Speaker
Mike practices what he preaches.
As a speaker, Mike creates a unique experience for each client and audience. He brings the concept of superior customer experience to life with creativity, energy and spontaneity that keep audiences involved. Through clever, real-world anecdotes, captivating life experiences and a quick, engaging wit, Mike fills the room with surprise, emotion and an affirmative nodding of heads. His passionate style ignites a human chain reaction, moving audiences from passive listeners to active participants.
Mike helps people “see” both sides of the customer experience: as an employee serving customers, and as a customer experiencing that brand. He cleverly illustrates the role each person plays in making customer experience great…or proving why it’s not so great.
He has delivered more than 300 presentations and workshops on customer experience strategy and customer experience design, both in the United States and abroad. And whether as a keynote speaker, moderator, presenter, or panel member, Mike has enthralled groups from 50 to 1,000.
Most importantly, Mike engages with his clients the way they want him to. He fastidiously returns phone calls and emails. He works from your agenda, not his. And he engages collaboratively with you and your management to craft a customized presentation that not only mesmerizes an audience, but aligns with your business objectives and corporate mission.
