Mike Acker - Author, Coach, & Consultant

You can expect three outcomes.

1. A presentation that fits your audience.
With a vast repertoire, one might expect canned speeches. However, I pride myself on creating content specific to each group I address. You may ask me to do it on my own, or you can customize what I create for your group.

2. Excellence in communication with your team and to your people.
I am available to the organizer and will communicate promptly as the event develops. And when the event arrives, you will feel at ease knowing that I arrive early, have everything ready, and speak with excellence.

3. Someone fun to work alongside.
Customers, clients, and audiences enjoy my demeanor. More than wanting to impress a group, I want to impact lives through my work. Along with impactful content, I include stories of my shortcomings and weaknesses so that people can connect with me as I lead them to the desired destination.
