I’m not a fan of How To books, but Michael’s book based on his personal experience brought me into the subject I’d been avoiding for so long.

The banking crisis ensured that money would grab most of the headlines around the world in recent times. People are, of course, affected by the actions or non-actions of politicians and regulators but also by poor decisions in the management of financial institutions. They are affected by job security, property values, investment returns, and business trends. Individuals may themselves make poor financial decisions. They may not control their own financial present and future.

Michael MacMahon’s “Back to the Black” is written by someone who has been there and got the T-shirt. His philosophy is not to look to blame but to emphasise the importance of taking charge. For those who want to learn how to manage their own budgets, or who are fearful they are not doing so, this is a must-read. Michael does not claim to have all the answers but he believes that most of the answers lie within our control.

Written from the author’s own bitter experience, ‘Back to the Black’ has a readability rarely seen in this genre. Although intended for those suffering financial crisis, it is written with a ‘glass half full’ attitude and is jam packed with such useful information and sound advice that I could recommend it to anyone.

I have had the pleasure of working with Michael on several projects now and each one has been a great success. Michael is exceptionally easy to work with thanks to prompt communication and quick turnaround times that always result in high quality voice tracks that sound good both technically and creatively. His voice has been a welcome addition to many of our projects and I know it would be the same for yours.

May I say a big thank you for your time this morning and an excellent presentation. It was most appreciated and added value for those who attended. The feedback I’ve had was more than positive.

Thank you and thanks to Nick Thomas for recommending you and bringing you along.

I remember very well … your presentation at the Wisehouse Opening Conference. It was very well prepared, planned to detail, holding in mind what the audience needed to hear … finally (it) was very well delivered right on time.

Jenny Layton, Devon

…an effervescent personality… sparkling and spontaneous wit…ability to ad-lib. Plus the ability to put people at their ease…to tailor his material to the audience. His natural optimism… bubbles over into speech. Always seems relaxed when speaking and that relaxes the audience…a most engaging personality, which many possess but few can project when they speak in public.

Erle Bryn, Norway

…so positive… attitude that shines through and inspires the audience. A great voice and lots of it… he doesn’t really need a PA system. He’s what I’d call verbally creative…loves interacting with an audience.

Tricia Murphy, North Somerset

Thank you once again for your meticulous preparation of your speech and for the professionalism with which it was delivered. … very pleased with the evening and have only heard words of praise from those who went … your contribution to the success of the event was immense.
