R. Michael Anderson, MBA, MC (known as Michael) has a striking combination that creates truly impactful transformation in leaders – real-life experience of starting up successful companies as well as a masters degree in psychology. This combination gives him the unique ability to connect to other leaders as their peer, before teaching evidence-based skills that genuinely drive behaviour and performance. It is also the reason why he is asked to work on Stanford University’s start-up ecosystem, why PwC has him work with their high-growth CEOs, and why companies like Microsoft, Salesforce and Uber bring him to level up their leadership teams.
He was the owner of Jet Reports Asia; is the founder of Radiant Technologies, which he worked as CEO between 2006-14; and owner of
Dynamics NAV Addons.Michael shares how his Californian companies landed on the Inc. 5,000 list of fastest-growing US companies, created a culture so strong that they won the #1 Best Place to work, and in 2005 he held the office of President of the Board of Directors for a chapter of Conscious Capitalism, an international organisation dedicated to elevating humanity through business.
He is a gifted storyteller who shares his failures as much as his successes. His presentations show an authentic, more vulnerable side to the successful businessman, showing audiences that failures don’t always mean disaster.
A former professional basketball player, the 6’8’’ Michael is hard to miss.

MICHAEL ANDERSON KEYNOTES
Follow: Have you ever seen a leader whom people naturally follow seemingly without trying? Do you wish you knew their secrets? Authenticity through internal alignment and personal integrity give people the confidence to step up and become a leader in any situation.
Insider Secrets of Scaling Up: This provides a five-step programme that leaders of every high-growth company needs to know in order to scale up successfully. He takes his well-known leadership content and delivers it in a combination of masterclasses, accountability sessions, and coaching to give maximum effect in the shortest amount of time.
Soul-Centred Leadership: Transforming Your Business and Yourself: You’ll find amazing things can happen when people learn to lead with the power, guidance and courage of their soul. Becoming soul-centred gives a leader an inner confidence and knowledge that you can make decisions, and lead from a place of love instead of fear.
How to Crush Procrastination, Embrace Change and Live a Big Life: Do you think you’re living up to your potential? Are you staring squarely at life’s challenges? Dealing with any type of change be it in your career, relationship, health or personal life, and shifting new ways of thinking can be difficult.
Driving True Change for your Organisation: Whilst some companies just look to hire a speaker, others want to truly inspire and level-up their senior management. Michael’s background in psychology gives him the knowledge to work with you to create a plan to teach skills, change behaviours and drive performance at all levels of the company.
Emotional Intelligence for Leading High-Performance Teams: Everyone in business has heard about emotional intelligence, but in this talk, Michael teaches you how to utilise it to make your team resilient, healthy and high-performing.
Michael Anderson on Workforce Reinvention: A lot of companies now work with a virtual or hybrid model, with some employees working fully in the office, some fully at home, and some a hybrid of both. This includes tools and skills for a high-performance distributed workforce.
Leading Through Change and Adversity: How we doubled revenue and profits during the Great Recession, and won #1 place to work. He takes his well-known leadership content and delivers it in a combination of masterclasses, accountability sessions and coaching to give maximum effort in the shortest amount of time.
The Future of Leadership: There’s a great divide happening in leadership right now. On one side, you’ve got yesterday’s leaders—still clinging to control, burning out their best people, and wondering why nothing feels like it used to work. On the other side are tomorrow’s leaders who’ve cracked the code on what humans actually need to perform, and they’re absolutely crushing it. The difference isn’t talent. It isn’t luck. It’s that tomorrow’s leaders stopped trying to manage people like machines and started leading them like human beings.
