Straight A’s Won’t Get You the Job!

Most students believe the myth that getting straight A’s in college is the best path to getting a great job. Not true! The research is clear; employers are looking for other things. Michael’s consulted with people from more than 1,200 different industries such as Kinko’s, Citibank, Sears, Subway, Ford, Outback, Wrigley and the United Way. He knows what employers are looking for, because they tell him! And he will tell you in this exciting, useful and straight-shooting keynote perfect for all students.

Rehab: For Student Leader Junkies!

Are some of your student leaders trying to “do it all” and don’t know why nothing is getting done? Are they stressed and burned out? Are they turning other leaders off with their “I’ll do everything” attitude? How many have the inability to say “no?” It’s time for some leader rehab where students learn the how and why of doing less and leading more. Great keynote for established student leaders or for those on their way to becoming a leadership junkie.

Discover the Leader Within!

Why is it that some leaders stick out in our mind more than others? What special qualities do they have? Ever wondered how you can develop leading edge strategies that will improve your personal leadership effectiveness? By unlocking your leadership potential, you’ll grow and groups you are a member of will excel! Lead, Follow or Get Left Behind! (Most requested leadership keynote… interactive, funny and motivating.)

Greeks Get Hired!

Apply Your Greek Experience to Get a Job and Achieve Success

Sure, your fraternity or sorority experience is a big part of your life now, but how are you going to sell the value of that experience to a future employer? Believe it or not, the skills you pick up as a fraternity/sorority leader are all things employers are looking for! The key for you is to get the most out of your Greek experience NOW so you can use it when you’re writing your resume, applying for a job, networking with alumni, preparing for an interview and moving up the corporate ladder. You’ll uncover real world strategies that will leave you with a new sense of how important it is to be Greek and the competitive advantage it gives you if you know how to sell it.

Create Your Own Destiny, Because Nobody Else Will!

Two questions hold the answers to your future: “What do you want out of life?” and “What are you doing to get it?!”  Many people simply wander through life unmotivated, with little confidence to take action. Whether you desire better grades, a fantastic job or to thrive in your chosen major, nothing will happen unless you have a plan and take action. Interactive and motivational, Michael gets you thinking, and moving, in the right direction. Use his “Destiny Splash” tool to discover how to move from being a “Destiny Dreamer” to a “Destiny Creator!” While others sit and wonder what happened, Michael will show you how to act with confidence and create your own destiny!
