He really is the reason I did the second year of the MA with (i-coach); I just couldn't face the research project. But really wanted to learn everything else (that was) put on the programme! Mike made the project sound so easy to accomplish. He deconstructed it, in a meeting in the Coffee Cup in Hampstead. And I felt, well, I can just go forwards without worrying. Which I then did. And that project (has now), ended up in a book and as a headline 'specialist skill' for coaching pitches. (Rachel)
