MEET THE ESC CONSULTANTS

Mike Byrnes

About

Mike Byrnes has been a consultant with ESC since 2010.  Currently, president of Byrnes Consulting, LLC, Mike helps organizations become even more successful.  He is a recognized thought leader that has been published 400 times in over 40 media outlets.

Why do you consult with ESC?

Over the years I have found it incredibly rewarding to partner with ESC to help local nonprofits increase their success so they can better fulfill their missions. Multiple times I was on a board that used ESC’s strategic planning services and saw the positive impact the advice had. Years later I realized I too wanted to help other charities in a similar way.

Most memorable experience?

I have been extremely impressed with fellow consultants that I have been teamed up with.

For one branding project I was teamed up with an ESC consultant that had helped create the General Electric (GE) tagline, “We bring good things to life.”
