The Michelli Experience - So Much MORE than a Keynote!
The Michelli Experience is built on the belief that a keynote is “not an event, but a process.” To maximize the impact of the time Dr. Joseph Michelli shares on the keynote stage, he customizes the experience by offering the following:

  • Listens to key stakeholders
  • Builds a draft presentation based on the input he receives
  • Runs through his draft presentation to ensure no unwanted surprises
  • Makes needed adjustments to his presentation draft
  • Creates videos to promote your event or pique the interest of participants
  • Informs you know when he arrives on the property
  • Participates in audio/visual run-throughs
  • Designs useable tools for participants to use post-presentation
  • Follows-up to ensure the presentation had the desired impact

In short, Joseph will tailor his message to your audience, adapt to your needs, and ensure a successful, informative, inspiring, and memorable keynote, workshop, or training session.

Thank you for your time and the compelling message that you delivered to our leaders at Carolinas HealthCare System today.

We were also very impressed with how well you tailored the message to our culture while bringing in examples of other industries, and sharing your own personal story. Again, job well done. You exceeded our expectations!

Joseph shared his principles on the client service experience with our organization at our annual all-hands event and the audience was blown away. Joseph used simple concepts taken from our own consumer experiences and translated them into a message that applies to an organization like ours that supports commercial clients. Believe it or not, we had laughter, cheers—and even tears by the end of his very thoughtful and thought-provoking speech. Thank you Joseph for sharing the legacy of superior organizations with us—our associates will continue to integrate your message into daily practices by refining their own personal legacy statements.
