Meet Michael Kerr
AKA “The Workplace Energizer”
As a survivor of soul-sucking, fun-sucking workplaces, I made it my mission to inspire leaders, teams, and organizations to change how they work.
I’ve traveled the world for more than 20 years, researching, writing, and speaking about workplaces that rock.
I want to help you get the results you and your team deserve!
Inspiring Results
Michael Can Help You Achieve
Culture is Your #1
Competitive Advantage
Wonder what it takes to earn a reputation as an “awesome place to work” in your industry or community? Building an inspiring culture with intentional leadership will help you attract, retain, and engage employees.
Happier Employees,
Happier Workplaces
A mountain of research shows that happier employees achieve better results. And happier employees create happier customers. And besides, who doesn’t want to be happier just for the sake of being happier!?
Turn Ideas Into Action to
Become a Champion of Change
If the pace of change outside your organization exceeds the pace of change on the inside, you’ll soon be in serious trouble. You can ignore it, adapt to it, or become a champion of change. And to do this effectively, you need to embrace innovation by building the kind of culture that celebrates new ideas and turns them into action.
Communication at Work
is Everything
When it comes to communication, it’s not just what you say, but how you say it. If you’re tired of your employees working in isolated “silos”, you’re frustrated by soul-sucking meetings, or you long for a more collaborative team environment, then ramping up and investing in your communication is a game changer for your company!
STOP Providing Good
Customer Service!
Why? Because your customers already expect good customer service! To attract more customers and turn them into loyal, raving fans, you need to consistently exceed their expectations. You need to deliver service that is so memorable, SO different, that you will truly stand out from the herd.
Less Stress,
More Success!
You need resilient employees now more than ever. So, you need to be intentional about managing stress, building a more resilient culture, and putting humor to work for less stress and more success.

Why Clients Book Michael
Some clients bring me into their events simply because they want to celebrate a great year, cap off a busy season, or recognize their amazing employees. Other clients work with me because they’ve lost their mojo, they’re wrestling with unprecedented change, or they need help forging a stronger and more inspiring culture.
Why Choose Between Content and Humor?
For more than 20 years I’ve embraced the mantra: “Why choose between content and humor when you can have both?” In this short video, I share what I think my job as a professional speaker is and how I will work with you to exceed your expectations.
