What Other People said about Michael
Prof. Chris Edger,
Professor of Multi-Unit Leadership at
Birmingham City Business School,
Former HR Director for Mitchells & Butler
Winner of the UK HR impact of the Year
Award 2010
Michael Schmidt is an outstanding
communicator combining a rare talent
for making complex constructs simple
for his students.
He is that rare combination; both
humorous and impactful - an excellent
learning and development professional.
What Other People said about Michael
P坦l  Dochartaigh
Registrar and Deputy President, NUI
Galway
Ireland
Michael brought an outstanding mix of
professionalism, intense work ethic and
endless good humour to the job of
research project officer when he worked
for me in the late 1990s. I am not
remotely surprised at his continued
success since our project ended.
What Other People said about Michael
Michael is an enthusiastic and fascinating
lecturer. He is one of few who is able to
mesmerize an audience of young students
and have a real impact on the way they
learn. I wish all students could follow
Michaels series of lectures and short
courses in study techniques.

BA Business & Marketing
I first came in contact with Michael while studying for a BA in
Business and Management at Birmingham City University, as
my lecturer for the Business Skills Development module. His
delivery style and ability to engage all students is a
benchmark for all other lecturers. He is a dedicated lecturer,
keen to see all the students excel in their courses and
progress further in their careers.
As a mentor, Michaels advices to me have always been
invaluable and his enthusiasm for personal development is
infectious. Without Michaels advice and motivation I would
not have been able to succeed and progress in my studies
as well as I have done, and would certainly not have the
same career prospects as I now have.
What Other People said about Michael
In developing a
Post graduate
program for
Experienced
business
people:
Michaels open, straightforward style gave
students confidence and comfort to tackle
more complex challenges. In a busy work
environment, these coaching sessions
really helped the quality and quantity of
work, research and preparation that
delegates could cover.
Michael Schmidt was given a high score
and rating. His topics were relevant,
useful, of high value and helped to get the
job done.

Practice, Birmingham City Business School
Delegates comments in response to sessions by Michael
Schmidt have highlighted his approachability and
relevance being helpful and pragmatic.
Our delegates are experienced company employees many
of whom left school a long time ago with few qualifications.
Michael successfully overcame their trepidation at
studying and provided the tools and techniques to fit up to
10 hours of academic study into their already busy lives.
He has been universally praised and I would add my
commendation to his suitability in providing learner
support.
