Inspiring Coach
The most important aspect of inspiration is that it motivates people to (re)set goals and take action. It’s like ignition: A spark you need when you’ve stalled and need to restart the engine. ‘Motivation is like an internal fire. If someone else tries to stoke that fire under you, chances are it will only burn for a short time.’
During my sessions and various programs as an inspiring and motivational speaker, Michael helps people in teams and organizations to ignite that fire themselves. He does this by addressing themes such as success, health, work happiness, mental resilience, fitness, leadership, and authenticity.

Mental Resilience
Do you want more success, health, and happiness in your life? As a motivational speaker, Michael always says: ‘Develop your mental resilience!’. This might sound strange, but very often it’s not your talent or work ethic that is decisive, but the extent to which you can recover from disappointment and setbacks. The art is to stay standing and deliver the performances that are desired.
Michael helps you practice mental skills around the theme of self-confidence and mental resilience so that you will change the negative, unwanted thoughts – also known as thinking errors.

Work Happiness
‘I don’t want to know how busy you’ve been, but what you’ve delivered!’. A statement that is quite result-oriented, but not just about being productive. It’s about work happiness. Work happiness leads to happy and inspired employees and better results.
As a motivational speaker, Michael increasingly hears that organizations want to focus on work happiness. Because employees who experience work happiness are happier, more creative, more eager to learn, and less often sick. But how do you ensure this? Michael has worked for many different government agencies and companies and gained insight into what is needed and what adjustments can be made; both for employees and at tactical and strategic levels.

About Speaker Michael Kortekaas
