Woolworths has engaged Mike a number of times over the last decade across many parts of the business and his sessions are always the highlight of the program. Mike is a naturally gifted speaker and his highly entertaining and engaging sessions help people understand their minds and operate at a higher level of conscious intent. If you want to achieve performance breakthroughs or big hairy audacious goals then Mike is a must have for you and your team!
Participants leave Mike’s sessions always wanting more and we have engaged him many times with many teams to take us on the full MINDsense journey.
Change is much easier to manage with teams and individuals that understand their own thought processes and learn how to silence the often resistant sub conscious mind. Mike’s approach is simple, elegant and highly effective!

I engaged Mike about two years ago with a remit to build world class customer decisioning capability at CBA. At the time the team really didn’t believe in themselves, that we could be world-class or that we could change the culture of how we did customer communications at CBA.
Mike initially engaged with my Leadership Team and then all Line Managers and the sessions were highly entertaining, informative, energetic, motivating and personal to each and everyone of us that took part.
Two years later, we have the highest engagement scores across the Retail Bank at CBA, have won awards across the globe for the Customer Engagement Engine and have become known for our thought leadership in Data & Analytics across CBA and APAC.
I’d thoroughly recommend the MindSense programme (and Mike) to anyone who wants to change the mindset of their team, from one of restricted belief to anything is possible…

Mike Duff is an absolute legend. He’s one of those rare human beings who has a profound impact on people’s lives. I should know, he has been a big influence in mine!

Mike understands what it takes to perform at the highest level whether it be in sport or business and he is able to communicate it in a simple and concise manner that everyone gets. I have seen the results of his work in others and it is brilliant.

I’ve met very few people who really understand how to help people create what they want in life and then also leave them with the tools to keep doing it for themselves. Ike will help you to see that all you need for the journey of life, you already have!

I have engaged Mike a number of times over the past 10 years in my roles as Chief Commercial Officer at Virgin Airlines and more recently as CEO of Cover-More. I have been impressed by Mike’s thorough approach prior to each engagement to ensure he understood and focused on the business drivers that we wish to be addressed.
Mike’s engagement with his audience is superb and our people always come away inspired, entertained and motivated, as well as having developed a deeper understanding of their minds. His approach is simple to understand and implement and life changing. In planning our staff development program we are looking for tangible identifiable results, and in Mike’s case he has always exceeded our expectations. I might also add, the feedback from participants has been universally enthusiastic.
