THE TROPHY CASE
Perfect for team building
Michael offers your organization the same philosophies and methods that he brought to 32 years of basketball coaching. Winning is not the goal, it’s the result. High achieving teams focus on all of the elements coming together to create an ethos that results in winning. The goal should be to empower servant leaders to supervise and guide a generous workforce dedicated to a singular shared vision.
This is a funny, high-energy talk with real-life stories of teamwork, triumph, and tragedy.
Takeaways: More cohesive teams. Better prepared leaders. Clear understanding of roles and an appreciation of how each part serves the whole.

THE FAIRNESS METRIC
A deep dive into the culture and finding our place
One of the common themes in modern life is FOMO, the “fear of missing out”. We fear that the good life is happening to others, not us. That our experience is somehow “less than” everyone else. It makes us angry, envious, and anxious. This results in a less satisfied, less peaceful, and less productive life. And it infects all elements of our lives. Work, home, family and friends.
Michael drills down on the concept of fairness. What in life, if anything, is fair? And do we really want it to be? Audience interaction is high and everyone is entertained and educated in new ways.
Takeaways: A clearer understanding of what’s fair in life and what your expectations should be. With understanding comes peace of mind and less FOMO. A greater sense of place and value in this world, leaving you better prepared for the challenges and opportunities that come your way. Work and home-life become better, and relationships become stronger.
