Type: Keynote, Captain of 1980 Olympic Hockey team
Pros: I have worked with Mike Eruzione a number of times as a keynote or featured speaker. On every occasion, you can feel the excitement and energy coming from the audience when he talks about the 1980 Olympic Hockey team.
Mike always connects the presentation to the theme of the conference and talks about leadership and teamwork, but in my experience the main purpose of his keynote is to entertain the audience with stories of the Hockey teams amazing run to the Gold Medal at Lake Placid.
Q&A was always lively, entertaining and there were multiple questions from the audience.
Cons: In my experience there really is no key message to his presentation. He may deliver more of a message if requested or possibly at other conferences, but when I worked with Mike, the story was about the Gold Medal team. I am not really sure that is a con however, as it is an entertaining and phenomenal story.
Producer’s Notes: Entertaining speaker who would be great for any audience who remembers the 1980 Olympic Hockey Team’s Gold Medal run.
