Presentation Topics
I will customize my presentation to meet your organization’s specific needs. My goal is the to facilitate the outcome you are trying to create. My current presentations include:
- Leadership 2.0: Our interaction with the Web and the expectations it creates have forever changed what we expect from our leaders. To be effective in this environment, leaders must adjust their style and learn new tools. In this presentation, I discuss seven changes leaders must make to be effective in a post-modern world.
- Social Media 101: Blogs, Facebook, and Twitter are all the rage. But are they really useful or merely a distraction, especially to busy leaders? In this presentation, I outline the facts, debunk the myths, and discuss how to use social media to build your brand, decrease your marketing costs, and increase your sales.
- Working Smart: With all the demands on your time—work, family, friends, and your own health—how do you get it all done? How do you keep your life in balance? In this presentation, I show you how to shave ten hours off your work week. I also provide seven practical strategies for working smarter, not harder.
- What American Christians Can Learn from the Poor: The fourth century bishop John Chrysostom once said, “The rich exist for the sake of the poor. The poor exist for the salvation of the rich.” In this presentation, I share how my view of the world, the Gospel, and my own story shifted in my encounters with believers in Africa living in abject poverty.

Selected Endorsements
Believe me, I have heard many CEOs address an audience. I have only seen one, however, with the unique ability to combine humor and content, then deliver it with credibility and a humble attitude. Michael Hyatt is the very best.”
—Andy Andrews
New York Times Bestselling Author
and International Speaker
Younger crowds in their twenties and thirties are inundated with messages and entertainment, making them a hard crowd to please. Mike’s Keynote at the 2009 Gathering cut through the clutter and beautifully illustrated the power of a strong storyteller. It was the kind of speech audiences hope for but rarely get.”
—Ted Dekker
New York Times Bestselling Author
and Sponsor of “The Gathering”
Vanderbilt University loves Michael Hyatt. He is the top-rated speaker in both our Executive and MBA programs. He is a CEO ‘who walks his talk.’ He can both do and teach—a powerful leadership combination. His talks overflow with compelling leadership stories and lessons. And his delivery is superb.

Michael Hyatt hit a home run at Lipscomb University. He wowed us with his unique insights into the future of the digital universe, he connected with all ages and all levels, and he entertained us with his humor and self-effacing style. Nice work, Michael! When can you come back?”
—Turney Stevens, Dean
The College of Business
Lipscomb UniversityMichael Hyatt is unique in the world of speakers. As CEO of a major corporation, he obviously commands attention in the boardroom. Amazingly though, he also understands what it takes to reach an audience of people who are not in his employ. His attention to detail and keenly honed sense of humor make Michael one of the most riveting—and relevant—speakers in the world.”
—Robert D. Smith
President
First Image, Inc.When we invite outside speakers to our conferences, we feel fortunate if they get to first base. Michael Hyatt hits home runs. At a debriefing for our ‘Professional Speakers marketing Summit’ it was the consensus of our staff that the hundreds of students who attended in previous years were cheated because they missed Michael Hyatt’s presentation. He is a consummate professional and we will use him again.”
Ken Davis
President
Dynamic Communicators Workshops
Author, Entertainer, TrainerMichael Hyatt spoke at two of our events and was extremely well received at both. In fact, he was the top rated speaker among a field of other professional speakers. He always delivers a thoughtful, well prepared, high-content, professionally executed presentation. He has a brilliant business mind and a comfortable, engaging delivery. If he were available, I would use Mike at every one of our events!”
—Mark Kuyper
President and CEO
Evangelical Christian Publishers AssociationMichael Hyatt is book publishing’s most innovative and experimental CEO. He continues to bring efficiencies to Thomas Nelson in a manner unthinkable to his peers.
