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 was absolutely amazing at our event! There are not words enough to describe how energized and engaged my crew was and I am so grateful to him for sharing his wonderful outlook with our team.

We hosted a drum circle, which Mike led as part of team building event for our staff during Mental Health Awareness Week. The staff provided excellent positive feedback on Mike and his abilities to engage, motivate and facilitate a great and fun time for all participants.

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.

Mike did a great job at presenting to our staff! In fact, our exit ticket indicated that he was the best speaker that we have brought to our district. We are definitely looking to bring him back if willing to speak to our students/parents. I would really like to continue our work together!

THE FAMILY CAFE

Our Chapter has hosted Mike Veny twice on our campus for his program titled ‘Transforming Stigma into Strength.’ Each time we have brought Veny to our campus, he has received nothing but the highest of praise from our students, faculty, staff, and community members…Veny has the remarkable ability to gauge his audience and deliver the best program possible. Not only that, Veny appeals to any aspiring musician or art professionals looking to make a career out of their passion. Because of his dynamic character, Veny is able to encourage students to continue striving to lead the most fulfilling life they can.

Mike’s talk was the highlight of the day! I learned a lot and so appreciated his thoughtful and insightful answers to audience questions. I hope Maine Parent Federation will have him back and can we do some drumming?

I have to say that never in my life have I heard someone speak so frankly about their own mental illness. It was amazing and refreshing. Thank you for making your keynote entertaining, informative, and enjoyable.

I am pleased to say Mike’s presentation was very well received by the conference participants! Our staff and sponsors were all very happy he was brought in as the keynote. Some campus administration in attendance were even impressed and have mentioned future possibilities for collaboration with Mike for other campus events, so we hope to welcome more collaborations with Mike.

Event Coordinator

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-WHITEWATER

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.
