Mike is a motivational speaker and the founding partner of The Spivey Consulting Group who has spoken at well over 150 universities, most recent with wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales and civil right's leader John Lewis. Mike has been featured in a number of major national media outlets, including including CNN, The New York Times, The Economist, the ABA Journal, The Chronicle of Higher Education, U.S. News & World Report, and many more. He did his doctoral work in goal setting. Most importantly, he is an incredibly ordinary guy who happens to aspire to spend at least a part of each day in some kind of extraordinary way. This is the genesis of The Spivey Blog β to take the very best of moments, thoughts, and experiences, and share them with others.
When not blogging or running a firm, Mike is working on two books, trail running in the mountains of Colorado at an intolerably early hour, or spending time with the many wonderful people who are a part of his life. He has attempted and failed at every form of yoga and experiences mild coulrophobia.
