Drawing from personal experience, Michael redefines what it means to live with a disability, offering a bold and empowering perspective on accessibility, inclusion, and leadership.

His talk weaves humor, vulnerability, and deep insight to help individuals and organizations reimagine what’s possible when we listen, adapt, and lead with intention. Key themes include: Redefining blindness and disability through empowerment The power of innovation and adaptive thinking Leadership through listening and presence Overcoming adversity with resilience and hope Lessons from 9/11 and the bond between a guide dog and his handler Creating inclusive environments in business, education, and community life Who this talk is for: Corporate leaders, DEI professionals, HR teams, educators, entrepreneurs, accessibility advocates, and anyone seeking a transformative perspective on human potential and inclusive leadership. Quote from the keynote: "Most of you don't multitask as well as you think you do." Michael also shares about his ongoing work as host of the podcast Inclusion, Diversity, and the Unexpected Me, where he interviews people from all walks of life who are making a difference in their communities and industries.
