Who Is Michael C.?

“Michael Christman believes passionately in the power of dedicated people working together in common purpose, and the rare brand of leadership required to make it happen.”

Michael started Magis, The Achievement Company, mostly to keep from being bored in retirement. He was involved with one of the best kept secrets in American business for three decades.

His hands-on experience, combined with an understanding of high-level performance and management, uniquely prepared him to help others achieve amazing results.

(MC) “I was lucky enough to work with world-class people who possessed non-negotiable qualities. Once you experience an atmosphere of limitless energy in a well-run company where employees are engaged and empowered, you become more and achieve more than you dreamed possible. There were times when we were simply bullet-proof. We thought we could do the impossible; and we did. . . . continuously, for a very long time.”

“That being said, staying on top is not as easy as getting there. The factors that create unprecedented success, are the same factors that cause the eventual loss of momentum. How we balance the future with the now becomes the critical element in our lives. Achieving this illusive balance is the essence of Magis Thinking.”

Michael played a variety of roles in the growth and development of Lifetouch, a photography and yearbook company that grew over 20% per year for twenty years, becoming the industry leader and most recognized brand.

The challenges facing a growing company are very different than the issues surrounding declining sales. Magis Thinking heightens your ability to identify and focus on the right things in the midst of a chaotic world. It is contagious.
