Mike's Most Requested Programs:

Change Was Changed before It Was Changed
You simply must change to keep up with your competition. But change doesn’t have to be scary. Learn how to react to change constructively, thereby encouraging flexibility in the people around you.

Maximizing Performance
The business bottom line is affected by how you minimize mistakes and achieve consistent productivity. Learn how responsibility and accountability are essential to your survival and growth.

Motivation
Learn to make the most of each day. People with a positive outlook are happier and more effective both at work and at home. Mike sparks permanent changes by motivating you to focus on what is important in your life.

Customer Service
Right now your competition is busy trying to win over your customers. Don’t let that happen! Learn how to take your clients beyond customer service to a place called “customer specialness,” where your clients are loyal and your sales increase.

Teamwork
In an era of cutbacks, improving productivity with fewer employees becomes essential. But accomplishing more with fewer people takes teamwork. Learn how to meet or exceed your goals—without compromising quality or service standards—by building self-motivated teams.

Leadership
Learn when to manage and when to lead. Businesses need to be managed, but people need to be led. Effective managers who are also leaders become resource people for, not bosses of, others. And isn’t that what superVISION is all about?

Balancing Work & Home
It’s hard to succeed at work and at home when both are filled with goals, expectations, and demands. Finding the right balance can increase your productivity and improve your attitude. Put more
balance in your life!

Testimonials:

"What an absolute pleasure it was to have you speak at the largest Winter Management Conference TCIA has ever held - and to have such a fabulous presentation be a catalyst for our members' professional growth. You were a hit!! The delivery of your message was done in a captivating way that was able to be felt in a very real manner by those who need to be fed each year at this meeting. Thank you for delivering the meat in a gourmet fashion." -- Cynthia Mills, President & CEO of TCIA, the Tree Care Industry Association

“I have been responsible for hundreds of meetings, conferences, seminars and conventions over the past 20 years and have likely hired more than a hundred speakers.  I can’t think of another speaker that is like Michael McKinley. I certainly have worked with speakers who deliver a quality presentation that are reasonable to work with. However, I often expect more than that and Michael McKinley always delivers more than what I expect.  I believe it’s obvious that I would highly recommend Mike for any critical role in your convention or meeting, be it master of ceremonies, opening speaker, keynote speaker, or closing session presenter. He has a unique blend of competence, humor, platform skills, flexibility, substance, and sincerity.”  Rhoda Olsen  President/COO  Great Clips, Inc.

“Over the years Mike McKinley has made me look like a hero on more than one
occasion. The DaimlerChrysler Financial Services meetings where Mike has
been the "keynote" speaker have been rated the highest by our attendees.
Proof of how good he is? I have had Mike speak on at least 5 occasions
and can't wait to book him again.  -Jim Clincher, Manager–Marketing Communications, DaimlerChrysler Financial Services

“Your program was both engaging and entertaining.  We also really appreciate the time that you took prior to the event to learn about Krump Construction, our history, and our goals for the future. Your ability to weave in pertinent elements about who we are made your presentation even more ‘personal’ and relevant. 
But, what was the most impressive was your ability to tailor our program to such a diverse employee population. The audience at our staff meeting was comprised of everyone from Field Personnel and Construction Services Assistants to Project Engineers and Corporate Executives. You managed to create a program that was relatable to all levels of personnel. That is commendable. We arrived as individuals representing different ‘business units,’ and left united as ‘one’ group of fellow employees.”  -Tim Krump, President & CEO, Krump Construction Incorporated
