MIKE SARGE
CALLED
TO LEAD
I’ve spent over a decade leading teams in high-pressure environments and now use storytelling, strategy, and a little charisma to help others do the same. I’m not here to preach; I’m here to connect.
More than a speaker.
The truth is—most people don't need more information; They need inspiration. They need connection. They need someone to light a fire they didn’t even realize was fading.
That’s the work I’m proud to be a part of - Helping leaders, teams, and individuals stop playing small—and start moving with clarity, confidence, and conviction.
Because leadership isn't just about goals, titles, or strategies. It's about showing up fully. It's about being willing to build when others hesitate. It's about creating impact that outlives your role.
If your organization, team, or next event needs a speaker who brings real energy, authentic connection, and a spark that stays long after the applause fades—
Let’s connect. It would be an honor to serve your mission.
