Michael Luke Collins - Skills Enhancement Facilitator

A veteran training consultant with over fifteen years' experience, designing and delivering innovative management, communications and leadership courses throughout Ireland, the UK and Europe, to staff of companies, from multinationals to government and not-for-profit organisations.

A certified trainer and coach who has professional and academic qualifications in a range of subjects from finance to psychology.

A firm believer in NOT treating staff who attend training as information receptacles, instead constantly selling the benefits of the deliberate application of knowledge post training.

An advocate of collaborative training that engages stakeholders at each stage of the training cycle:

Pre Training Delivery
Training Delivery
Post Training Delivery

This results in greater learner buy-in and learners who take ownership of learning outcomes, and can apply knowledge post training in the work environment to drive performance.

What do people say about Michael Luke Collins?

“I saw Michael Luke deliver a keynote speech on soft skills to a diverse audience. It was highly educational, interactive and fun and I have no doubt that attendees were rushing away to implement some of the strategies they had learned. Highly recommended.”

“Michael Luke delivered a keynote speech at an event for the Business Improvement & Innovation Network on the topic of, Hard-Core Soft-Skills. Michael Luke demonstrated how, Hard-Core Soft Skills, can be used to increase job satisfaction, reduce unnecessary stress and enhance work performance. The response from the audience was overwhelmingly positive and he managed to actively engage the attention of the audience for over an hour with humour, energy and enthusiasm.”

“As an audience member on a number of occasions when Michael Luke delivered corporate training, I have been impressed with his ability to connect with an audience quickly, build trust and deliver rock solid content in a format that is easy to understand and recall. He uses a variety of skills to deliver his message, humour, story-telling and theatrics to name but a few. Michael Luke is a highly competent, highly skilled communicator, with many years of experience making his communication style highly effective.”

"As part of our initiative to improve staff health and wellbeing, we invited Michael to be our keynote speaker during an off-site event. He delivered an enthusiastic and well-received presentation on Job Satisfaction. He conveyed his experience and a wealth of understanding on the topic through his use of examples and references throughout. The subject matter really connected with the audience; so much so that we received numerous requests for more information and for additional sessions with Michael. We certainly look forward to working with Michael in the future.”
