Teacher, salesman, senior executive, recruiter, consultant, speaker, author: Michael Synk has worn a lot of hats and covered a lot of ground. With 25 years in the temporary help industry, healthcare, and consulting, Synk draws on a depth and breadth of experience to advise and coach his clients.

After a start in teaching, Synk began started 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.
