    “Mike led a leadership offsite at Gettysburg. The Gettysburg Staff Walk left an indelible impression. It highlighted the depth of sacrifice at those hallowed grounds; showed what Union and freedom cost; and reminded us that internecine conflict can be as vicious and destructive as war between nations. But more to the point, the Walk served as a reminder of Faulkner’s adage, ‘The past is never dead. It’s not even past.’ As we walked from station to station and made decisions — hypothetical ones — with the same information available to battlefield leaders, we realized that those leaders in the summer of 1863 were fallible, sometimes heroic, often wrong. In short, just like us. The immediacy of the place reached across the long chasm of history; and the presence of Mike and his instructors — guiding, illuminating, empathizing with a hard-earned authenticity — drove the lessons home in a way that a self-guided walk never could. A required experience for anyone who wants to better understand our history, and the connection of that history to contemporary leadership.”

His presentation on leadership was the best I have ever seen. His ability to communicate to all levels of a team is simply outstanding.

    requests to bring him back to our department.“

    Books by Mike Sarraille:

    The Talent War: How Special Operations and Great Organizations Win on Talent

    Foreword written by New York Times best-selling author and retired Navy SEAL Jocko Willink.

    A must-listen for any business leader looking to build elite teams and win on talent.

    Talent is the foundation of every success story from Silicon Valley to Wall Street to Main Street, and even on the battlefields of Iraq and Afghanistan. It’s the hidden asset that never shows up on the balance sheet, despite being the driver for a company’s true value. And now, in this hypercompetitive business environment, the war for talent has never been more important or more complex. Of 800 CEOs and 600 C-suite executives polled in 2019, the overwhelming majority cited the ability to attract and retain top talent as their number one concern.

    For your organization to win, you need to attract and retain the best talent. But without the right strategy or mindset, you won’t be able to do so – and you won’t be able to compete. After all, your people, not your product or service, are your strongest competitive advantage.

    When it comes to winning on talent, no one does it better or more consistently than the US Special Operations community. Their success comes down to their people and a widely held foundational belief: Talent + Leadership = Victory.

    The Talent War explores how US Special Operations Forces assess, select, and develop their world-class talent. You’ll learn how to adopt a talent mindset, the single greatest weapon you can possess in the war for talent. When your organization reflects this mindset, you will hire, train, and develop the right people and put them in the best positions to make decisions that allow you to retake the advantage and win the war.

The Everyday Warrior is your guide to approaching life with a healthy mindset, acting with intention, and focusing on your physical, mental, and spiritual growth—because lasting success requires the pursuit of balance. You’ll draw on the wisdom of other everyday warriors to overcome challenges, be resilient, and build positive habits that’ll change your life.

    As an everyday warrior, you’ll learn to transform setbacks into valuable lessons, turn small victories into remarkable achievements, and embrace the freedom of knowing that success isn’t the destination—it’s simply part of the journey.

    Not only does The Everyday Warrior give you the tools to change your life, but it also allows you to honor America’s heroes by making a lasting difference in the lives of those they loved most—today and forever.
