Mike Schlappi

Biography

Lying on a bed paralyzed, with a bullet hole in his chest, Mike promised that if he survived, he would share his unique story all over the world and help as many people as he could. This is happening!

Mike knows that the most important part of any meeting or organization is the people. Whether speaking to a global financial corporation or a community medical facility, he has seen their results change when the beliefs of their people change. He inspires real people, with real problems, to respond differently; teaching that attitude is not a mood, but a position we take regardless of circumstances. That is his specialty!

Obviously Mike has had a few challenges in his life. But he also has a few Olympic gold medals, a few college degrees, has written a few books, runs a few successful businesses, has a few passions and has a few kids (five to be exact). This is all possible because he "walks the talk" (or rolls the scroll).

A sincere thank you for motivating and challenging our students! The 2,500 freshman, along with their parents, our faculty and community guests were held captive by your inspiring and thought-provoking message.

Southwest Missouri State

You absolutely held them captive for your hour-long presentation. This in itself is a compliment, because they won't sit for an hour for anything! Your message was inspirational and truly moving.

Regional Medical Center of San Jose

Your heartfelt story and presentation were well-received and motivating. The flag presentation was very inspirational. Makes one put things into perspective and realize that we can make a difference no matter how small or great the problem.

GREAT RIVER ENERGY

Mike Schlappi was the most inspirational speaker we have had to date. His ability to weave his motivational story with a message of hope and accountability was a rewarding experience for all involved.

Boy Scouts of America, San Gabriel Valley Council

Selecting you as the commencement speaker was quite simply the best decision I have ever made concerning our commencement. To say that your talk was a home run would be an understatement.

West Virginia University

During the time Mike spoke to my students, you literally could have heard a pin drop in the gym. Students were so interested and listened so intently to what he had to say. He truly changed the lives of many people day.
