“I have conducted nearly 100 media training sessions with Michael Gips over the last nine years and he is truly a consummate professional. Harvard educated, Michael brings credibility and intellect to every training session. I trust him completely and my clients adore him. ”
“Michael brings an incredible array of skills to the table as a writer, editor, journalist, communications professional, manager...you name it. His easy understanding of complex subject matter makes him a formidable trainer and an accomplished and never-boring writer. I’ve never met someone he’s consulted for who hasn’t been utterly impressed with his abilities, intelligence, diligence, and overall nice-guy nature.”
