"A sincere thank you for motivating and challenging our students! In my thirty years experience of being involved in programs designed to welcome and motivate new students, your keynote address during our New Student Convocation ranks right at the top. The 2,500 freshman, along with their parents, our faculty and community guests were held captive by your inspiring and thought-provoking message."

Earl F. Doman, Ph.D., Dean of Students Southwest Missouri State

"You absolutely held them captive for your hour-long presentation. This in itself is a compliment, because they won't sit for an hour for anything! Your message was inspirational and truly moving. Everyone enjoyed your presentation so much that I received many compliments about my choice for the keynote speaker. Being that I was new to the organization and had never organized an event such as this, I have never been so relieved in my life!"

Laura Schweikert, MS, MT, Physicians Relations Manager Regional Medical Center of San Jose

"On behalf of the Great River Energy, Minnesota Rural Electric Association, and the Board of Directors, thank you so much for making our 2003 Cooperative Energy Forum a success. Your heart-felt story and entertaining presentation were very well received and motivating. The flag presentation at the end of your speech was very inspirational. Makes one put things into perspective and realize that we can make a difference ? no matter how small or how great the problem."

Laurie Larsen, Executive Division GREAT RIVER ENERGY

If You Can’t Stand Up, Stand Out!

Mike’s favorite presentation builds a strong case for getting started and taking personal responsibility for successes and failures. Mike’s example and entertaining style will challenge his audience to relish adversity as an opportunity to change. People will learn to love themselves from the inside out and walk away with the realization that if Mike can do it, so can they. Mike uses his Olympic medals, a media presentation, and inspiring stories to teach his “Bulletproof Principles” for personal success.

Attitude Therapy

As a young boy, Mike was known as “Happy Schlappi”. His nickname and his ability to put life into proper perspective, is why so many have looked to Mike as a leading authority on attitude. Mike will inspire and motivate any audience with a heavy dose of his patented “Attitude Therapy”. His message includes humor and inspiration as he tells his improbable story – A story that began with a tragic shooting accident and evolved into a lifetime of lessons and victories. Although Mike’s body was paralyzed, his dreams were not.
