About
Mike Rayburn is a three-time Carnegie Hall headliner, Las Vegas headliner, a member of the Speakers Hall of Fame, and the Speakers Roundtable. In his award-winning keynote, “What If…?” Mike uses amazing guitar and hilarious comedy (instead of PowerPoint!), to teach the three tools that took him from playing for seven people in a bar in Virginia to Carnegie Hall. They work for anyone, in any career, always. Mike gladly tailors his message to your needs and the theme of your conference. This is how you get to YOUR Carnegie Hall!
As an innovative business owner, Mike has been featured in Newsweek, USA Today, Billboard, Gig, and Successful Meetings magazines. He has also headlined in Las Vegas, and currently performs 90-100 programs every year for corporations, associations, churches, and college “Family Weekends.” Mike’s message is universal, and he will tailor it for your organization.
Why Book Rayburn?
· Lead by example. So, you want your team to be innovative, creative, possibility thinkers, yet you’re going to book the same old speaker with the same old style and tools? Why not lead by example? Mike Rayburn’s presentation style is bold, innovative and extremely effective.
· Mike’s message works. Results matter. Ask any of Mike’s clients and they’ll boast of sales increases, new initiatives, increased morale, and improved performance following Mike’s presentation. Beyond Mike’s raw energy and entertainment, the tools your team learns will generate strong results.
· Retention: “What if…?” Every major invention in history began with a “What if?” question. Why isn’t your team asking it constantly? Watch what happens following Mike’s keynote… your attendees will be asking “What If?” over and over. It’ll go viral, as will the benefits.
· Proof. For the skeptics, Mike literally proves his message before your eyes and ears. Few speakers can do that.
· Raw talent. Mike is hilarious and musically amazing. Only a handful of guitarists in the world can pull off all of “Bohemian Rhapsody” on one guitar. While Mike’s content is transformational, the entertainment value alone is worth it.
· Track record. Mike doesn’t have a bad day on stage. He’s got 15 years and more than a thousand clients, including more than 20% of the Fortune 500, 100 and 50 companies – including Wells Fargo, Hilton, Walmart, Sony, MetLife, Sotheby’s, Verizon who rave about Mike and book multiple presentations. As fresh as he is Mike is a safe bet for your event.
· Mike’s done it. Mike doesn’t teach what he thinks works, he teaches what he knows from experience. Headlining Carnegie Hall, two TED Talks, entrepreneurial success as a small business owner, selling half a million records on his own independent label… these are world class business and artistic accomplishments. Mike has and knows what it takes.
· It’s about the “experience.” Content doesn’t change people; it’s the experience that changes people. Mike is a master in creating an experience so that the content takes hold.
Bonus: Mike always delivers. You want to start, end or energize your event on the highest note and the grandest scale possible, delivering transformational content. Mike Rayburn is the answer.

WHAT IF…
The “What If…?” Experience is Mike’s transformational, hilarious keynote presentation. In it Mike uses his amazing guitar work and hilarious comedy as a metaphor, to illustrate three tools designed to turn your team into an army of innovators with the peak performance skills to transcend the status quo to stop managing change, and lead by creating change. Oh… and they’ll laugh so hard it hurts!
Every major invention, accomplishment and victory in human history began with the simple, almost childlike curiosity of a “What If…?” question. So, why isn’t your team asking this daily? And what if they were? After Mike’s presentation your team will look at problems and impossibilities and instead of turning away, they’ll instead ask, “What if we could? I know we can’t, but what if WE could?” They will set inspirational goals, perform like virtuosos, and achieve transformational results because of it.
Your Audience Will Learn:
- Three simple, powerful, tools you can use immediately and forever to access your gold mine of unrealized potential; the tools which took Mike from playing bars to Carnegie Hall.
- That managing change is not only stupid, it’s dangerous; you’ll learn how to stop managing change and start creating change; how to define the curve rather than follow it.
- The most powerful motivational force on this planet. (Hint… it is not power, sex, money, or fame).

WHAT NOW?
Has the bottom dropped out of your business or perhaps even your industry? Are your people running a little scared? Or waiting for the business to come back, hoping things will get better? Some organizations are dealing with these issues from a place of scarcity and fear, rather than abundance and opportunity.
There’s good news…
There is a cure!
The cure for anxiety, worry and fear is… action.
Specifically, we must do the following…
- Adopt the necessary mindsets for the new world, and not just the obvious “take responsibility, walk your talk, work ethic, integrity, etc.” You will need more.
- Know the changes coming and position your organization to benefit from those changes.
- Take intentional action based on a bold goal or a new direction, with a solid plan and predictable outcomes.
WHAT NOW??? In his new and virtually tested keynote, Mike Rayburn gives your leaders and teams the mindset to look at the landscape that everyone else sees, but find the opportunities that they’re all missing – the tools to create change instead of managing it – and the inspiration to step out boldly – to take action.
Imagine your teams determined and equipped to succeed anyway, whatever the obstacle! It is time to harness the untapped brilliance of your people and fuel it with the power of your mission and purpose… to become unstoppable!
Together we will answer the question “What NOW?” and position your organization for success in the new world.
Rayburn can present for you:
- Live and virtually
- In a customized, pre-recorded keynote
- Live and in-person (Mike will travel to you)
