I loved the half-day workshop on [Storytelling and Corporate Innovation], and am spreading the word. I think you are doing the next important thing in corporate culture. I would love to attend anything that you are teaching.

THIRSTY-FISH managed to suss out the right-brain creativity in a group full of left-brain science-types. In so doing, we were able to articulate a clear story for our organization without the baggage of industry jargon and technical data. Thirsty-Fish galvanized and inspired the staff of DC Greenworks to reach a whole new level of clarity, advocacy and productivity.

THIRSTY-FISH’s workshops were splendid! You could see the paradigm shift in the room and there was a measurable behavioral change among the participants. You also impressed attendees from the federal government. You added a lot to the conference and you made us look great! The 10th Anniversary Linking Leaders book is outstanding. Our funder loves the book. In summary, you rock.

What a wonderful session! You are one of those on a great path to Mastery…Your presence, persistence, passion and questioning all supported us in really taking a “hard look” at who we are…great team-building and company-building value.

Working with THIRSTY-FISH is like opening a door to a new room. You know you have never been there before, but the chairs are so comfortable. Michael doesn’t hide behind a lot of slick language. I understand everything he says, even when it is something I have never considered before. I think this is why I never feel vulnerable even when discussing the deepest concerns of my business and reaching my goals. I would recommend THIRSTY-FISH to anyone who is ready to move to the next level and is serious about it.
– Madelyn Blair, Co-Director, Center for Narrative Studies

You captured the participants’ imagination both by your style and content. Since marketing techniques are basically like speaking another language…your encouragement to expand our thinking was very important.

The benefits we have received from working with THIRSTY-FISH shine brightly — not simply the tangible work product results but more importantly, the intangible vision they have brought. Their creativity and enthusiasm continue to be a catalyst for our team and has stimulated our drive and excitement for the future.

Michael proved to be an excellent facilitator…You made marketing fun and easy to understand to a room full of nonprofit community leaders. You clearly know your subject and how to craft a meaningful learning experience

When Michael helped me brainstorm the word “neotango” two years ago, I had no idea it would become an international phenomenon. Neotango Productions, organizes Argentine tango classes, workshops, social events, and performances.  I did an exhaustive internet search for the word ‘neotango’ and turned up nothing, so I published an article defining the term, and posted a list of songs on my website…The spirit of tango for the younger generation quickly became encapsulated in the word neotango, and took on a life of its own! Today an internet search turns up thousands of entries including neotango parties, neotango festivals, and even neotango shoes.  I thank Michael for showing me the power of my own personal story.
