Mike is an avid fan of polar expedition history and is an endurance athlete. In 2006, Mike became one of 9 people to run the first ever Antarctic Ice Marathon and a year later became the first American to run the Antarctic 100k, a grueling 62 miles on an ice shelf 600 miles from the South Pole
His flagship program, Leading at 90 Below Zero, connects the drivers and principles of Antarctic expedition history stories to the real world of finding, engaging and keeping great people in today’s business world.

Antarctic Mike’s program, The Penguin Principles, will once again travel to Antarctica to understand how to build and maintain the strongest and best performing team(s) within your organization. You will walk away from this program with specific action items that you can take back to your place of business and put into play immediately.
The Emperor Penguins are the only creatures that can survive in the harsh climate of Antarctica. Even through they’re swimmers, they spend most of their life on land marching, and not alone. Their success and survival depends on teamwork, sacrifice, sharing of difficult responsibilities and a number of other factors that are easy to understand and hard to execute when in the midst of a winter storm. So too, our teams that we work with each day are subject to a number of factors consistently that make working together easy to understand and hard to do consistently, especially when the conditions are much less than ideal. Here are some examples of what you will learn in Mike’s program that you can take away and implement in your organization immediately:
- Building a stronger bond of trust among individuals, departments and customers
- Redefining and reengaging true sacrifice, understanding why it will get you what you want
- Increasing your people’s ability to respond to change and create change that is necessary
- Developing your team member’s ability to stay focused on the task at hand
- Mastering your team’s ability to respond to change that comes upon us and create change needed for breakthroughs
