"I recently attended a leadership workshop where I had the great fortune to meet Mike Day. If you are like me, occasionally you meet someone and instantly sense honesty, sincerity and trust. That was my sense immediately upon meeting Mike Day. It was reinforced when I participated in Mike's presentation of VITAL SIGNS. Mike got directly into my heart with this message, and when he spoke of legacy and what I hoped to "leave behind". I was overwhelmed. When Mike told of how he had once been "fired" from a job that he thought was his life's work, it helped me to see what my role in life really is. What a blessing for me to have met Mike Day. Mike is the 'real thing'. Authentic. ." - Bobby Jordan, Sysco® Corporation
"I recently had the wonderful opportunity to hear Mike speak. After his presentation I couldn't help looking in the mirror and seeing a person that wanted to change. Mike's message reminds us that we are people and we all deserve to be treated as such. In our everyday business life we forget that. We are pushed to get more out of people, and most of those managers do it exactly that way, push. That included me. We forget to listen and communicate with people. We forget to try to motivate and be a mentor and leader. We forget how important it is to just have a conversation with somebody about anything. After listening to this, I realized that I have been a manager by title for a long time, but what I really want to be is a leader by example. I can't wait to get back and work on creating and strengthening my relationships with people both at home and at work.." - Travis Nelson, Sensient Technologies
"Mike is not just a speaker. Mike has a passion for sharing of himself in ways that free other to reflect on their own internal values, and the behaviors that result from them. When you leave Mike's session, you are not just a better leader...you are a better person." - Lisa Beaty, Diamond Innovations
