Harness the Extraordinary Power of Purpose
Watch Michael In Action
A world-class author, storyteller, and purpose coach
​
​When he was 18, Michael quit his speech class and swore he would never take the stage again after a humiliating presentation. Today, Michael is a Game-Changing speaker and Best-Selling author who has impacted millions with his message of resilience.
As a child, he immigrated to the United States just before the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War and is the grandson of a ‘Siege of Leningrad’ and Dachau camp survivor.
Whether it's students, athletes, leaders, or business professionals, Michael uses his talent for story-telling and his personal experiences as an entrepreneur to motivate audiences to overcome fears, build confidence, make meaningful connections, and inspire others by leading Courageously, Intentionally, and Authentically.

"I'm not someone who typically needs motivation, I wake up everyday ready to go but Michael's speech to our leaders at our annual summit really got me fired up and ready to lead from the heart!
Sam Taggart, D2D Experts
Michael rocked his session at our D2D conference. In fact, his session was the highest rated by workshop attendees so we had to bring him in for our mastermind retreat as well to inspire our members!
Tom Bailey, WCH Superintendent
I received tons of positive messages from staff about Michael's presentation!
They NEEDED to hear him today!!
Michael, YOU changed people's lives today for the better and for that I am grateful. You made an impact on every staff member, thus every student in Washington Court House City Schools. Thank you!
