Michael Griffiths is the #1 authority helping service professionals to fast track their business growth by transforming their referral systems, their client retention strategies and skyrocketing their client loyalty.

Michael shows service professionals his unique Limbic Advantage model and how they can use the power of neuroscience, brain chemicals, human hardwiring, and lots of other fun things, to Activate Extraordinary Moments throughout a business and create a stream of new clients, keep their current clients for longer and stand out above all their competitors.

From humble beginnings as a primary school teacher and basketball coach, Michael now travels the globe sharing his Limbic Advantage model and inspiring thousands of service professionals to become more extraordinary in the way they Attract, Nurture, Enrol and Deliver.

Michael’s motto is simple… Look to help others before asking for help

Michael is best described as the Referral Marketing Guru - he specialises in transforming business growth across every corner of the planet using his 9 profit accelerators in the Limbic Advantage.

With 2 bestselling books (and a 3rd on the way), the #1 referral marketing podcast on I-Tunes for the past 5 years and presentations delivered in over 20 countries, he is clearly sought after to provide advice and wisdom for the smallest of businesses to the largest of organisations.

Michael is able to share his observations, experiences and research from around the world to identify the exact steps any organisation needs to take to become more extraordinary.

He delivers his advice in a down to earth, simple and often hilarious way. Michael has been a entrepreneurial commentator for many years, sharing both his observations and his realisations with audiences in INC.com, Huffington Post, On NBCS, CBS, ABC, Newscorp and many others.

As a keynote presenter, Michael's authenticity is one of his greatest assets. He has the rare ability to hold a mirror up to people and show them exactly what's wrong and how to change it FAST, with unapologetic honesty and a quick wit.

Michael imparts wisdom generously, but with clear expectations – he doesn’t just want to leave a warm and fuzzy lasting impression on his audience, he wants to have a lasting impact on the way they choose to live, work and do business as a result of the information he shares and stories he tells.

Michael's advice is a combination of street smart wisdom, practical concepts and productive triggers, derived from the hard learned lessons with his own trial and error, as well as years of close observation and identification of the characteristics shared by both the really successful and the really unsuccessful.

Michael's journey started as a school teacher and elite level basketball coach. Two Olympic games, multiple national titles and countless state titles was a pretty good stint. But he knew there was more. In 2009 he left the teaching world and started his first business, a tutoring company. Fast forward a decade and Michael has created 7 businesses, selling 6 of them along the way.

Having transformed in so many ways... School teacher to a business owner with 180+ contractors on his team (twice).

Dropping 35kg's (75 pounds) in weight in 18 months. Running 77km (48 miles) in a weekend to raise $50,000 for the 'Make A Wish' Foundation, after never running 5km ever before in his life.

Michael knows what it takes to transform in every aspect of life and business and be remarkable!
