Michalis Papadopoulos (Business Clients Director, CYTA): "Michael Virardi, with his unique knowledge manages to influence our thought processes.  With simple, everyday examples, he shows us the way to change our behavior to improve ourselves and to make an honest attempt to serve our clients to the best of our abilities. When I first read his book “Positive Experience” I was inspired by the intelligence, the simplicity but also the strength with which every story made an impact on me. Every time I co-ordinated a meeting with a team at the Group, I used the book as a starting point, reading one or two of the stories and the reaction was always positive. The examples supplied opened the way for discussion and in fact led to an exchange of the teams’ own experiences and examples. The book became so popular that within a very short space of time it was in such high demand within our Customer Service Department that we’ve provided each member of the team with a copy. In addition, we also give it to our business clients, who all seem to appreciate it very much, judging from all their positive feedback."

Makis Keravnos (Senior Executive Director, Hellenic Bank): "I thoroughly enjoyed reading your book and I must admit that I cannot but agree with everything you wrote. The way you present an issue and convey your message is truly amazing. Personally, I detest verbose writing and adore the opposite: simple, solid and substantiated content that is presented briefly and to the point. That is precisely what your book offers."

Michael Demosthenous (Owner, Michael Demosthenous & Associates):
"Your book, added value to the development of our business sector and can easily do so in any other sector and industry in the world, I suggest to publish it in other languages too!"

Andreas Hadjipanayis (Marketing Manager, Remedica): "Thank you for inspiring me to continue work and live with passion. You have exceeded my expectations. Great program. Creative, inspirational. I enjoyed every minute."

Periklis Theodoridis (Sales Director, Cablenet Communication Systems Ltd.): "I have read Mr. Virardi's book - Θετική Εμπειρία - and I must admit that it is one of the most intriguing books I have ever read; written in a simple and yet intelligent way, describing all the things that we come across in our daily professional lives, but yet in a really pioneering style, and I congratulate him for that. I have specifically chosen to give his book "Θετική Εμπειρία" as a gift to each one of my team members those under Cablenet's corporate and indirect retail sales departments, since I honestly believe they will highly appreciate its content."
