Biography

Mike Rayburn is a TEDx Presenter who teaches innovation, change and peak performance using world-class guitar and humor to create a transformational experience and generate exponential results. He has headlined Carnegie Hall, Las Vegas, and performed more than 5,000 presentations in 20 countries on five continents. Rayburn is a music/internet pioneering entrepreneur, feature artist on Sirius/XM and Artist In Residence at High Point University.

Testimonials

Mike was a huge hit. I only wish we could have had him the last day of the meeting, instead of the first. Our executive said it was hard to follow an act like that.

– Walmart

His talent is only outdone by his charming nature. He was a delight to work with!

– Ford Motor Company

Mike Rayburn's incredible talent, humorous delivery, stage presence and ability to connect with the group kept us all engaged and entertained. I cannot remember the last time one of our speakers concluded to a thunderous standing ovation like Mike did. I continue to receive "thank you" calls from our attendees on Mike's behalf.

– Purina Mills

Mike’s program was amazing! He was a joy to work with, he made me look very good and I appreciate that! I cannot recommend him enough… FANTASTIC!”

– Lincoln Financial Group

Shortly after attending Mike's “What IF?” presentation I got inspired and put together a rather aggressive business strategy and a monthly goal that was quite large and I have never achieved it before. I shared that goal with a business associate and he said, “That's a huge goal. You may be setting yourself up for failure with such an aggressive goal." Without thinking for a moment I said what Mike says, "Ya, but WHAT IF I hit it?" Shortly after that conversation I realized that this month, my first month setting that goal...I am not only hitting it, but I've DOUBLED IT.

– Darla Johnson Pellersels, Prosperity Financial Associate

Rayburn was AMAZING!! Standing ovation, swarmed by the masses, lots of laughing, tears & goosebumps. His talent is beyond comparable to anything I’ve seen.

– Delta Vacations

We have worked with Mike Rayburn on two separate occasions – and both times Mike delivered! We always look for speakers who motivate and inspire, and Mike’s message of “What If” was spot-on. It’s important to have audiences learn, but also have some fun along the way – and Mike really helped us do that by being thought-provoking and entertaining. I highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for a keynoter who can engage an audience on how to make the impossible, possible.

– Mike Corkery, President & CEO of Deltek
