Based on the best-selling book, The Talent War: How Special Operations and Great Companies Win on Talent. After twenty years of experience as a US Navy SEAL, including the Joint Special Operations Command, Mike’s ability to define and recognize elite talent is beyond comparison. In The Talent War, Mike teams up with business executive George Randle to translate the US Special Operations community’s ability to select and train raw talent into methods for use within the corporate world. In this talk, he explains how your team can make the shift from hiring skills to hiring character to build a deep bench of talent. To build the strongest team, you must recognize the best talent. To build a winning team, you must then develop and manage your talent. Let Mike guide you to hire better people and build an elite team capable of taking on any challenge in any environment.
Mike’s leadership skills were developed by a series of world-class mentors he served for and forged through his vast combat experience as a special operations leader at the Tier One level. Mike’s speech reinforces the core leadership principles and mindsets required to secure victory, even in the worst of conditions. Mike defines the role of true leadership and the legacy every leader wishes to leave behind. He will touch on leadership development, how to build high-performance teams, cultures defined by trust and vulnerability, risk mitigation, and performing in high-stress situation. The keynote speech will leave a lasting impression that will inspire your people to take action and LEAD.
Peter Drucker once said, “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” Well, behavior eats culture for lunch. Our culture is ultimately determined not by what we say, but what we do, especially when no one is looking. Mike will talk about converting an organization’s espoused values into day-to-day behavior through continual leadership development and setting the example through vulnerability to foster trust and a sense of shared adversity across all levels of an organization.
Bring your team together to be a steadfast unit defined by trust, all leading to the creation of the only culture that matters – a culture of decentralized command.

Whether you’re fighting in a war or amid an early-stage start-up, we all have a common enemy – ourselves. During his military and business career, Mike learned there is no greater enemy than ourselves. Overcoming the doubts in our minds or continual setbacks is the key to resilience and fortitude. There will always be external factors, like a client’s hesitation or an encroaching deadline, but your reaction determines the outcome.
Mike will show your team how to harness their individual willpower to champion any adversity, learn, and come back stronger than ever.
