MIKE ABRASHOFF – A TOP KEYNOTE SPEAKER IN TWO WORDS
I took a look through the pages and pages of testimonial quotes that I have on file for MIKE ABRASHOFF this weekend. I was amazed how many times pairs of words would stick as writers talked about the impact Mike and his message had on their audience. It’s absolutely remarkable the fan mail he receives after his talks. I thought it would be fun to share some of them in the graphic above to illustrate why he’s considered a top keynote speaker.
OVER 1,600 EVENTS IN 15 YEARS
It goes without saying, any speaker who’s done over 1,600 events in 15 years is pretty special. From the moment I began working with Mike in 2002, he was focused on delivering a great experience for the organizations who hired him. His book, It’s Your Ship, came out and he clearly understood that his job as a speaker was to make everyone look good – the meeting planner, the organization who hired him, and the agent who recommended him, etc. “Being a successful speaker is easy,” he would say “just focus on one talk at a time.” That philosophy has served Mike very well — he’s done more speeches on leadership, innovation, safety, organizational culture, turnaround strategies, teamwork, leading change, and other related topics than any other speaker I know.
IT HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME
Standing ovations are the norm for Mike Abrashoff presentations. The typical feedback we hear is something like “he delivered the best talk we’ve ever had.” The secret behind that amazingly consistent reaction is the preparation Mike does to assure he connects with his audience. Mike’s discipline and preparation are the reasons he’s been considered a top keynote speaker for so long. He truly is one of a kind.
