Mike Stevenson is one of the UK’s most sought after speakers and creative thinkers. His record of inspiring organisations and individuals to raise their vision and performance is remarkable. From British Gas and the National Trust to the Scottish Parliament and the NHS, people respond to Mike’s edginess and humour. He is a truly compelling and original speaker, who leads his audiences on an exhilarating journey of discovery. He lifts people out of their day-to-day thinking, he challenges them and he inspires them to see and realise new possibilities.

After being kicked out of school at 15 years old, Mike’s life took some wildly varied turns. He slept on the streets of London and busked in Dublin, laid bricks, fitted carpets, sold linoleum, furniture and suits, corked French wine. He was steelworker, a biscuit packer, a youth worker and community worker. He’s played guitar and performed on stage and in films – and all this before he entered the world of communications.
