Mike Veny Reviews
Mike Veny was named one of the
5 Best Speakers in Mental Health
along with Brené Brown.
“Thank you for coming to speak with us! I truly enjoyed your candor. Within the Military ERG we have spoken about mental well-being, but have approached it in almost a reversed, slightly clinical way. During and after your talk people have reached out to help get involved and drive mental well-being not only in the US, but in our international chapters. We knew having you speak would be meaningful to those that participated, we just had no idea that the impact would be this large. I hope we can keep the momentum going that you sparked.“

“Mike’s virtual presentation went AMAZING! We had all positive feedback from internal employees. Feedback from the audience included ‘This is such a great talk and the answers are really honest and helpful. Thank you.’ and ‘Excellent session! Feeling grateful and inspired!’ Shortly after Mike’s session, employees had an open discussion about their own mental health experiences. It was great. We hope to bring Mike back in the future!“

“Mike served as a kickoff keynoter for the entire conference and, as such, did a great job of getting our group of more than 500 participants energized, focused and inspired! After more than 10 years of coordinating conference speakers and keynoters, Mike was refreshingly easy to work with and flexible enough to structure his program to deliver exactly what we needed. I would recommend Mike as a keynoter to a wide variety of groups and situations. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed!“

“Mike’s presentations are truly high-energy, inspiring and dynamic, which combine for a one of a kind experience. Conference attendees were totally enamored. His passion for wellness, music and life were contagious and served as the perfect complement to the research and clinical information disseminated by the other panelists. Mike received the highest marks of all the panelists in conference surveys. I highly encourage you to incorporate Mike at your upcoming event. I have no doubt that he will deliver a memorable presentation that your attendees will be raving about.“

“Mr. Veny was nothing short of outstanding! It was clear from our very first conversation that he was invested in helping us to craft an event that would not only entertain but also educate others about a topic often very difficult for most people to discuss. He was engaging and has a unique gift of including his audience in a way that promotes healing through a shared experience.“
