Clint’s keynote is still being talked about within our company. The engagement, humor, content, and movement he created for us at Hewlett Packard will not be forgotten. He is without a doubt one of the most effective speakers we’ve ever had. Bob Southworth – Hewlett Packard

Clint’s been to two of our retreats, and regardless of what generation you are from, Clint’s message was relevant. Good tactics, good strategy, good message, and I’d highly recommend it to anybody out there who is trying to improve their millennials and workplace.  Jim Bull – Big O Tires

Clint is both effective and inspiring. He is a courageous and animated speakers who uses his personal story to empower and teach others. His presentation on Mentorship vs Management really hit the mark and had several “ah ha” moments. Wendy Ruud – Independent Community Banks of North Dakota

Clint is engaging and informative. He has the ability to capture a room, draw everybody’s attention, make everybody feel like they understand what he’s saying, and then take some of that back and use it as a take-aways. There’s a number of inspirational speakers out there that are trying to find their place on the circuit, and Clint is one of those individuals that everybody should take a hard look at–he is different, energetic, and he finds a way to connect unlike anybody I’ve ever seen. What differentiates him from other speakers is that he has tangible takeaways that others do not. Make sure you have venue that thrives off of the electricity that Clint brings to the table.

A greater focus on mentorship in the workplace is now truly a key to our success. I highly recommend Clint. You will not be disappointed. Keller Williams Realty Inc.

Jess Jurasz – Million Dollar Round Table

Jason’s message about your reputation as a company and having a signature move that distinguishes your service to others was “spot-on” for our employees to hear.  We all thought he was extremely talented and absolutely hilarious performing his celebrity imitations.  I would highly recommend Jason Hewlett for any function that needs an entertaining presentation with a serious message masked within.

Jason is amazing and was absolutely a crowd favorite. Jason is a fantastic performer with the ability to adapt to any audience. His patriotic end to his performance was outstanding and something our customers really appreciated and took to heart, especially since they are law enforcement and public safety officials. You can tell that Jason is so passionate about his skill and it’s truly important to him to know his audience – this was so apparent while working with him with his detailed questions in wanting to be certain he customized the best show possible for our group. We were so happy for the opportunity to work with him and without a doubt, would work with him again.

Lead Your Evolution

Everything changes. Not everything evolves. Every organization needs leaders who can lead the evolution. Change is inevitable; evolving is not. Evolving means becoming a better version of ourselves, our organizations, our world by focusing on the things we have influence over. Overcoming the adverse reaction to chaos and embracing the struggles that strengthen allow  leaders to help their organizations to evolve. The world is moving faster and faster requiring a constant evolving mentality. Never rest on laurels or past accomplishments instead seeking to grow, stretch, and evolve. Learn from those that came before and refused to evolve and gain insight into how you can lead your evolution.

Complete with “The Evolution of Dance”, this keynote ensures that everyone recognizes that everything changes – not everything evolves.

Evolution and change are part of our everyday lives and business environments… Judson Laipply has a compelling, easy to understand message for all that can help us in our personal and professional lives.

Stephen Tate – SONY

Bringing Judson in as our keynote was a DREAM! He wanted to know who our attendees were, to tailor his motivational message directly to them.

Shortly after attending Mike’s “What IF?” presentation I got inspired and put together a rather aggressive business strategy and a monthly goal that was quite large and I have never achieved it before. I shared that goal with a business associate and he said, “That’s a huge goal. You may be setting yourself up for failure with such an aggressive goal.” Without thinking for a moment I said what Mike says, “Ya, but WHAT IF I hit it?” Shortly after that conversation I realized that this month, my first month setting that goal…I am not only hitting it, but I’ve DOUBLED IT. Darla Johnson-Pellersels –  Prosperity Financial Associates

Rayburn was AMAZING!! Standing ovation, swarmed by the masses, lots of laughing, tears & goosebumps. His talent is beyond comparable to anything I’ve seen. Delta Vacations

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. Mike Corkery – President & CEO – Deltek

Mike opened up our two-day training with his “What if…” presentation. What a way to start a meeting! He was the perfect choice as he set the tone for the whole conference. Between laughing and being entertained, it made everyone think deeply about the human potential inside all of us. It has been said that if you change the way you look at things, the things you look at will change. With Mike asking this group of financial advisors “What if?” it opened up the opportunity to look at things differently. Mike Rayburn is an incredible speaker and an inspiring individual! Joan Stemler – Asset Marketing Systems

This is the second time we’ve had you at one of our events and you are just fantastic. I didn’t have any doubts that you would be excellent, but it’s always extra nice as a meeting planner to know in advance you are hiring someone who will exceed your, and your attendees, expectations. I’ve received more exuberant comments about your presentation than any speaker in a long time. Our attendees loved it! It was a pleasure to work with you – hopefully we’ll be able to do it again soon! Ann Winkel – Iowa Bankers Association

Mike literally AMAZED everyone with his talent, and then he AWED everyone with the message. We have been providing our employees with this type of retreat for 25 years, and beyond a shadow of a doubt, Mike Rayburn provided us with the most universally appealing and entertaining program we have ever had. Further, we would recommend Mike for any company’s retreat, motivational seminar, or leadership program where an inspirational speaker/presenter is needed. Mike is the best. Divine Savior Healthcare

What a wonderful performance Mike Rayburn did for my client, the National Association of Mortgage Brokers! This is typically a tough crowd to win over, but Mike’s talent had them calling for more. In my ten years with this client, I have never seen them call for an encore. I am so grateful that Mike happily obliged. I would highly recommend Mike to other clients I have. It is a pleasure to work with him before and during the event! National Assn of Mortgage Brokers
