Mike Hourigan Biography
Mike Hourigan Speaking Topics
Success is a moving target, so change is inevitable. Organizations and their employees must adapt and change to survive and thrive. It is possible. Mike Hourigan brings his real-world expertise to the topic of Change Management to help you and your organization find ways to weather a changing workplace and even flourish!
After Mike’s presentation, you will be better able to recognize, predict and plan for change. Managers will have the tools they need to motivate teams, and stay motivated themselves, rather than dread new initiatives.
Here are only a few of the many takeaways you can expect:
Uncover the Five Truths about change
Gain insight into what people fear most about change
Learn how to keep your best people during change
Find out how to become “change resilient” personally and professionally
Reduce change-generated conflict between coworkers and teams
Discover where to find support during change – it might surprise you!
How often have you said: “Why did that employee go ballistic?” Or “Why do I have to work with a jerk?” Whether you like it or not, you have to find a way to communicate with people. Mike Hourigan’s high energy, fast-paced session brings understanding to some of the most difficult communications problems like handling the back stabber, the gossip, or the difficult boss. Mike’s satirical and real world look at interpersonal communications weaves you through this mine field and provides easy to use solutions. In many cases, poor communication skills waste a lot of time. You will learn how to get off the phone quicker, how to get out of meetings faster, and how to get the “ploppers” out of your office in record time. Have you ever made someone mad but didn’t mean to? You will learn how to prevent this. You will even learn how to say “no” to people without hurting their feelings. If you hire people, work with people, or know any people, this is the program for you!
Everyone has done it and most people don’t like to admit it: made a bad hiring decision. The consequences of a bad hiring decision can range from hysterical to legal. When it comes to recruiting and interviewing, most people are a little skittish. When it comes to employee retention, most people are a little baffled. Mike Hourigan’s colorful and astute perspectives will help you decide whom to hire, how and where to find them, how to screen them, and how to keep them once you’ve got them. Participants will understand the importance of asking the right interview questions and how to develop these questions; learn how to improve the quality of interview candidates through more innovative recruiting and learn motivational techniques to allow them to keep good employees.
Simply giving out team hats and shirts does not make a team gel – but having the right management and communication skills do. All too often people think throwing a bunch of people together and calling them a team will get better results. Usually what happens is the dedicated, hard workers end up doing more work and the slackers get to do less. Mike Hourigan’s program will look at the real issues of developing a winning team. Issues addressed include: what to do with people who do not want to be team players; finding individual strengths and maximizing them for best results; understanding why it seems impossible to get along with certain people and how to communicate with them; how to deal with the “know it all, back stabbers”; and dealing with another time waster – meetings. You will learn problem-solving methods to optimize team effectiveness and get the tools you need to achieve superior results with your teams.
Is Leadership an Art or is it a Science? Business school professors will say it is a science, seasoned leaders will argue it is an art. No matter which side of the argument you are on – most people will concede it is a little of both. Mike Hourigan’s program looks at some the issues in between: what gets people promoted and what employees want. Mike Hourigan discusses some of the gray areas of management such as how to motivate people without spending money, the difference between coaching and managing, and how to praise someone to get repeated behavior and not feel like a wimp. He will also address how to stop people from plopping at your desk, how to understand the 3d’s of employee perception, and how to get people to do the job because they want to do it. You will leave with management tools you can implement immediately.

Your keynote address started the conference on a positive note. We all appreciated the way you customized the program to benefit the 1,400 healthcare materials managers. Your sense of humor added a special touch. We have heard nothing but great comments on what an excellent job our keynote speaker did. We sure picked a winner!

I could not be happier as to how everything turned out. I really appreciate Mike for contacting some of our folks ahead of time to get a sense of our business in preparation to speak to our entire team. Speaking to 40 individuals from 35 different countries and having everyone engaged is no easy task. The reviews from everyone afterwards were that Mike was on his game and really touched on so much of what we do in our role as managers.

The Women in Agribusiness Summit attendees rated Mike Hourigan as one of the top speakers at our Fall conference. Mike's Negotiation Skills presentation contributed real-world business advice that the members could put into practice, and the audience enjoyed his down-to-earth, ego-free, humorous delivery. Working with Mike on the speaking engagement details was easy, and our post-event survey shows that the Women in Agribusiness want him to return in the future
Agribusiness - Oct 24 2022 -
In just one morning, speaker Mike Hourigan packs as much punch as you’d get in a week-long seminar with other national speakers. Mike was engaging, disarming, instructive, stimulating, realistic, convincing, and humorous. The Chamber Business Summit was a big success because of Mike’s content and delivery.
