The motivational speaker for change, business and society
This is a time of change and reinvention for society and for organisations and businesses everywhere. Tried and tested ways of doing things are no longer good enough - and old-style leadership development skills, courses on leadership and training for leadership will not cut it in today's fast-moving world of business and ideas.
The motivational speaker for ideas and performance
If you are running a business or organisation, you need the creativity and talents of all. You need staff who will step up, take responsibility and help you to create world-beating customer service, ideas and products.
Motivational speaker and business speaker Mike Stevenson will show you how to unleash this power, using knowledge and expertise gained in many sectors over more than three decades. You will see techniques he's developed with companies such as BSkyB, M&S and British Gas to harness the skills and personal involvement of staff. He'll use approaches taken by the Disney Institute - he works with their UK partner company - and by his own motivational agency, Thinktastic.
Make change happen quickly
As the motivational speaker who works with people, Mike will help you to create change that is informed by their needs and motivations - this is true leadership in management. The fact is, people want to influence events, not be driven by them. All too often society and the workplace do not reflect this - and the result is disengagement and underperformance.
By contrast, change that involves people is quick because they drive it. Mike will show you how to change the language and outlook of the workplace and unlock the motivations of people by developing and using skills in leadership. It involves giving everyone the skills of leadership that they need to make their work their own.
What a difference!
Great business and great changes in society proceed from the individual and the human - never from a grand plan or ‘master plan’. Mike's understanding of people, his experience of life and his passion for the individual make him someone that people trust. He galvanises and engages people, helping them to discover their creativity and commitment, which in turn drive transformational action.
Motivating people in social and business settings
Mike is as passionate about society as he is about business: they are both interconnected and neither can exist without the other. It's a message he has been putting across for decades, showing the ways in which business and social alliances can be forged, working with community and commercial organisations to generate new enthusiasm, new ideas and new ways of working together to the benefit of all.
With a depth of experience and a Scottish and international background, Mike brings new perspectives to any social event - from staff away days, team building days, to after dinner speaking, awards ceremonies and conferences. Great at bringing people together, Mike gets everyone involved and invites people to see things in different and highly stimulating ways - and then come away with ideas they can put into practice for themselves
