About Mike

Who I Am and What I Do! 

I am Mike Osorio, a successful retailer with passion for helping individuals, teams, and companies reach their potential for success and to deliver extraordinary customer experiences. 

I boost people and profits as a high-energy, motivational public speaker, coach, and individual & team talent consultant.  I have enjoyed a successful 25 year executive career in department stores, duty-free, and specialty food/gift retail with Macy’s, Gottschalk’s, DFS, and Harry & David. 

Through Osorio Group LLC, I now bring my experience, success and passion to retailers and brands with my powerful programs.  Learn about them at www.OsorioGroup.com. 

Dare to be Contagious! ™ is my philosophy of combining the power of learning and knowledge with the power of sharing. I have made this phrase the motto for my company to emphasize the critical importance of sharing our knowledge to help people and profits grow. 

The Dare to be Contagious! ™ blog is my space to share my thoughts on current retail trends, branding, consumer behavior, leadership, talent development, and more.  I will also add my passion for music, food, wine, and travel when I share information on cool products and services in these areas. 

My wife & I live in beautiful southern Oregon, while my two sons thrive at colleges in Rhode Island (senior at Johnson & Wales University), and Missouri (sophomore at University of Missouri, Columbia).
