Leadership & Culture Transformation for Unprecedented Results

18 reviews

0 verified

By my early twenties, I had adopted the belief that the world was unfair, and the identity that I was a victim to it. I failed out of college and into a floundering career as a plumbing apprentice, and I blamed a lot of people and circumstances for the way my life turned out. Along the way, a few mentors helped me discover that how I was choosing to see myself was determining my results and that if I wanted more, I would need to become more. This discovery elevated my career, and in my path from plumber, to salesman, to trainer, speaker and coach, I discovered that identity is what drives the outcomes of our businesses and our lives.


Through speaking and coaching, I serve leaders to transform their identity to influence the culture and performance of their businesses. In the past 12 years I've spoken to nearly 30,000 people on the topics of leadership, influence, sales, and personal development. I've dedicated over 10,000 hours in front of audiences mastering the art and science of facilitation and engagement, and the remaining time obsessing over how to be better. As a coach, my mission is to help unlock a magical level of influence in already exceptional leaders by helping them transform their identities.


This work has given me the chance to share the stage with some of the most brilliant minds I’ve ever encountered, including John Maxwell, Pat Lencioni, Gino Wickman, Robert Cialdini, Joe Navarro, Les Brown, Lior Suchard, David Rendall, Simon Sinek, and Vinh Giang. If there are names on that list you don’t know, please look them up and learn from them. They are extraordinary.

Keith has leaders actually see their people, not at a superficial, artificial level. He's able to connect with leaders in a way where he has them actually be able to visually see their people and then hear them and then understand them and then from there within an organization, any type of result as possible.

When we brought Keith in, and it was a really big investment. And, so the question was 'how do we quantify the results that we're going to get?' We were really fortunate to have seen him in action with other firms so we had both faith and anecdotal evidence to make the leap. We can say now being on the other side of this, it would have been very foolish to have passed on the opportunity to work with Keith - it was money well spent.

The feedback we got after the session from a lot of the folks that are in the room who have experienced countless training sessions was that this felt different. Through his delivery, content, and a deep understanding of human performance, Keith's meaningfully differentiated himself from the other experiences that we've had.

You truly teach words to live by and work by! Thank you for a memorable keynote last week!

J.A., Chief Revenue & Operating Officer, 1-800-GOT-JUNK?

So grateful to be together as brand - back in Vancouver at our annual Kickoff. Inspiring content, and even more inspiring stories of dreams being realized and lives being changed throughout the 1-800-GOT-JUNK? brand. One of my many take aways so far (and thank you Keith Mercurio) - 'If you want big things from people, you have to SEE them as big. At their biggest and best.'

Today, the team at Pittsburgh City 1-800-GOT-JUNK? had a fantastic morning exercise that helped motivate the team and provided validation from their peers. It was an exercise that we learned last week in Vancouver during Keith Mercurio's session. The activity was so effective that it was impossible to leave the room in a negative mood after seeing that many Hi-5's. It's always great to start the day with positive energy and a motivated team.

Keith, thank you for leading another great workshop and thank you for being a game-changing mentor for me and my life. I've walked into several large rooms of people with you now and every single time I leave that room with so much love for each person in the room and uniquely inspired by them. If you ask me, THAT is your superpower. "People are only as good as the label you give them."

An really amazing event Keith! Thanks for joining us and delivering a truly memorable keynote. A really powerful presentation that while was delivered to a room full of people, you still felt like you were being talked directly to throughout.

So excited to welcome Keith Mercurio as our featured keynote facilitator - and I say facilitator instead of speaker because that's really what he's going to do. Facilitate thought provoking conversation with the entire audience. He's going to pull us out of our comfort zones - and that's ok - and prepare our entire audience to really open ourselves up to learning and growing as we continue on through the conference week. After spending just 30 minutes on the phone chatting with Keith I knew this guy was going to be a can't miss opportunity for our attendees.

I love what Keith does. It's really, it's really awesome. I've been in leadership for a long time, he is absolutely one of the greatest leaders I've ever interacted with in my entire career. Keith’s ability to get quick, very quick awareness in his audience and then right to a change that makes a big impact is unparalleled.

Radiant Plumbing

When Keith came into the business, everyone consciously became responsible for their numbers, and just really created a culture of true accountability. We’ve been able to watch him really help people transform. That’s one of the most gratifying pieces of having Keith here: it’s not just Radiant’s results, it’s everybody’s own journey.

Keith has this remarkable understanding of human beings and matches individuals, but also teams. And the one thing that I learned from Keith is that none of us, even I, none of us know the boundaries of our own potential.

Thank you so much for a great weekend. I got so much from the course! I gained an incredible amount of insight into Awareness and Influence (self and others). I also really enjoyed your style as a facilitator. I have put in considerable effort into structuring my classes/sessions/training as a conversation with the learners about a particular topic, vs lecturing about it. Facilitating the group to find the answers is so much more powerful.

It was a pleasure working with you yesterday evening! I am so happy you were part of our Fall event, providing our attendees with a unique and thought-provoking course. It really took them out of their comfort zone, and I believe they all truly appreciated that!

I hope this message finds you well. The vulnerability and power of your message made a profound impact on me. Much of what you said answered many of the doubts I had about my leadership style and taught me how important your overall state is to achieve my goals and help others.
