Speaking
Engaging, interactive, and memorable presentations that move audiences beyond information toward meaningful change.
More Than a Traditional Lecture
After more than 30 years of conference speaking, Dr. Michael McGee understands that people rarely change simply because they receive new information. They change because they have an experience.
His presentations are designed to feel alive in the room—engaging, emotionally resonant, collaborative, and often surprising. When the format allows, attendees participate in demonstrations, reflect together, complete structured exercises, and build shared insight they can carry into real-world practice.
A Speaking Philosophy Grounded in ICP
Most presentations focus on what to do. Dr. McGee also explores how to do it and when to apply it. His speaking is grounded in Integrative Collaborative Psychiatry, emphasizing care that is integrative, collaborative, culturally humble, and responsive to social and structural influences on health.
