Biography of Michael Synk                                                                         

Michael has 25 years of experience in the temporary help industry, healthcare, and consulting, drawing on a depth and breadth of experience to advise and coach his clients. 

After a start in teaching, he began as a sales rep with Kelly Temporary Services, and worked his way up to vice president of sales and operations with a regional franchise group, winning performance awards along the way.  A move to Memphis to be closer to family facilitated a jump to the health care industry as a recruiter and internal business coach a for national ophthalmology practice management firm.  Taking inventory of all of these experiences, a common theme of “Creating Success in Others” came to the surface, encouraging Michael to get out on his own and become a business coach. 

Michael now leads Inner Circle of the Mid-South, facilitating groups of business owners, helping them get much-needed feedback from their peers on how to build on their success.  “Business owners and entrepreneurs appreciate the hard hitting feedback they receive from their Inner Circle Peers.  Members help each other see the big picture while delivering creative and practical ways of dealing with the here and now.  Helping this happen is very rewarding.”

In addition to Inner Circle, Michael is certified by Gazelles International to coach executive teams in strategic planning, hiring, and a host of other disciplines that create fast growth.  Along the way Michael wrote a book on Target/Relationship Marketing titled, How to Create Customers as Loyal as Norm Peterson: The Cheers Model of Marketing.  He is also a regular contributor to the Memphis Business Journal.
