420 Pounds to Triathlete and Business Leader

In 2008 I declared to the world, "I will compete in the Chicago Triathlon in 2009," even though I still weighed in at 420 pounds. I accomplished that mission a year later and have gone on to compete in countless endurance challenges. While on this journey, I also opened and grew over eight companies and still own and operate 4 of them today.

Testimonials (5)
  • Michael is the genuine article. Having come from a humble background, he's worked his way to the very top, and done it all along the way. The fact that this hasn't changed who he is, or what he wants from life is testament enough... but Michael's ability to captivate and convey his various missions in life are second to none. With a huge amount of passion for the customer service and customer experience industries, Michael is bringing together the industry around a common goal - and transforming the poorly performing cost centres (contact centres) of the past through differentiated technology, methodology, and culture, to enable the expectations of every customer around the world. Having known Michael both personally and professionally for some time now, his ability to influence and break open pandoras box of the 'unknown' are uncanny, and remarkable. Aside from all of this, he has always been, and remains - a super nice guy who is always willing to help.

  • Michael and I met two years ago when our company contracted him to assist in standing up our first call center. I was new to my role as Director of Sales, and though I had years of experience leading successful retail sales teams, I was new to leading call center professionals. As the “Guru of all things Call Center Related” (Unofficial but deserving title), Michael’s knowledge and experience in creating successful sales and customer experience teams were vital to my team’s early success. In addition, Michael’s ability to make the complex simple brought the clarity I needed to identify what success looks like and the path to get there. I highly recommend investing your time with Michael. You will learn, laugh, and come away with tangible, real-life applications to use immediately with your team.

  • Working with Michael will blow your mind. It doesn't matter if you're a junior sales guy, or the CEO of a global company, you will walk away from every conversation knowing something that will progress your career. My only regret is I didn't meet him earlier.

  • Michael McMillan knows how to take hungry individuals and motivate them into reaching their true potential. I personally met Michael on a call center floor as a new supervisor, I had call center experience, but needed to be molded into a true leader. Michael got to know me, what my strengths and weaknesses were. He invested time in me and the results came due to me putting in work with his guidance. Michael knows what he is doing and I highly recommend getting any advice from him whether that be from LinkedIn, his consulting practice or attending events he is speaking at. Invest in yourself and let Michael help you do the rest.

  • Mike has been such a huge influence on my journey in call center leadership. I've had the pleasure of working for him at a few of his companies where I helped manage campaigns for several of his BPO clients. Mike is the type of leader that works along side you and never "above" you no matter what position you hold at his company. He treats all with the same respect and he is truly passionate about giving back to our community. He is a servant leader who is focused on developing people and building appopriately matched processes consecutively to create the most effective CX experiences for his clients. He has taught me the ins and outs of this industry and his passion for what he does is authentic and genuine. Mike also has a great knowledge of what it takes to build out high performing cx teams who will take care of your customers and he loves to pass on his knowledge and tips through his talks. Im thankful for the friendship and the guidance over the last 8+ years. I encourage anyone who has worked in the customer service industry to listen and learn from someone who is well versed in the call center world.
