How do you measure the success of a professional speaker? In the case of Michael Wickett, it reaches hundreds of thousands of people.
Michael is in high demand to speak, train and consult across
North America. He has given over 1,000 speeches, conducted 150 different programs
for churches and been the featured speaker for over 50 major charities. He has a record of supporting companies both
large and small in creating record sales results and profitability. In
addition, he directly coaches sales professionals, business owners and managers
who value his wisdom and counsel.
When it comes to recording and marketing six set audio
programs, Michael Wickett has no peer. He is the most successful ever with over
fifteen titles to his credit. He has also just entered in to a major global digital
distribution deal with one of the largest sources of audio downloads for Mp3
players, smart phones and tablets to insure his message transcends the
technology and is available for all those who will listen. He recently
re-released his all-time best selling audio program on CD, “It’s All Within
Your Reach.” In it, he details how to
‘dare to dream BIG dreams … and then make those dreams come true.’ Michael also
recorded the world’s first comprehensive audio program on forgiveness, Forgive
and Be Free; which is recognized as a landmark achievement in terms of content
for audio publishing.
Michael’s audio program on positive focus played on American
Airlines flights around the world for over 18 months. He has developed and teaches a six-session
life skills program for recovering alcoholics at the Salvation Army Harbor
Light in Michigan. He was the featured
key note speaker for the 100th Anniversary Celebration for The Boy Scouts of
America, in Michigan. Michael hosted a documentary for Public Television titled
‘Michigan and The American Dream.” His
corporate clients include General Motors, State Farm Insurance, Century 21,
NestlĂ©’s Corporation, 3M Corporation and IBM.
He has also coached many entrepreneurs and smaller businesses to achieve
record results in an optimum amount of time.
Michael’s success is indicative of what we all can achieve
if we take the right steps to do so. He recognized that he wanted to learn and
grow beyond his humble circumstances, so he has been a lifelong student of
learning. He has paid ten different extraordinary professionals to share their
wisdom and expertise with him. And it has paid dividends. Upon returning to his
high school for his 50th Reunion, he had become the most famous person in the
history of the school, since 1930! He
has been widely affirmed for the significant contributions which he has made
through his speaking and training.
Dan Strutzel, then Vice
President for Nightingale Conant, the world’s largest producer of audio success
products, said that after fifteen years of hearing all the world’s major
speakers …. He feels the two best
speakers in America are Zig Ziglar and Michael Wickett
Yet, Michael has never lost the touch to relate one on one
with either coaching clients or in an intimate group setting like we have here
today. He remains the grateful son of working class parents who learned how to
create a better life for him and others. Michael has raised himself up by his
bootstraps through the tools of goal setting, visualization, lifelong learning
and forgiveness and then has taught those hundreds of thousands who have
listened to him speak to do the same.
