From Survival to Significance
Most organisations don’t have a survival problem. They’ve become very good at surviving.
Targets are met. Work gets done. The business keeps moving.
THE APATHY TAX
$10
The global economic cost associated with employee disengagement and lost productivity is measured in trillions.

People are flatter. Leaders are more cautious. Innovation gives way to execution. Good people start going through the motions.
The next level isn’t about asking people to do more.
It’s about giving them something worth doing more for.

In Search Of Significance
A high engagement, entertaining keynote. People seek purpose and impact in what they do and when they are made to feel more significant they perform much better and bring a better attitude and collaboration perspective to their work.
Significant Sales Mastery
Sales mastery is about framing the sale, using deep psychology and taking the prospect on a hand held journey from needs analysis through to product pitch, selling the action of buying and then the journey. Mike sells around $1M a year personally.
Play A Bigger Game
Successful organisations rarely get stuck because they lack ideas. They get stuck because yesterday's thinking created today's success. Mike challenges leaders to question what's become comfortable, make bolder decisions and unlock the next level of performance.
THE SIGNIFICANCE NARRATIVE
Why Mike Handcock sees what others often miss.
Mike Handcock has never believed that the biggest problems in business are simply business problems. Flat performance, disengagement and apathy are symptoms. The more interesting question is what is happening underneath them.
His perspective has been shaped far beyond the boardroom through decades as an entrepreneur, working with leaders around the world, studying different cultures, ancient wisdom, human behaviour, technology and science, and a lifelong involvement in music and creativity. It has taught him to look for connections where others often see separate problems.
That perspective has led Mike to a simple belief: people rarely become extraordinary because they're asked to perform better. They become extraordinary when they understand why what they do matters, have the freedom to contribute, and know their contribution is seen.
“The organisations that thrive won't simply have better strategy or technology. They'll give good people a reason to care again.”
TRUSTED BY LEADING ORGANISATIONS WORLDWIDE
“What Mike shares is a unique combination of worldview, psychology and mindset, coupled with business perspectives gathered from around the world. That’s why we’ve worked with him for more than ten years.”
