Harvey Mackay has written six New York Times bestselling books, two of which were named among the top 15 inspirational business books of all time – "Swim With The Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive" and "Beware The Naked Man Who Offers You His Shirt". His book, "Use Your Head To Get Your Foot in the Door: Job Search Secrets No One Else Will Tell You", immediately made the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestseller lists. Harvey is a nationally syndicated columnist and has been named one of the top five speakers in the world by Toastmasters International. He is chairman of the $100 million MackayMitchell Envelope Company, a company he started in 1960. At age 26, he purchased a small, failing envelope company in 1959 which has grown to a $100 million business employing over 600 people. MackayMitchell Envelope Company is one of the nation's major envelope manufacturers, producing 25 million envelopes a day. As chairman, Harvey's philosophy is engrained in the company, beginning with its motto: Do what you love, love what you do and deliver more than you promise. Harvey is a graduate of the University of Minnesota and the Stanford University Graduate School of Business Executive Program. He is an avid runner and marathoner, and former #1 ranked tennis player in Minnesota. He has sat on the board of the Minnesota Orchestra and was a director on Robert Redford's Sundance Institute and the University of Minnesota Carlson School of Management. He has been a guest lecturer at various universities and business schools, including Harvard, Stanford, Michigan, Cornell, Wharton and Penn State. Central to Harvey's business, and to his books, is the ability to stay competitive in the often cut-throat world of business, to 'swim with the sharks', without sacrificing one's personal integrity or doing it at the expense of other people. He does this by focusing on building strong relationships with both customers and employees. In fact, Harvey is a master of networking. He believes most people make the mistake of only turning to their network when they need it; for example, when they're looking for a new job. Harvey says that networking is a lifelong practice that provides you with new knowledge and experiences, job security, expanded financial reach, and the strength of the group. The secret to maintaining a great network is, above all, knowing the value of the personal touch. In spite of his hectic schedule, Harvey Mackay still finds plenty of time for family and fun. He's an avid golfer (11.4 handicap) and won the Super Senior Men's Championship at his home club.
