Mike literally AMAZED everyone with his talent, and then he AWED everyone with the message. We have been providing our employees with this type of retreat for 25 years, and beyond a shadow of a doubt, Mike Rayburn provided us with the most universally appealing and entertaining program we have ever had. Further, we would recommend Mike for any company’s retreat, motivational seminar, or leadership program where an inspirational speaker/presenter is needed. Mike is the best.

Mike was WAY BEYOND a huge hit, if that’s possible. Our guests are still talking about how much they enjoyed that evening.

We had Mike Rayburn present his “What if?” keynote for our Fall ITA Collaborative. Mike was engaging, entertaining and had a great message for all of us on how we need to not limit ourselves from becoming the “best we can be”. He’s an amazing musician who blends his musical talent and message into a really fun session. Our members loved it. He spent over an hour at our post-keynote cocktail hour signing his book and CDs for a lineup of our members who wanted to interact with him. I’d definitely recommend using Mike if you want an impactful keynote session.
Information Technology Alliance
This is the second time we've had you at one of our events and you are just fantastic. I didn't have any doubts that you would be excellent, but it's always extra nice as a meeting planner to know in advance you are hiring someone who will exceed your, and your attendees, expectations. I've received more exuberant comments about your presentation than any speaker in a long time. Our attendees loved it! It was a pleasure to work with you - hopefully we'll be able to do it again soon!
