“Mike Pitcher’s Seven eLements is one of the best leadership books I have ever read, and I have read many. I told Mike I was going to write the shortest leadership book ever released. The content of my book would be READ MIKE PITCHER’S BOOK.”

“The best thing I can say about Mike Pitcher’s presentation is that it is actionable. People do things differently after seeing Mike speak about the Seven eLements. Isn’t that why you bring in a speaker?”
Brian Barber

"Mike delivered the Keynote at our Business Expo and Luncheon in front of 400 business owners and professionals. His 7 Elements of Leadership enlightened and energized the crowd. This was the day after the Presidential election, and Mike was delivering his message to a mostly Hispanic crowd. Yet, Mike managed to provide inspiration and motivation to all the participants, despite their political affiliations, proving that his message resonates with authenticity and purpose. Mike, was our featured speaker at our, Leadership Conference at the Global Headquarters at UPS, speaking to a group comprised of mostly Hispanic Professionals and Entrepreneurs."

"Mike brought his special blend of motivation, insight, humor, and storytelling to the women at ProWIN (Professional Women’s Information Network). Truly one of the best speakers we’ve had for our luncheon speaker series. We’re not a pushover crowd, so when I say he wow’d the audience, believe me, he did. The entire audience enjoyed absorbing Mike’s leadership eLements as he weaved stories into his presentation with such engaging style and charisma. I had read Mike’s book prior to his presentation, and watching him tell the Dad story was the icing on top. That one hit a home run with our group. I heard more than a few sniffles in the room. Bravo!"
Anita R. Henderson

"Mike captured the hearts and minds of our global sales force through an authentic, humorous delivery of his seven elements of leadership. Part of what made his delivery so effective was the use of personal stories which illustrated how leadership had played out in his life over the course of his career. Mike created a lasting impression with everyone in that room – who walked away with a desire to inspire others in their lives."

“Mike, Thank you so much for your presentation to The Brain Trust on Leadership. As a group of CEO’s we’re a hard bunch to please, however I’m delighted to say that your presentation was in the top two presentations we’ve received in 252 meetings over 21 years. The value was priceless as we endeavor to take our skills to the next level. And you showed us how executing on your brand of leadership will also have a large, positive impact on our respective company cultures.”
Tom Cramer
"Mike delivered the Keynote at our Global Sales Conference and set the tone for the week. His 7 eLements of Leadership provided something for everyone, both professionally and personally. Mike’s energy, passion and commitment comes through in every word and had our audience engaged from the minute he stepped on the stage. A year later, our sales team still references Mike and his lessons."
Bernie Kavanagh
WEX Inc.
"Ever since we had Mike speak at our conference, I have been inundated with accolades for his presentations. Not only is he one of the most down to earth CEO’s I’ve ever met, but his presentations resonated with our audience in a visceral way. They were truly captivated by what he had to say, and walked away ready to make positive change in their organizations – and most importantly – in themselves. And it’s no wonder, really. He has a profoundly understandable and effective leadership philosophy that he shares openly, and freely with everyone. As a man of great accomplishment, he knows it’s time to “send the elevator back down” and bring up those around him. If you have Mike at your next conference, you will not be disappointed. You will be incredibly lucky to have him."
ALison Cody
