Corporate and Organizational Speaking

Keynotes, workshops, and leadership experiences for teams, events, and company culture.

Mike Brown helps teams and leaders reconnect with what’s already inside them: their story, their presence, their purpose. Then he challenges them to use it to create real impact.

As the first Black student to serve as the Notre Dame Leprechaun, Mike understands what it means to lead visibly and embody authentic leadership from within.

He helps people speak to their gifts and lead in ways that are both personal and practical. When people lead from within, they perform better, lift others, shape culture, and create what Mike calls a Return on Impact: the ripple that comes from leading with purpose, gratitude, and courage.

Signature Keynote #1: Stir Up the Gift

How Leading with Purpose, Gratitude, and Courage from Within Creates a Return on Impact

This is Mike’s core message. It’s about helping people recognize their worth, speak to their gifts, and lead from within.

Mike shares powerful stories and lessons on purpose, presence, and impact. He draws on his own journey, from being a struggling student to becoming the first Black Notre Dame Leprechaun to leading a purpose-driven company rooted in story, service, and soul.

Why It Matters Now:
Your people are doing a lot, but many of them are running on empty. This talk helps them reset, reconnect with who they are, and re-engage with the work in a more meaningful way.

How Reflection and Recommitment Unlock a Deeper Return on Impact

It’s a powerful blend of recognition and motivation that helps your people move forward with purpose, gratitude, and courage.

• Clarity about the kind of leader they want to be
• Renewed commitment to lead with impact
