Mike's Bio

Most organizations don't suffer from a lack of talent - they suffer from a lack of leadership that works. That's where Mike Staver comes in. Mike is the author of Leadership Isn't for Cowards and a nationally respected speaker and coach who helps leaders close the gap between what they intend to do and what actually gets done. For over three decades, he's worked with clients like FedEx, Miracle-Ear, Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, and the Mayo Clinic - not just inspiring their leaders, but transforming how they lead. Armed with degrees in Business Administration and Counseling Psychology (yes, he knows why you're avoiding that difficult conversation), Mike brings clarity to the chaos. His approach is practical, entertaining, and just irreverent enough to keep everyone awake - and thinking. He doesn't waste time on theory. He delivers real-world strategies to tackle the most frustrating challenges organizations face.

Frequently Asked Questions on Working With Mike

I am a leadership keynote speaker who helps organizations close the gap between intention and execution. I deliver practical frameworks leaders can apply immediately to drive accountability, performance, and measurable results. And I'm easy to work with. No Drama. No Diva.

Speaker fee includes one pre-event call and up to a 2-hour presentation. For a small additional charge, we can add a breakout or workshop to your event.

Absolutely. I don't deliver a "canned keynote." Before every event, I conduct a pre-event strategy call, review company goals, culture and challenges, and then align my message to your theme, audience and industry.

Depending on the audience, if appropriate, we offer a 3-part video follow-up series at no additional charge to reinforce the message.

You're welcome to record the presentation and share it on an internal, password-protected platform for members only for up to 60 days. A copy of any recording and any photographs should be sent to Mike's representative in a downloadable format for our use.
