Mike’s early work was captured in the 1972 BBC documentary Escape To Fulfilment.

This film described the therapeutic community he ran for young people. In 1974 he set-up his own company dedicated to helping people build on their strengths. Invited to work in Scandinavia, he spent over a decade there running open programmes and educating leaders in schools, business and sports. Returning to the UK in 1986, he focused on mentoring and building super teams. Mike’s style has been described as positive, unconventional yet also immensely practical. Well-known for his generosity, his web site provides tools that people can download and use in their own way.
