On Performa speaking engagements and presentations, from those who experienced Dimis Michaelides' Marketing, Magic and Myth:

“It is not often that people who are jaded by professional seminars can be made to sit still in wonderment or laugh on command, at least so I thought until Dimis worked his magic on us... I would venture to suggest that the nuggets of wisdom contained in an hour-long encounter with Dimis is more valuable than what you can get from a whole week just about anywhere else...”
Franz Droeg - Managing Director, Grohe Middle East

“Your presentation was very positively received by our partners. It was both very educational and entertaining. Your
presentation skills are undoubtedly of the highest standard, enhanced refreshingly by the ’touch of magic’ you exhibited to us.”
Phidias Pilides,  - Managing Partner, PriceWaterhouseCoopers

“Thank you enormously for your magical contribution to our Financial Advisers Conference in Paris... the presentation was very well received and conveyed good messages... an excellent way of rounding off the conference.”
Colin Kelsey - General Manager, LIMRA Europe and Africa

“Dimis's creation absorbs and entertains you for he understands that the essence of Marketing lies beyond numbers and
analysis, the characteristic of our digital era of mass selling. He clearly recognises that the client is human with feelings,
fantasies, emotions and logic and this is what he addresses with powerful originality. Spinning the tale, building the myth, he leaves you with the enthusiasm that accompanies all successful selling.”
Dinos Hadjivasiliou - Customer Relations Manager, IBM

“The presentation is a unique mix of basic marketing truths, entertainment and stunning magic. Dimis Michaelides manages to amaze his audience throughout and finish his show in spectacular way. It’s not just a marketing presentation, it’s not just a magic show- it’s both and it’s more like a new form of art! Guaranteed to refresh and make an impact on any audience.”
Takis Fekkos - Managing Director, JCC

“Fresh, entertaining, innovative, unique! Leaves an after taste of smiling satisfaction. And the great thing about it is that you REMEMBER IT ALL without having to refer to piles of notes!”
