About
Mike Zawitkowski is part of slap company, a group of deadly serious, totally twisted psychotics that achieve ferocious commitment in manager, employee and customer cultures. By day he’s a slap project manager making the business case for humanity by changing cultures in Fortune 500 companies. By night, Mike commits his business acumen toward helping his wife settle in outer space, in exchange for unlimited access to the space opera section of her science fiction book collection.
Mike excels at helping companies maximize product sales and set up new distribution channels. He has a well-rounded knowledge about marketing and understands how to overcome barriers when launching new products. While working for KMI, he gracefully handled internal pressures and unrealistic expectations. I admire his ability to keep his cool and maintain a loyalty in the face of extreme challenges. I highly recommend Mike and look forward to working with him in the near future.

“'Mike Z' is one of those amazingly positive people you can't believe exists. He's happy, positive, generous, helpful, smart, and most of all ultra-capable. He has the calm, never-frazzled, one-step-at-time approach of a war-hardened combat surgeon and he's happy to take the time to help you be as cool as he is. On top of that, he's filled with a love for life, science and music.
I hope I have the chance to work with him again.” November 17, 2011

Mike is definitely a Project Management Jedi. He was instrumental in getting our releases out the door on time, every time. His easy going nature makes it a pleasure to work with him. Definitely an A+ player.

I only had the opportunity to work with Michael for about 6 months, but it was in the first 6 weeks I saw what a brilliantly talented and remarkably capable individual he is. His has an amazing ability to simplify complex problems into their core elements and address the root cause of challenges rather than the apparent symptoms. He can turn scattered thoughts into discernable action plans and can make sense of even the most complicated mess of priorities. I would welcome the opportunity to work with Michael again and have no doubt he will be responsible for greatness.

Mike has been advising me on social media strategies and ways to increase passive income in my business. He's incredibly fast on the learning curve and extremely insightful. He's taken the time to understand what Work from Within is about, and has helped me to distill down the value offered and recommended ways to communicate to create a more viral movement. He's super creative and always has a positive attitude. When he makes a promise, Mike totally fulfills on it. I've had a great time working with him and will continue to tap into his expertise. I heartily recommend Mike to anyone looking to enhance their marketing in creative, impactful ways, making use of social media technology and trends.

Mike Zawitkowski is an outstanding person. He really knows how to take care of business. I'm particularly impressed by the way he follows up on my questions, no matter how obscure. I'm sure he's busier than anything, but he makes me feel like I'm his only client. The dude is organized. And smart. And nice. Do whatever you can to keep him around.

Mike is well known... But did you know he is also a driving force behind launching a Berklee Internet radio station? I have worked with a number of students who have tried to get radio off the ground, but Mike and his team are the ones who are going to make it happen.
Mike explored the legal and business aspects for internet radio, and cut through a lot of the dreaming to identify the practical steps needed to keep the project moving forward... Mike deserves enormous credit for his initiative to create something important that will live for long after he has graduated.

Mike is one of the most reliable, straightforward people I know. He is good to word, which is rare in the music biz. He has composed original soundtracks for short films for me on time and with openness to direction and also secured rights for other people's tunes, taking many of the headaches out of film editing.
