"Mike's life is a great accomplishment in an All-American way... He is an inspiration to people everywhere who want to succeed."

"To offer a simple recommendation for Mike Schlappi is an understatement. Mike's genuine, honest and professional approach is head and shoulders above many of the speakers that I've heard. Motivational speakers can sometimes be one dimensional in terms of their content and delivery. Mike's 'shoot for the stars' message appeals to a multitude of issues that face an organization.”
Christopher S. Carlton, President
Dräger Medical, Inc.

"In my 20 years of coordinating meetings, I am hard pressed to identify a speaker that I have worked with that is as cooperative and effective.

"I think we've all heard motivational speakers before, but your message was so personal that we could all feel the power you generated. It's easy to see why you received a standing ovation and such enthusiastic applause at the conclusion of your message. It all had to do with your unconquerable spirit and attitude. Your challenges left all of us with a desire to do more."
Ray Rivers, Vice President
E'OLA International
