Get Inspired, Empowered and Motivated to create what You Want.

Being a leader doesn’t have to be hard. In fact, it can be fun! In this enlightening and entertaining program, Michael shares humorous and simple ways leaders can improve morale, increase productivity, build stronger teams to the advantage of the organization. The best part? These same strategies will also lower stress, improve job performance and promote greater self-satisfaction among employees.

Just as a GPS helps you to navigate through unfamiliar territory and ultimately get you to your destination, having good leaders does the same thing for your business.

Fear and anxiety either holds you back or moves you ahead.

Good leadership is the key to success. A team is not merely a collection of people. It’s a process that evolves; a process of give and take that builds working relationships. The basic building block of good team building is for a leader to promote the feeling that every human being is unique and adds value to the team no matter how large or small. If you manage people, do you know how famous you are? You're talked about on the golf course and they talk about you in the hair salon. Wouldn’t you like those comments to be positive ones.

Learn the keys to successful leadership and management with Michael’s very humorous, yet extremely serious talk as he shares with you his life’s ups and downs from surviving a bizarre double assassination attempt on his life to the reinvention of himself. From being broke and almost bankrupt to becoming a millionaire in less than five years during the worst recession in America. He went from being a nobody to being named as the best company in America in his field. How to take your business to the next level even during bad economic times will leave your audience with hope not despair.

You will learn how to make your business grow while others are struggling just to keep their heads above water. In this enlightening talk Michael offers guidance on how to step outside your business and take a long hard look at it. Though his witty but serious view he shows his audience how to think not only outside the box, but how to make it work for you.  It is more than entertainment it is enlightenment.

WHERE HAVE ALL THE PEOPLE GONE?

Has Technology Depersonalized Your Organization?

Did you ever shake hands with an email or fax? Did you ever look one in the eyes? They don’t have facial expressions.  Do you really know who you are doing business with? In the cutthroat world of business, many aspiring moguls reject kindness as a virtue and develop a sharp competitive edge that can wound struggling colleagues.  For those who wish to rise to the top without knocking others down, Michael offers guidance on how to succeed without destroying those around you. People want to do business with people not emails and faxes.

Through his humorous yet serious presentation Michael motivates his audience on how to think outside the box and put the humanness back into business. His human touch, not giving into or relying only on electronic options as most companies do, lead him to be nominated twice as the best company in America in his field.

Michael also explores how customer service in America has vanished.  Why are consumers treated like the enemy?  This talk is filled with real life humorous and horror stories about how the technological revolution has hurt business by removing humanism.  Based on the speaker’s book “Success By Default-The Depersonalization of Corporate America.”

WHERE DID MY AMERICA GO?

Based on Michael's bestselling book. “Where Did My America Go?”

George Burns once said, "How come all the people who really know how to run this country are busy driving taxis and cutting hair."

During this humorous but very serious talk, Michael engages his audience as he examines the changes in American politics and culture over the past one-hundred years.  You will leave this presentation asking yourself, “why hasn't anyone ever explained it to me that way before.”  He explores the myths of the great depression, immigration, taxation, global warming, political correctness and many other subjects that are on the mind of many Americans.  He explains why the once superpower of America is starting to lose its shine.

Why haven’t we learned from history Michael asks, as he spells out in bold detail where he believes government has gone wrong? 

 He examines how the press has and continually tries to influence the path of America through its biased reporting and skewed polls that are harmful to the American people and serve no one except their own agenda.

 Why are our elected representatives using the Constitution as a soapbox for reform without considering the consequences of their actions?

 The more you listen the more outraged you will become as he lays out his plan to save the American dream from becoming the American nightmare.

Although very humorous, Michael's talk may shock you into reality.
