Mike Gillette’s work focuses on improving how people think, decide, and perform under pressure.
It’s about conduct, not motivation. Most people already know what’s necessary. Their failure isn’t knowledge, it’s simply follow-through.
The foundational principles of his work are distinctly straightforward:
Choices > Circumstances
Purpose > Prosperity
Acclaim ≠ Achievement
Service = Success
They apply at home, in schools, in organizations, and in communities. The environment can change. The standard doesn’t.
People perform the way they practice.
The outcome isn’t inspiration; it’s change.
restraint replaces impulse, direction replaces drift, and accountability replaces excuses.
Mike Gillette’s work is shaped by decades of applied experience and delivered through speaking, training, mentoring, and writing.
His approach is practical and disciplined. It emphasizes clear priorities, repeatable behavior, consistency over time, and accountability.
