“Michael McGRATH is a phenomenon. He shares lessons in leadership, lessons in handling change and lessons in life, introducing audiences to the possibility of thinking and acting differently”

Sir Kenneth Branagh

"Michael is an outstanding and inspiring speaker. He joined our Top Leaders Conference and delivered a powerful, inspiring and thought provoking address. We were captivated by his journey, the way he navigated and thought about the (often huge) difficulties he faced and the adversity he has overcome. He really challenged us all to think outside of the box about the journey we face together and how we will achieve our goals.

His story really resonated with our leaders; it was witty, imaginative and often emotional – and presented with panache. The standing ovation was simply testament to the emotion and connection he reached with all of the audience"
