He has supported the Foundation for Youth Development and Project K for many years both as trustee and through leading strategic planning sessions. His broad experience and quick mind have assisted us to be at the leading edge of child and youth development.

"If you want to embrace some bravery and think about things in a different way, then go for it! I'm so grateful for the wisdom, the stories and the advice I gained from doing this course. It helped me to think differently about the direction I want to take my business and how we can grow."
Dr Deb Shepherd, University of Auckland
“Hutch is a great speaker – entertaining, stimulating, challenging and above all relevant and engaging in a range of areas including creativity, innovation, and thinking about business and ways of ‘doing’ business differently. Mike’s passion, humour and delightfully provocative world view is ever present and engaging.”
