I am the author of Mindfulness, Mindset, Moxie, and Mojo , creator of Moxie The Purple Squirrel and the ideation guy behind her first book, founder of X-Factor HQ, Peak Employment Solutions LLC., Successorized, Inc., Tee It Up For Kids, and The 4M's. I am proud that my work creates positive and successful outcomes for people and organizations alike.

I have over 25 years’ experience in unlearning and redevelopment, human capital optimization, leadership, management, talent development, talent life cycle innovation, risk analysis and synergistic people processes for national and international organizations. I began my career as a sales representative for a small HR firm in Augusta, Georgia with no more than raw enthusiasm and the realization that I had better develop and rapidly display the skills, traits and talents demanded to make a difference or I would suffer the consequences in a world that rightly does not reward mediocrity.

I've been around long enough to remember when Human Resources was the Personnel Department and talent acquisition was considered a key component of future success, not a tactical paper-pushing procurement function led by those who treat an art the same as purchasing office products from the lowest bidder. (Let me know how that strategy works out in today’s talent scarce and competitive marketplace.)

I still believe in the power of the creative individual, hard work, dedication and the importance of building successful teams; one key player at a time. I am blessed to have trained and continue to influence many current and future leaders.

Your friend in the pursuit of excellence,

Mike
