Interviews

Speaking a Brighter Future into Existence with Michael Arterberry - 122

Jun 11, 2020

Michael Arterberry took sanctuary in sports to distract from the fear and hardship he faced at home growing up. As an adult, he recognised that his ability to stay resilient, keep perspective and positive during the trials of his childhood was not something everyone facing the same challenges was able to do. That epiphany led to a life dedicated to creating 'aha' moments, and a mission to help others find their way through the challenges life throws at them to discover their place of peace.


Michael says “I can’t change your circumstances, but I can help change your perspective.” That’s what his talks and transformational coaching programs do. In this show he is sharing his journey, and some of the tips and techniques he uses with people in creating 'aha' moments and helping them manage those difficult situations.


He also shares how he puts his talks together and some of his secret speaking tricks that inspire, lead, and encourage people to choose the right path for them.


Enjoy!
