WISC highly recommends Michael's expertise to any organization that wants to take their communication levels to new heights. We look forward to expanding our working relationship with Michael in the future!
Mirco Schroff Director of Coaching and Player DevelopmentWhitby Iroquois Soccer Club August 2012
As the Technical Director for the Oakville Soccer Club from Nov. 2010 until June 2012, I had a number of opportunities to work with Michael Langlois. Each opportunity was a learning experience for me, and I found that I benefited greatly from Michael's excellent communication skills and advice.
I hired Michael to deliver a keynote presentation to the rep coaching staff at the Oakville Soccer Club, on the topic of effective communication. Michael not only engaged and entertained the coaches during his presentation, but more importantly, he taught them practical skills that they could use to improve their ability to communicate with their players and parents.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Michael's work - he is an engaging presenter with a wide range of skills that can be of great benefit to any organization that deals with communication.

"I learned of Michael several years ago from a number of professional and amateur coaches who had worked with him. When I was coaching in Toronto, I initially brought Michael in to tutor our young Maple Leaf prospects and draft choices to assist them in developing strong communication skills. Michael also provided media awareness training to prepare them for the intense Toronto sports scene.
Personally, I have been truly enriched by Michael's knowledge, experience, and insight. He became and has remained an invaluable resource and friend, providing me with expert counsel and guidance in a challenging and always changing professional world."

"The Central Hockey League contacted Michael to speak to our Head Coaches about all areas of communication during our Annual League Meetings. After we saw the draft of his presentation, we added our Team Governors/General Managers as well as Public Relations/Broadcasters to his presentation groups. Michael's service was invaluable for all of these individuals in dealing with the media, Officials, their players and future employers. We appreciate the information and ideas that Michael was able to impart on our staffs.”

Our players have met with Mike on a variety of issues and each of them have found him to be extremely knowledgable and easy to work with. Michael has the ability to put you at ease and our players feel they can contact him at any time over any issue. We have found that Michael goes above and beyond when it comes to dealing with our players and helping them through any issues that they may have and we strongly recommend him as he is more than able to deal with any situation that an elite athlete encounters."

"For college athletes and coaches today, it is increasingly important to develop strong communication and media skills. I had the opportunity to attend Michael Langlois' talk on this subject recently at the American Hockey Coaches Association convention, and was duly impressed with his presentation. The work he does with coaches--and athletes--is all the more important these days given the high profile and media attention placed on those in the sports world."
