A 9/11 survivor who has transformed his life, Mike Jaffe serves as The Human WakeUp Call™ by using his own brush with tragedy as a message of self-discovery and empowerment.
Mike Jaffe was working at a Fortune 500 company, adding a four-hour daily commute from Connecticut to New York City to long days in the office. Leaving the house early in the morning and returning late at night meant that he barely ever saw his one-year-old daughter awake, apart from weekends. He felt like his professional commitments controlled his life, leaving him deflated and lacking fulfillment. One fateful Monday afternoon, he realized that he had to make a change… however small it may be. He decided to spend an extra twenty minutes at home the next morning, having breakfast with his family and enjoying his wife and daughter’s company. That Tuesday morning, he was late to catch his normal train to his office in the World Trade Center. That Tuesday morning was the morning of September 11, 2001, and by vowing to make one small change towards a more fulfilled life, Mike avoided the terrible fate that ended many of his colleagues’ lives.
As a result of that wakeup call, Jaffe radically changed directions in his career, leaving a secure corporate job in Manhattan to reinvent himself as an entrepreneur. He is the founder of the Mike Jaffe Company, whose programs helps individuals and organizations WakeUp their potential and take inspired and courageous action to create new possibilities for growth and success, without losing another precious day.
As a Speaker, Mike touches the hearts and minds of a wide variety of audiences, rallying participants into empowered action with life-changing results.
