Mike Rayburn’s “What IF? Keynote Experience” is a high-energy odyssey of message and entertainment designed to set the tone for success for your event.
A two-time TED Presenter and international Hall of Fame speaker, Rayburn uses world class guitar skills and hilarious, clean, music-based comedy to teach your teams the three tools which took him from playing for seven people in a bar in Virginia … to Carnegie Hall.
Eight times.
OUTCOMES
“The What IF Keynote Experience will ignite your teams to…
- Create change, rather than manage change
- Think in terms of possibilities, not scarcity
- Discover the opportunities they’re currently missing
- See all their success as a launching pad for what’s next
- Harness their uniqueness as their competitive edge
- Shape what’s next for the greatest possible good
- Act from their sense of purpose in all they do
- Attract success, rather than pursue it
Rayburn’s message is spot on for creating abundance and profitability.
Content is critical. However, content doesn’t change people; what changes people is the experience, and that is Rayburn’s true expertise.
Rayburn surprises a lucky attendee in every audience with a guitar. (But, shh … it’s a surprise!)
Mike’s ‘‘What IF?” mantra becomes like a great song hook that plays over and over. You’ll hear it repeated throughout the conference and beyond. That’s the sound of the message taking hold … and this song hook can change your business and your life.
There is no one who does what Rayburn does.
