“I’ve received such positive feedback already. I think your lectures have been the most engaging we have had yet!” – Ashley, VBMA Vice-President, Midwestern University.
With over 18 years of management experience in the veterinary industry, 19 years of marketing experience, and 26 years of sales and customer service experience I speak on a wide range of topics, from group dynamics, mentorship, social media, and marketing, all the way to theft prevention and time management.
“Mike Falconer is one of the best presenters I’ve seen in veterinary school and he has a great selection of presentations for future veterinary professionals! Mike kept students engaged and laughing through a well-balanced mix of valuable practice management advice and personal anecdotes. One of his greatest strengths as a speaker is his ability to incorporate the experience he has as a Hospital Administrator into a talk that resonates with students. One student was even convinced to join our club because of how much she enjoyed his talk.” – Kate, VBMA Secretary and Treasurer , Michigan State University
If you have a particular subject in mind I am happy to discuss this with you, but I am also happy to come up with suggestions based on the audience. I am happy to talk over zoom or in person. My talks are generally 50 minutes long, but can be turned into workshops for around double that time.

Mike on the Vet Med After Hours Podcast
“I found the lecture really interesting. We haven’t had a speaker breakdown the cost of products to us before and I really enjoyed your explanations. I definitely have a different perspective on the cost of products being sold, and also the importance of what is worth keeping in inventory vs. selling online. Also, a side note, having you on the main screen during the presentation was very interactive. I hope that we can have you back to speak with our group in the future.” – Teagan, VBMA President, St. George’s University, School of Veterinary Medicine
“Mike Falconer is a very effective speaker and is very engaging. I have never seen anything like his work before and he can easily move an audience while educating them!” – Benjamin, VBMA President, University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine
