About Dr. Mike Bechtle

I’m the best-selling author of ten books including People Can’t Drive You Crazy If You Don’t Give Them the Keys. I’ve sold 500,000 copies of my books, and spent over 30 years as a FranklinCovey consultant (teaching over 3000 seminars). You might have come here from reading one of my books or blog posts; maybe you heard me speak in person, on radio/TV or a podcast, or connected through the recommendation of a friend. However you came, I’m grateful. Welcome to the journey!
