Testimonials for Michael Pascoe
Congress was a great success and your contribution ensured this. We were very pleased with the response with 1,400 delegates attending the Conference over the two days which is a record attendance for the South Australian Division.
CPA Congress
Michael provided just the right blend of humour and insight into our conference. His dry humour relaxed both the audience and the presenters, making the convention a far more enjoyable affair for all. His years of experience allowed him to probe into areas which enlightened the audience, giving them the confidence to participate more fully.

Michael was a great moderator at the event and we were really impressed by his attention to detail and the commitment he placed in preparation. He also managed to keep the discussion going on a challenging subject and was great at break difficult moments with humour.

The audience just loved him. He was extremely professional and had a good balance of humour and business comment.

Michael was outstanding. His presentation was both entertaining and informative. He made the audience laugh, he made them sigh and he made them think. The function was enriched by his presence.

Michael’s career has ranged from The Courier-Mail and South China Morning Post to the Australian Financial Review and Sydney Morning Herald, from Macquarie Radio to Channels 9, 7 and Sky.
