We were privileged to have Michael Crossland as Master of Ceremonies at our Linked Community Services Accelerate 2025 Conference. From the outset, he exceeded every expectation.
Michael is not your typical MC. He delivered an inspiring keynote, a thought-provoking workshop, energising icebreakers, and team-building challenges that kept the program dynamic and engaging. On the first morning, he led a sunrise meditation for 40 delegates, setting the tone with clarity and connection, and later brought warmth and energy as host of our gala dinner.
One highlight was his leadership during an invigorating ice bath, where his encouragement gave participants the confidence to step outside their comfort zones. He also captured the heart of the event in a moving video collage, a memorable finale that united us all.
Michael is a rare combination of MC, keynote speaker, facilitator, and motivator. His professionalism, passion, and care created an unforgettable experience we wholeheartedly recommend.
We engaged Michael to address 800 exercise professionals and fitness business owners at Filex, the annual fitness industry fitness convention.
Michael had the audience enthralled from the get go- his easy affable manner and down to earth sense of humour engaged everyone the moment he was on stage.
As Michael’s presentation moved into his life story the connection grew and it would be fair to say that there was not one attendee that wasn’t moved and inspired by this extraordinary man.
We highly recommend him to other organisations looking for an inspirational reminder of what is truly important in the real world.
The feedback from our Leadership was fantastic and after assessing the feedback sheets 100% of the delegates rated your session as Excellent! It was wonderful to have you share your story with our team again.
On behalf of the Board of the Association, and the delegates attending our Annual Conference, I write to offer our sincere thanks for your contribution to our Annual Conference through your Address on Tuesday morning.
Your presentation was inspiring, moving, emotional, educational and empowering! Absolutely everyone in the audience loved it and left motivated and inspired by your life story and how you have met every challenge and embraced life! We all want to meet your mother, too!
I understand that you sold out of your books after the Address. I think many more people will be keen to purchase your book after hearing you speak!
Thank you for sharing your story with us, for encouraging everyone to make a difference each day in another person’s life and to always be aware that things could always be worse (such as a stick in the balls!) so get on with life!
TruChoice Financial Group was blessed to have Mr. Michael Crossland at our 2023 Kickoff conference in Phoenix Arizona to tell his story of Hope, Love and Perspective. Michael had the entire group on the edge of their seats throughout the presentation with a mixture of laughter, tears and deep thought, and as Jimmy Valvano said “ Thats a full day”. The speech concluded with a powerful and emotionally charged standing ovation by all in attendance.
I would recommend Michael Crossland to speak at any event and no one will be disappointed.
This is a person who exposed his heart and soul and makes an impact on ALL of the audience. I have never laughed so much, or nearly cried so much, in an hour in my entire life. He reached out to the delegates and I seen big burly men give in to the emotions that Michael generated. Michaels presentation without any doubt was the best I have ever witnessed and will never be superseded, thank God that Michael does what he does and may he live forever doing it.
This is a brief note to say a big thank you for joining us in Melbourne for our 2018 Thales Australia Leadership Conference and sharing your story.
The feedback I received from the 200 Thales Australia leaders who came together from all over the country was extermely positive.
You are an inspiration and I’m sure all our team took something from it how to live life in a meaningful way, the power of positive thinking, and not to let adversity define you.
“I can’t stop thinking about Michael’s journey and have already started reading his book. To say he is inspiring doesn’t even come close. He gives fantastic hugs and I feel lucky to have said a few words to him. He really is one in a million and I’m sure he will be able to give Bree some further hope too.”
“My tough best friend Georgia was beside me sobbing. I pretty much held it together until your Mum’s struggles.”
A very down to earth, true story speaker, who spoke so eloquently and passionately. Made us all think of “what’s important!?”
I attended Million Dollar Round Table Global Conference in Singapore late last year. With nearly 10,000 in attendance, I think your standing ovation said it all. Truly the most motivating, inspiring, emotional, mind boggling session I have ever experienced. You hit on all of the emotions!!! God bless you Michael.

It was clear from the word go that he had 650 people engaged. Michael had the audience laughing and seconds later crying with his incredible story. There were endless messages for every single person in the room and I believe this is a message more people should hear. Michael is truly inspirational and a very polished speaker, but he does this with an abundance of humbleness. The true test is: will you have him back again as a speaker? 200% yes.
