Mike's talks are rigorously researched to provide intellectual honesty, deep insights, and practical application. Mike is not a 'motivational speaker' but motivation and inspiration are a by-product of the intellectual respect he pays his audiences.
"This was a highlight & will be talked about for a while."
Delegate, Trend Controls Commercial Kick-off Conference
"The audience found that Mike’s introduction to such a complex subject was both witty and interactive and enabled the audience to leave with some very helpful tips and an insight into what can be achieved with further training."
Martyn Morgan, Partner & Conference Organiser, Quality Solicitors Talbots
"Mike Clayton's presentation to the Top Achievers seminar on "Effective Leadership" was excellent. This was interspersed with humour which made the presentation more engaging. He fully met the requirements of my brief, and I have no hesitation in strongly recommending him for talks, workshops or seminars."
Peter F. Haddon, Managing Director, Top Achievers Limited

For many people, good time management is already a habit.
If your audience contains some of them, then they need to go a step further.
Yes/No is about more than time management. It is about choice: the choice that makes all the difference to productivity, happiness, and success. Let Mike Clayton, an acknowledged expert on personal effectiveness, share five secrets that will change your habits for ever.
What can your project managers learn from NASA?
In the 1990s, NASA launched a programme of missions under the banner 'Faster-Better-Cheaper'. Mike will show how NASA was both doomed to fail (why project management theory says 'faster, better, cheaper' is impossible), yet found a way to triumph. More important, he'll explain the powerful insight that can allow you to achieve 'faster, better, cheaper' and really get more for less.
Being smart, savvy and knowledgeable is one thing; but what next?
Being smart, savvy and knowledgeable in the early stages of your career is one thing. Being wise; an accomplished expert and someone who is widely regarded as having created something of substance and value, is what you really want.
Smart to Wise sets out Mike's 'Seven Pillars of True Success' that you must master, if you want to move from being seen as merely smart to being authoritative and trusted. In mastering the seven pillars, people will regard you as someone whose judgement they can trust, and to whom they will look for advice, guidance and involvement in key decisions and initiatives.
Stakeholder engagement is a strategic imperative.
And if it is not a strategic imperative in your organisation, Mike will tell you why it should be, and how to push it up your agenda
Stakeholders matter - they hold all of the aces. And if you don't believe this, ask Shell, Esso, Government, or anyone who has had a strong case for their decisions, yet failed to make them work. This is not a how-to seminar: it is a why to keynote with some practical advice, to get senior executives thinking about how to make your projects deliver more reliably, more frequently, and more.
If you have resided over half-successful (or even failed) change initiatives and project implementations, you will want to hear this talk.
Coming soon... Exciting new keynote based on what is sure to be a best-selling book
