    • NAVIGATING THE RAPIDS OF CHANGE: Ignite Passion, Ownership and Unprecedented Results

    Imagine: Your team, once stagnant, now surfs the waves of change with passion, agility, and unmatched results. Disruption becomes opportunity as your people embrace transformation, fueled by a burning desire to excel. This is the power of leading change effectively.

    But let's face it: Most change initiatives end up like shipwrecked dreams, mired in resistance and mediocrity. Why? Because traditional methods often treat people like cargo, dragged along instead of inspired to contribute.

    This keynote shatters the mold. Join me as I reveal the secrets of exemplary leaders who navigate the rapids of change with remarkable success. Discover:

  • The 5 Pillars of Change Agility: Move beyond compliance and ignite voluntary commitment that propels results.

    • Unlock the Hidden Power Within: Create Your Optimal Peak-Performing Culture

    Imagine: Your team, humming with purpose, innovation soaring, and barriers evaporating. You achieve "lofty growth, distinction, innovation, collaboration and more" not through external efforts, but through the unleashed potential within your own people. This is the power of intentionally shaping your culture.

    Tired of trudging uphill? Your current culture might be the invisible anchor holding you back. But what if you could transform it into an engine propelling you towards extraordinary results? Culture, simply put, is the convergence of the way your employees think and act. That culture is producing your organization’s every result (financial, operational, customer, employee, etc.). Creating shifts in the way employees think and act, launches you toward your desired results. This keynote is your roadmap. Discover:

  • The Hidden Wealth: Learn how to tap into the untapped creativity, passion, and commitment of your employees – a goldmine often left idle.
  • Culture as Your Brand: Your culture is like a beacon, attracting or repelling talent and shaping your competitive edge. Will it attract the best and drive innovation, or hinder progress?
  • From Apathy to Action: Ignite a culture of engagement, accountability, and alignment. Watch silos crumble and collaboration take flight.
  • Beyond Compliance: Forget enforcing policies. Learn how to inspire voluntary commitment for faster, better results.
  • Laser Focus: Cut through confusion and achieve organizational clarity: everyone aligned, moving daily towards the same desired results.
  • More than just takeaways, you'll gain:

  • Actionable strategies: No fluff, just practical steps to implement immediately.
  • Shifting Mindsets: Learn to identify and shift limiting beliefs that hold you back.
  • The "Aha!" Moment: Uncover the root cause of your cultural challenges and unlock powerful solutions.
  • A Personalized Roadmap: Leave with a clear plan to build a culture that thrives in the "new world of work."
  • This is not just a speech, it's a transformation. Are you ready to unlock the hidden power within your people and achieve results beyond your wildest dreams? Then embrace the journey towards an exceptional culture, and watch your organization soar.

    • Unleash the Untamed Force Within: Where Accountability Ignites Success

    Imagine: Individuals and teams pulsating with purpose, achieving intoxicating heights not through obligation, but through choice. Barriers become fuel, silos crumble, and a relentless spirit of "whatever it takes" propels everyone forward. This is the transformative power of accountability unleashed.

    Stop settling for lukewarm results. Traditional approaches often leave employees disengaged, siloed, and operating far below their potential. This keynote is your antidote.

    Join me on a journey to explore accountability, not as a burden, but as a superpower. Discover:

  • The 4 Pillars of Untamed Accountability: Unlock the secrets that ignite commitment, ownership, and peak performance.

    Comments & Testimonials

    Mike – super job on your Keynote Talk “Disruption – Excel and thrive in the New World of Work”. As the Conference Planning Chair and a Member of the Board of Directors of the Electrical Generating Systems Association (EGSA), I can tell you that you were one of the best and most dynamic keynote speakers we have ever had. The Speaker Evaluations were reviewed and to my knowledge, we have never had a speaker get a 100% score, until your talk – all “6 out of 6” on the ratings. Very relevant topics kept the audience talking about “disruption”, in the hallways, exhibit halls and reception.
    Martin Morrill Conference Chair, EGSA
    We had a tremendous amount of positive feedback from both our distributors and employees on your presentation. They were chasing me down following the session to get your contact information. I know I got a lot out of it. Thanks again for a great professional presentation with a ton of learning! You nailed it.
    Mike Catalina General Manager, Huttig
    Attendees raved about how captivating and energetic Mike is and how much his message resonated with them personally and professionally. They stated that Mike was the best keynote at the conference.
    Kimberlee Humphrey CEO, Association for Manufacturing Excellence
    Mike, nobody is better on the topic of change. Your insights, experiences, and tips are immensely useful, pragmatic, and clear. I made more progress in leading our change efforts in the past two weeks than I had in the prior 2 years. Your ability to engage a group with your enthusiasm, humor and knowledge is unmatched.
