Some of the comments about Mike’s Leadership Instruction
I applaud you for putting this program together. I really expected it to be like any other boring Masonic program. I, to my surprise, was pleased with the time that I had spent.
This is something I should have done years ago!
A Great Day – Look Forward to More!
It was a very good presentation, I wish we would have had more time.
This was an absolutely superb & enlightening course. This course is the “light” we crave as Masons.
This course will encourage me to continue to dig deeper for more light in Masonry. Thank you.

A Final Word from Mike

My 44 years as a member of the Masonic Fraternity have been a rewarding experience. I have had the tremendous opportunity to learn and apply personal development & leadership principles in my own life and teach them to others.
When I combined them with the lessons of Masonry, I discovered a process that I truly believe “takes good men & makes them better.”
I want to help you do that for yourself.
Your investment will make you a better man, a better Mason, and it will benefit your life, your family, your lodge, and your community.
