Canyon Ranch (Tucson, Ariz., and Lenox, Mass., multiple visits, continuing) Presentations to medical and other staff, and to guests. Commonwealth Club of California (San Francisco, 2012, 2016) "Michael was the impetus and leader of a popular program in February. Members were intrigued by the information they received as well as by Michael’s very personal and inspiring input." Boston College (Newton, MA) "My students were thoroughly engaged not only by Michael’s grasp on his topic, but by his humor and infectious enthusiasm." "Michael, I wanted to thank you for your transparency today. Although our class is geared towards adolescent development, today you have helped me in my adulthood development. It is refreshing to have open and genuine conversation." Phillips Exeter Academy (Exeter, NH) "The breadth and content of his knowledge was provocative, and to many students, vital. Most effective was the profound authority of his personal journey. He provided facts about addiction in general and food addiction in particular, solid knowledge about available support for those who struggle with food, and compelling personal reflections." Pine Manor College (Chestnut Hill, MA) "Michael’s presentation was precisely what we were looking for, and we’ll invite him back, happily."

I could tell they were pumped up by the speech by the way they referenced it in our meetings afterward." Brookfield (MA) Unitarian Universalist Church "After the service, I could tell that people were excited by Michael's talk. He spoke plainly and confidently and left us enthusiastic about following his advice to do the little things, as well as the big things, with passion and care."
