"Michael Tranmer was the keynote speaker at the 2022 Professional Engineers of Ontario Ottawa Branch AGM. His talk was titled: Engaged Leadership in the New Landscape – The 3 Skills Many Miss. The talk was motivational and challenged the audience to reflect on their leadership skills. Michael Tranmer is an engaging speaker and took us on an emotional journey sharing stories from his engineering career. Michael is inspiring, caring and passionate about making a difference.

"Michael Tranmer gave an inspiring and thought-provoking presentation at the 2022 PEO Ottawa Branch AGM on the topic of Engaged Leadership in the New Landscape – The 3 Skills Many Miss. The idea revolved around Leaders – Connect Innovate Impact and although these ideas and principles are universal, I felt more resonance given Michael’s engineering background and that he understood some of the idiosyncrasies of the profession. He is very engaging, even over the colder lines of Zoom telecommunications."
