The “What If…?” Experience

  • Within 30 seconds your group will know that the impossible is possible.
  • Within two minutes they’ll be laughing and totally engaged.
  • By the end they’ll be on their feet, energized and equipped with solid business tools and wisdom.

Mike Rayburn’s “What IF? Keynote Experience” is about:

  • Innovation: finding and creating the opportunities, products and processes that others miss.
  • Change: moving from managing change to creating change.
  • High Performance: making those opportunities happen.

Your teams will leave with the tools to do just that. Oh, and they’ll laugh so hard it hurts! More than anything…“The What IF? Keynote Experience” is just that: An EXPERIENCE. As an opening or closing keynote, or mid-conference energizer, “What IF?” will make your event successful and unforgettable. There is no one who does what Mike Rayburn does.

Takeaways…your teams will:

  • Learn three powerful tools to access their unrealized potential.
  • Create change, rather than manage change.
  • Discover the opportunities they’re currently missing.
  • Set and achieve bold, empowering goals.
  • Embrace their uniqueness as their competitive edge.

I heard nothing but rave reviews. Add to that, everyone was talking about what a genuinely nice guy Mike is. Staff really enjoyed getting to talk to him throughout the day. I can’t imagine a better keynote!

This was an outstanding session. Mike made us think in a different manner. I now look at the "What IF" question differently!

Florida Local Government Information Systems Association

Wow! Two standing ovations say everything about the powerful message this speaker provided, not to mention his rad guitar skills. The music is the perfect accompaniment to the What If?" point - both effectively grabbing the audience, We will not forget this speaker or his poignant message. Mike was AMAZING! He did an outstanding job, the crowd LOVED him and he was a dream to work with – so easy, so kind. It was the best way to close the conference!!

Mike Rayburn was the most awesome keynote speaker we’ve ever had for our annual conference! He set the perfect tone for kicking off the event - upbeat, entertaining, and had our attendees thinking about endless possibilities throughout the conference. I would highly recommend Mike Rayburn for any conference - especially if you want your attendees to start thinking outside of the box. He’s the best!

Mike Rayburn was a hit with our audience. Our group of entrepreneurial financial professionals were able to connect to his message of “What If?” as it relates to thinking outside the box and growing their business. Mike’s use of music and comedy to deliver his message is top notch.

The room was fully engaged and enthralled with the presentation. Mike was so gracious to talk to and sign all the those books.

Kathryn Goldstein

We have worked with Mike Rayburn on two separate occasions – and both times Mike delivered! We always look for speakers who motivate and inspire, and Mike’s message of “What If” was spot-on. It’s important to have audiences learn, but also have some fun along the way – and Mike really helped us do that by being thought-provoking and entertaining. I highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for a keynoter who can engage an audience on how to make the impossible, possible.
