Michael Haupt

“I joined Michael's Life Legacy program in 2023. Since then we've had numerous discussions about the state of the world and ways to improve the fate of humanity and all life on earth. We have so much in common, being both from European descent born in Southern Africa. We share so many ideas and concepts! Michael's program helped me clear my thinking on many of these issues. The path forward is now so much clearer. Especially the concept of clashing world views and the death/birth of world views as they happen. And his ROAM research database helped a lot in this process. I've used it extensively to deepen my thinking and reading about all the complex topics necessary to build a deep understanding of the world. I especially liked the way this database is structured and how it links between topics. It's really useful to map out complex ideas. I'd probably improve the interface a bit and add a"mind map" type of view showing the complex relationships of topics in a more graphical way...but other than that, I keep using Michales database even long after the program finished...there's just so much to learn and explore there.”

“I met Michael when collaborating on the development of a whole system change strategy, called the Tipping Point Festival. Michael offered his services and quickly demonstrated that whilst an adept systems thinker he was able to hone in on the details and design a more robust communications strategy. Michael provides a very warm yet highly professional approach. He is a diligent, disciplined and thorough project coordinator. I’ve had the pleasure of knowing Michael for just over a year now. Above all, I have been impressed by his ability to simplify and clarify a complex and systemic project approach. Michael would be a true asset for any individual navigating chaotic times and comes with my heartfelt recommendation”

“I had an opportunity to work with Michael when he joined Stop Reset Go, Tipping Point Festival and Tipping Point System. Michael is a consummate professional with his heart in the right place. His strength is in system level thinking and in technical systems. He has the tenacity to get things done and create the systems and architectures required for the project. Michael is methodical and looks at things very carefully. He is a team player and contributes unique insights. He has an open mind, great integrity and an open heart. He is not afraid to speak his truth, but always in a kind and compassionate way that bridges rather than alienates. Above all, he has a vision for a future of humanity that is just and in balance with the rest of nature which he aligns all his words and deeds to. It has always been an honor and pleasure to work with Michael, and I look forward to a long and fruitful collaboration with Michael aligned to our common vision.”

“Worked with MIchael for almost two years in which three of us were equal partners in designing new global initiatives for TomorrowMakers, in the course of which I gained tremendous respect for his knowledge and abilities in systems design and emerging technologies such as blockchain and complex systems mapping--exactly the tools we need for navigating this transitional time for human civilization. ”

“I started following Michael on Medium before working with him. I found his writing to be some of the best on Medium for several reasons. 1) He is skilled at going deep into a subject and seeing all sides of an idea or project. His research is exemplary. 2) While he thrives on facts, he is also capable of providing a rich context around almost any subject so that it can be explored and fully understood in relationship to other work and research occurring. 3) He has the utmost integrity and ability to co-design with others. 4) He has a good grasp of future alternatives and possibilities. It is great that he is accessible to others with Sensemaking Group as he has many things to offer. ”

“I've had the opportunity to work closely with Michael in this last year, and have had the first hand experience of the impact of his insight, creativity, experience, and counsel. As an advisor to My Swirl, as a fellow change-maker in the world working on disruptive technology and new business model paradigms, Michael is an exceptionally rare person and professional who brings an almost uncanny level of human insight to venture growing and business development that is very difficult to find. He has made an indelibly powerful and positive mark on me and our efforts. I only hope I have the opportunity to have his brilliance in my camp again. He has earned my respect, admiration, and deep gratitude, and anyone would be fortunate to have him in their circle of talent and insight. ”

“I very pleased to say that I had the privilege of working with Michael for a little over 2yrs. He headed up our marketing department, and he was an integral member of our senior team. He has a very dedicated work ethic and was always there to get the job done. What I appreciated most about working with him (besides being a great guy overall), was the way he would look at marketing strategies and how to position our brand, offers and services. He helped shape the main marketing strategies that gave us the growth before we were acquired. Thank you Michael and I hope we get to work again in the future!”

“Michael is a passionate, purpose driven change maker with an innate drive to paying it forward. I’ve had the privilege of working with Michael to coordinate and host the Proudly for Purpose tele-summit in March 2014. For this event, we had in-depth conversations with 10 global thought leaders to share their experience on sustainability, capitalism and the Purpose Economy. Michael’s innate knowledge of driving change processes with excitement and innovation, contributed hugely to staging a uniquely purposeful series. Furthermore, he eloquently excelled at welcoming and acknowledging our content experts and audience for their contribution. Michael is a leader who values empathy, intuition, collaboration, and connection with purpose and comes with my heartfelt recommendation.”

“Michael was an inspiration and a solid support for me as I took a leap of faith into a big and bold plan. His calm, confident and reassuring presence was invaluable in holding the space for me to step into, often full of doubt and fear but fuelled by excitement. He insisted I did not shrink, but embrace my goal, however audacious. He has a unique take on life, and so on how to connect, communicate and to shape a more conscious world. His expert advice in the areas of strategy, social media, marketing is insightful and deep. Michael enabled the outward expression of an inner vision. His professionalism in setting up our inaugural webinar was exemplar, his delivery faultless and his humour a delight. It’s not that I would have no hesitation in recommending you to work with Michael – rather I would thoroughly recommend that you do.”

“Mike’s perspective on how best to define and deliver an outsourced sales lead generation service has been instrumental in establishing www.networksunday.com. Venturing into new territory with your first client is always a daunting experience, but from the start Mike’s intelligent, open and collaborative approach meant we quickly fine tuned the model and achieved great results. I have been lucky to work with Mike thus far and look forward to a long term association.”

“THe very brief interaction i had with Micheal was really life changing for me. Being at a very difficult time in my business. After interacting with Micheal and watching his webbinar..i was newly enspired and had new direction in my situation. Truly thank you for your support and advice, and thank you for sharing you valuable knowledge in such an unselfish way. I would definately reccommend your services. Kind regards Charlene”

He was well-liked by colleagues and clients and I have no hesitation recommending him.”

“Michael is both a strategist as somebody with a thorough understanding of business processes and customer communications, a rare combination. I endorse Michael for two reasons: he always delivers what he promised in time and there is no better advocate for a greener world by getting paper out of this world, in a way consumers prefer.”

Always professional, the clients he dealt with had every respect for him and Mike maintained good relationships with his work colleagues too.
