http://www.MikeVeny.Com Mike Veny is a sought after keynote speaker and professional drummer. He delivers entertaining, engaging, and educational experiences to conferences and events throughout the world.

After filing for bankruptcy at age 25 and reading the book, The E-Myth Revisited by Michael Gerber, Mike made the decision (on the way to the bankruptcy court) to commit all of his efforts to being successful entrepreneur. His product idea stood out clearly in his mind – his drumming.

Pursuing a career in the arts or aspiring to be an entrepreneur doesn’t mean that you are going to be poor or have less job security than someone with regular job.

If you are looking for a proven professional who can offer a real world perspective on success as a self-employed artist, practical steps building powerful relationships, and connect with your audience, then you’ve come to the right place. What sets Mike apart from other presenters is that he takes the time to listen and understand your vision, goals, and objectives before he determines if he is the right fit for you. If he is the right fit for you, then he will create a plan to take your event to the next level.

During his workshops and keynotes, Mike encourages attendees to:
* View marketing, relationship building, and selling on a foundation of trust.
* Develop a simple plan to gain clarity.
* Create automated systems for managing relationships.
* Learn effective sales skills that can be applied to any aspect of life.

Satisfied clients rave about the powerful impact Mike has had on audiences. He inspires attendees to leave his presentations inspired with new ideas and simple action steps that they can apply immediately.

Here’s what some meeting planners have had to say about Mike:

Katie Sowa, Collegiate Entrepreneurs Organization – “Mike is an outstanding entrepreneur, speaker, and artist, who is able to communicate novel insights and life experiences on an innovative and engaging level. Mike would be an ideal addition to any conference, event, or meeting at which you are hoping to leave the audience motivated and inspired.”

Amy Rogers, Self-Employment in the Arts – “Not only was Mike’s presentation excellent but he was also a delight to work with. Over the last ten years, I have had the opportunity to work with many presenters and I would highly recommend Mike Veny to anyone looking for a quality individual and speaker to be part of an event. We plan to continue to build our relationship with Mike and utilize his skills for future programs. I was impressed with his genuineness, ability to understand and engage our audience, enthusiasm, knowledge on a variety of subjects, and his willingness to visit and interact with attendees outside of his scheduled presentation slots..”

In addition, here’s what some attendees have had to say about Mike:

Conference Attendee – “ I Love Mike Veny! He is wonderful and engaging and funny. He is great at explaining networking and relationships. He should be here every year. I love his energy and his drum circle. He inspires me!!!!”

Conference Attendee – “I learned how to establish meaningful connections with potential employers/clients.”

You can feel confident in choosing Mike to address your audience about arts entrepreneurship subjects. As a professional speaker in the National Speakers Association (NSA), a member of the Global Speakers Federation (GSF), Meeting Professionals International (MPI) and Toastmasters International, he’s presented in front of audiences consisting of youth, parents, adults, and professionals. His perspectives have been featured on the Pitch Jam blog and he presented at the 2014 Haiti Entrepreneurship Camp.

#1 Diversity & Inclusion Speaker – 2020 (Actionable!)

Today you’re going to learn EXACTLY where I think we need to start when addressing diversity and inclusion efforts.

In fact, in this video, I’m going to share with you exactly why I think emotional wellness is at the core of diversity and inclusion.

With that, here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:

As a motivational speaker that has struggled with mental health challenges throughout my life, I am often brought in as a corporate speaker to address mental health for organizations. This makes sense because mental health is a topic that is finally starting to enter the conversation which is necessary to transform the stigma around it.

But I believe there’s another aspect to it. I believe that mental health and emotional wellness is at the core of diversity and inclusion. This is what I speak about as a diversity and inclusion speaker. D&I is all about working together and that’s something you cannot do if you are not emotionally well first.

There are three main areas where emotional wellness impacts the way that we do business with others:

The way we coach others
The way we delegate
How effectively we are able to communicate

I address each of these areas briefly in the video and cover them in detail during presentations that I deliver as a diversity and inclusion keynote speaker. I believe that they are critical factors to consider when addressing D&I within organizations. I don’t believe that we can properly address the importance of inclusion without also addressing our emotional wellness.

In short, this video will show you why emotional wellness should be at the core of your company’s diversity and inclusion efforts in 2019.

Awkward Conversations in Mental Health

Today you’re going to learn EXACTLY how to talk about mental health.

In fact, in this video, I’m going to explain why it’s OK to have awkward conversations and just how to do it.

With that, here’s a quick overview of what’s in the video:

If you talk about mental health it’s going to feel awkward. Sorry, not sorry. Talking about mental health leads to awkward conversations. That doesn’t mean it’s bad and it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t talk about it. In fact, the more awkward a mental health conversation is, the more effective it is. And, that’s what we need for mental health awareness and to help with things like suicide prevention.

But, I get that as people, we don’t like to feel uncomfortable. We worry about the awkward. But, it’s time to embrace it and get a little awkward. And, in this video I give pointers on how to talk about mental health. Here are some things that you will learn:

Mental health conversation starters that you can use in your everyday life
Why you need to learn how to shut up and listen
Why mental health conversation questions need to be open-ended
What things you should AVOID saying

When you follow the tips that are provided in this video, not only will you become more comfortable talking about mental health in general, but you’ll know how to check up on the loved ones in your life and let them know that you care.

Remember, it’s not just you. Mental health conversations are awkward. Embrace it and go for it!

In short, this video will show you actionable ways to start having more conversations about mental health in 2019.
