_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Thank you, Michael, and I must directly say that you are wrong. Much of what you said was new to me. I always appreciate something that gives me new thoughts, something that inspires.

When I first read the description about your talk on status, I thought, “I’ve never heard of anything like this. This sounds scientific and esoteric. How is this relevant to me and my business?” After I heard your talk, I thought, “Wow, why haven’t I heard this before? Understanding status has powerful application in every interaction with another person, in my personal and business life!”

After working with Michael Cushman on status and culture issues, I have now succumbed to "Status Brain". I now see status in everything and everyone and am shocked at how powerful and prevalent this unconscious form of communication is. Throw out everything you think you know about status. Now that I have access to the "language of status", the world makes a lot more sense. "Status Brain" is a catching and apparently permanent condition. I highly recommend it.

I have tremendous respect for Michael. I appreciate his breadth and depth of knowledge in business and people. He quickly sizes up people’s personalities and beliefs and flips their problems into opportunities. He engenders trust and respect and has a great deal of personal integrity. Michael genuinely wants others to be successful and helps without any expectation of something in return.
