Michael McMillan Biography

Michael McMillan has a well-established reputation for creative thinking and delivering innovative results. He founded a visual communications firm that attracted a Who’s Who of international businesses, and his work has been recognized by major design, marketing, and advertising organizations globally.

McMillan's creative direction on Michael Jordan’s "Rare Air," a New York Times best-selling pictorial autobiography, established a new standard and niche in retail publishing. This experience led to several more award-winning coffee-table books, including "Mario Andretti," "The NBA at 50," and "John Deere’s Genuine Values." After two decades of growth and success, McMillan sold his firm to pursue new challenges and interests, including his work as a consultant on innovation and creativity.

As an author, McMillan has shared his unique insights on creative thinking in his best-selling book "Paper Airplane: A Lesson for Flying Outside the Box," which conveys a profound and lasting message about the power of innovation and the courage to take action. His other publications include "The Power of Teamwork," "Johnny the Bagger: The Simple Truths of Service," and "Pink Bat: Turning Problems Into Solutions." Each of these works focuses on transformative principles such as seeing problems as opportunities and the essential nature of teamwork and service.

McMillan’s breadth of knowledge and experience, combined with his storytelling ability, makes him a sought-after public speaker. He connects with diverse audiences, leaving them both motivated and committed to embrace a future of endless possibilities. Notably, his keynote programs like "Pink Bat" and "Paper Airplane" emphasize turning problems into solutions and the importance of thinking outside the box, resonating deeply in educational and corporate settings. Based in Chicago, IL, McMillan continues to influence and inspire through his presentations on creative thinking, teamwork fundamentals, and innovative problem-solving.
