Very early in Mike Thorne's childhood, he learned that he was adopted. This news devastated him and shattered his sense of belonging. For many years, Mike worked harder than everyone around him and only counted on himself. While this created success, he was unfulfilled and alone. It also left him struggling to be an effective leader. Later in life, a mentor of his gave him some life-changing advice that has changed the course of his personal and professional life. Mike learned, "Life is a team sport". Mike made a complete overhaul of his leadership style and created what he calls, “Personal Trust Communities”. They are transformational. Now, Mike is not only successful, but he is fulfilled and helping others do the same.
