Power of Perspective - Michael Crossland

Michael will share his remarkably inspiring story of overcoming extreme adversity to achieve

incredible outcomes in both his personal and professional life. Global audience numbers now

exceed 600,000 people. Despite and because of spending nearly 1/4 of his life in hospital,

Michael’s ability to help shift your mindset, instil perspective and have you determined to

become the best version of yourself, will amaze and inspire. Representing Australia in his

chosen sport, holding an executive position with one of the largest companies in the world at

the age of 23, and then throwing it all away to find his true passion and purpose, will leave

you in awe. Michael’s story will undoubtedly bring a tear to your eye and a smile to your heart,

but above all will teach you the keys to success, the importance of embracing change, and the

mindset needed to achieve your goals. A presentation not to be missed.
