Mike Hourigan, CSP, brings a satirical, real-world wisdom to corporate and association audiences
swirling with constant change. While leading them through organizational rapids, he entertains

companies.

An energetic keynoter known as “the workplace commentator,” Mike communicates what today’s
organizations need to hear to keep afloat. He provides easy-to-use solutions from his well-rounded

from the platform. Mike is a Certified Speaking Professional (CSP), the highest earned
accreditation given by the National Speakers Association.
