“...there wasn’t a single employee who wasn’t laughing throughout your presentation. At one time or another you identified and connected with every employee. You had a 96% favorable rating with our staff, higher than any of our other presenters.” Terry Mccoy, Training Coordinator - IBM Texas Employees FCU
“Mike and his presentation were awesome - he shocked me - it was way more than I and the rest expected. His opening was amazing! A nice change of pace for us. This was our 9th annual conference and his presentation was what we needed and we didn't even know it.” Amy Wyer - University of Texas Systems

- WHAT IF AND WHY NOT?

We hear it all the time, “We need to think outside the box,” right? So... how exactly does one do that? In his hilarious, musically amazing, motivational keynote, Mike Rayburn does what no other presenter can do. Not only is Mike a world-class guitarist and stand-up comedian, he is an authority on personal development and human potential. In this energetic presentation Mike uses his guitar and comedy to teach three simple, powerful tools attendees can use immediately and forever to access their unrealized potential, to look at old things in a new way, and to leap beyond their perceived limitations. These are the tools which took Mike from playing for seven people in a bar in Virginia to standing ovations at Carnegie Hall. They work. For anyone And everyone. Always. It is one thing to say that something is true. It’s completely another to actually prove it right there on stage.
