane! He opened our eyes in many areas of communication. I would highly recommend his services.”

Daniel Watkins, GM, Gold Coast Wake Park

“I was lucky enough to attend one of Michael’s sessions and it was truly a fantastic experience. His tips and wisdom, along with his constructive feedback, was invaluable! If you are someone who is a little uncomfortable speaking in public and wants to improve on that, do yourself a favour and attend Michael’s bootcamp, you will not be disappointed!”

Stacey Milne, Events Specialist

“I'm so glad I attended this! The bootcamp gave me the knowledge and the skills to self critique. I am now conscious, when speaking in public, of all of the little tweaks I can make to better engage my audience. Michael also makes you feel comfortable as he gives you personalised feedback. He made the night surprisingly fun!”

Richelle Reading, Marine Specialist

“A great night with Michael and thoroughly recommend this bootcamp session. His inspirational stories from where he started, to where he is now, need to be heard to be believed.”

Kim Little, Small Business Owner

“I really enjoyed the session with Michael! I didn’t know what to expect, and was well and truly surprised at how he was able to put you out of your comfort zone, and yet still have you feel like you were in a safe environment, to explore the whole reason why you would be at one of these sessions. Although I still need practice, I am more aware of what I need to do to become a better speaker and with every attempt I can self reflect and improve! Thank you Michael.”

Fiona Swadling, Education Specialist

“Thank you for your expert tips on how to deliver a great speech Michael! I have delivered speeches and hosted shows before, however your help to fine tune my speech delivery and the intention of the speech was graciously received. With your many years of experience I greatly valued your opinion and advice. Your passion to help others in this field is empowering!”

Carol Robinson, Small Business Owner

“Michael Croaker is a genius! A highly skilled craftsman and expert in his field of Public Speaking. I cannot speak highly enough at what Michael was able to produce in an amazing space of time with the group.”
