He also speaks to audiences no matter the size and inspires each individual to achieve ongoing positive change in their lives and understand the power of perspective.
“Michael is an expert in not only optimism and resilience, but walking the talk,” Mrs Atkinson said.

“His story is put simply an emotion roller coaster of courage, yet his message demonstrates the strength that one has within and demonstrates the choice we all have to continue living as a victim or to make a choice to take control make the change and become a navigator.”
