Build Resilience and Improve Your Well-Being

“I’m on a mission to inspire, empower and equip purpose-driven leaders around the world to bounce back from setbacks and build back stronger from adversity.”

What I do

Life often presents us with adversity in the form of external obstacles such as a job layoff, business failure, health crisis, money problems, loss of a loved one, and rocky business or personal relationships. Similarly, many of us face internal obstacles like fear, worry, anxiety, self-doubt, negative self-talk and limiting beliefs. Both types of obstacles often result in higher stress levels and lower productivity, which can leave us feeling stuck. This negatively impacts our quality of life and our organization’s bottom line.

Are you an entrepreneur, an executive, or a leader who has faced or is currently facing any of the above-listed obstacles? What has the result been? Are you still standing tall, or have circumstances knocked you off your feet? Are you just bent, or are you broken? If you’re in the latter category, are you seeking ways to regain your bearings and get back to a position of strength so you can accomplish your goals and fulfill your life’s mission and vision? Well, you’ve come to the right place. I’ve personally experienced all of the above-mentioned obstacles in my life…plus more! Yet, I’ve been able to weather those storms and overcome that adversity by employing simple yet powerful strategies and techniques that have completely transformed my life.

As a result, I’m now on a mission to inspire, empower and equip entrepreneurs, executives, and leaders like you around the world with these same strategies so you too can overcome the obstacles that impede your growth and experience a similar transformational shift. The ultimate outcome is reduced stress and increased profits, productivity and peace of mind for you and your organization. More resilient leaders make more resilient organizations.

Michael K. Jackson opened up as the Conference Kick-Off Keynote speaker for the NVBDC National Veterans Business Matchmaker Conference in Columbus, Ohio, on Tuesday, November 5, 2019. Expectations were high as the attendees: Service-Disabled/Veteran Owned Businesses and Supplier Diversity Professionals from several NVBDC Corporate Members/Non-Members, made a considerable investment of time and money to attend the 2-day conference. As most of us know, the first speaker of any conference sets the tone for the rest of the events. Michael K. Jackson was well received by the audience with is knowledge, inspiration and charisma. He was easy to work with, personable, and spent extra time to deliver an exceptional presentation tailored specifically for the attendees. The tone was set; the kick-off with Michael was exactly what the conference needed to continue down the path for success.
