“Michael comes from what I believe is the most important preparatory position for a director-level role: Outside Business Development. He has keenly balanced tactical and strategic smarts that comes from his drive to achieve deep understanding of the role of the organization in the communities the it serves. Add those two traits to an unyielding passion for what the organization does, the role of education in the country, and you have the recipe for one of the rare breed of employee you simply can't "pass up." Mike is articulate, commanding, and an exceedingly adept communicator. We used to talk about folks like Mike around the public affairs office -- how lucky we are to have people like him to train as spokespeople for the organization, how powerful an impact they make at campuses, on camera, and in print with their linguistic prowess and business savvy -- Mike is an A-lister. There is no B-list.”

“I have known Mike in two different roles. I first met him several years ago when he was a customer service trainer at a large financial services company in Western New York. Both of us were members of the Niagara Frontier Chapter of the American Society for Training and Development. I was immediately impressed with his friendly, outgoing personality and interpersonal skills. More recently, I invited him to join my Rotary Club, which he has done. I have come to appreciate his generosity and volunteer work in support of the Boy Scouts as well as various community service projects conducted by our Rotary Club. I respect Mike as someone with integrity, strong positive values and a delightful personality.”

- Kevin C.

“Michael and I spent several years working as colleagues at RSA. During our tenure, Mike continuously stood out as RSA's best performance consultant. He is articulate, passionate, warm, friendly, insightful and he approached each project with the same unbrideled zeal. Mike and I were handpicked to lead a new business venture which grew to over 120 employees within 2 years - due in large part to Mike's vision, approach, preparation and attention to detail. Together Mike and I led the local Toastmasters club and catapulted it to the highest performance levels within Toastmasters International. As the area and district governors, Mike set a clear and unwaiving vision aligned with the international vision and he provided the necessary club support to achieve his vision. Mike would be a tremendous asset to any organization that appreciates individual creativity and enthusiasm and supports a vision of operational excellence.”

“Performance Consulting is not just about training or teaching in a way that helps people learn faster. It is recognizing that every organization has both strengths and weaknesses and in short, Performance Consulting is the art of finding the difference of where an organization is currently and what needs to be done to meet and exceed their objectives and goals for success. This at times can be thought of as a daunting and erogenous process for some. In order to be reputable and effective in this field, Performance Consulting has to be in your “soul”. It is a part of you that lives to seek, to find, to conquer, and achieve. Whether Mike is consulting an individual, team, or department, his command of Performance Consulting is what makes companies have the ability to realize and achieve their potential to great success. He understands how to “get to the root” of the problem in a no nonsense way while maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and integrity. His approach is both practical and methodical with an out of box approach that is refreshing. Solutions include process improvements, systems, coaching, and training, to name a few. His dedication to his work, and his team are an inspiration to his field and fellow comrades. I have had the distinct pleasure to work with Mike Berta and will forever be grateful. Mike Berta is a great and needed addition to any organization that desires to achieve greatness”
