About Mike Armstrong

Measurable and robust ROI! As to ROI, are your trainers and consultants willing to be measured and take ownership of the results? If not, why? My decade long ROI was statistically measured by third parties and unbiased sources. So, when will orgs demand ROI from their external consultants and trainers(vs proverbial flavor of the month/year rotations?) How many trainers, change agents and performance consultants can demonstrate serial years of exemplary ROI as measured by third parties? Have walked in the shoes of those they are training and coaching as I was a serial presidents club winner in field based sales, training, and sales management? I love to inspire others to become master\'s level performers as having tremendous technical skills are crucial yet combining elite communication and emotional intelligence competencies with technical skills will allow one to motivate, coach and lead. Also, I have been a serial presidents club winner and feel strongly that one can lead, teach and motivate as I have \"walked in your shoes\"​. CREDIBILITY is everything! I have trained hundreds of MD\'s, nurses, sales leaders, field managers, senior managers and C level executives in a variety of professional development programs and brought relevance and measurable ROI in these areas of development. Further, I have been an architect of successful change management in terms of building and delivering performance based initiatives designed via \"deep dive\" needs assessments.
