_“Mike Aoki is a terrific keynote speaker! I first met Mike when he was the outstanding guest speaker at the Canadian Institute of Management's AGM in 2005. Since then, I've also heard him speak at prestigious speaking series such as Toronto Talks and the ICSA 2007 AGM to rave reviews.

Mike's passion clearly shows in his presentations, which are informative, well organized, entertaining, energetic, and positively delivered. I organize meetings for various associations, and would comfortably put Mike at the top of the list for Speakers. I highly recommend Mr. Mike Aoki!”
