Every business is really a collection of people trying to perform at a higher level — and most of them are stuck for reasons they can't quite name. Mike Garza has formulated the C.L.E.A.T. Mindset and CE-9 to solve exactly that problem, giving clients a proven framework for turning stalled effort into consistent, high-performance outcomes.

​

The model works because it doesn't treat leadership as one-dimensional. Mike teaches clients to draw insight from four distinct vantage points — competitor, educator, entrepreneur, and emotional healer which builds a holistic view of performance that most training programs never touch. That range lets the model work as well in a boardroom as it does on a competitive field.

​

At the center of the work is what Mike calls the 5 P's: people, processes, production, performance, and profit. These are the exact points where Mike sees clients get stuck. Once he walks a team through the model, something shifts. Leaders develop a deeper capacity to lead and a sharper emotional understanding of what drives their people, and that combination is what unlocks optimal performance at scale.

​

Here's the number that changes how most executives think about training: emotional effectiveness accounts for 70% of job performance. Most businesses invest almost entirely in skills and process. Yet almost nothing addresses the 70% that determines whether people execute. Mike's training closes that gap, giving your organization the leadership capacity and emotional intelligence to convert potential into profit outcomes.
