Hi, I’m Mike Thompson. As a communication strategist, MBA leadership lecturer, and writer, I help smart and thoughtful people to break through the noise to ensure their voice is heard and their words are read.
Whether it’s assisting clients in writing thought leadership articles to grow their influence, serving as “book doctor” for experts in their field, or helping people verbally communicate with more clarity and confidence — my obsession is words.
By following this space, you can expect actionable career, communication, and writing advice along with inspiring human experience stories read by millions of people a year. The topics may change, but the goal remains the same: to share the best of what I’ve got so you can make your words better count and your work stand out.
If interested in staying in the loop, sign-up for my lightweight newsletter while receiving a free eBook that houses 12 of my best writing and storytelling tips. Some people have told me it’s pretty good. And for a once shy kid who was scared to share his message due to a severe stutter, I consider that a win.
Being simple, kind, and right is a hard thing to maintain. Michael lives, writes, and works all three. I straight-up love this guy.
Michael is by far and away one of the best writers, life advisors, and all-around coaches I've met during my thirty-year career. In addition to helping my writing improve to the point where I've gained literary representation, I’ve seen him countless times serve as a catalyst to help people reach their greatest potential.
As a career pro in recognizing great talent, it dawned on me when getting to know Michael I'd just stumbled upon someone uniquely gifted - a writer's writer - someone who sees the stories in others and has a gift for coaxing their stories into existence. He's helped my storytelling to take shape and his insistence upon simplicity and distilling the broad and complex reminds me of my Apple days.
