Endorsements

Believe me, I have heard many CEO’s 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.”

Michael 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.”

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. I highly recommend him.”

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.”

Michael 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!”
