Meet Mike
Michael Chriswell is a successful sales executive, entrepreneur, and professional speaker with humble beginnings. From a very young age and even into adulthood, Michael has experienced and overcome tremendous adversities in his life, including the experience of losing everything he owned in less than a 24-hour period. After the tragic loss of his first business and a 5-year dream, Michael was left penniless and devastated with over $500,000 in business debt. However, as life pressed hard and gave Michael all the excuses he needed to quit striving for a successful life, he pressed back harder with the bold determination to never become a victim of his circumstances. Instead, Michael remembers being impacted by an idea he read in a book he had purchased. It was the challenge of becoming everything God had created him to become; it was a challenge he accepted. With the help of a few important encouragers and a few critical habits that he developed early on, Michael built the foundation for enjoying the life he has today, an extremely fulfilling, purpose driven life built to serve and encourage others. By his early 30's Michael had already owned 3 businesses, been the record breaking sales executive with 5 of the 6 major companies he worked with, and he was the top producing National Sales Trainer, while promoting Tom Hopkins International, one of the countries top training organizations.
At his very core Michael is a person of great passion, purpose, and one who is on a daily mission to change the small part of the world that he occupies. Whether it’s his live speaking engagements, his online interactive training system or just visiting with someone over coffee, Michael’s energy and passion to change people's lives can be seen and felt. He utilizes his own life experiences and the many adversities he has faced to share stories that inspire, encourage, and distill wisdom. Michael’s passion for life and his “never say die” attitude proves the theory that life really is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you choose to react to it.
As a speaker, Michael’s passion captivates his audiences as they become aware of his genuine care for truly helping them to achieve their greatest level of personal and business success. Michael is refreshingly easy for his audiences to identify with and connect to. He not only takes himself lightly, but he also has a very open and transparent approach to sharing his own ups and downs in life and in business, which is exactly what makes him such a desirable speaker and trainer.
Over the past decade, Michael has trained thousands of people across the country throughout many different industries and among many of the most successful companies in the nation. His clients consistently report extraordinary impact, increased revenues and an increase in employee attitude, distinguished by character. Every training session has the Chriswell stamp: tremendous IMPACT, extraordinary RETENTION, and compelling RESULTS. Currently he is the President and Founder of www.RevelationsTraining.com and Kickstart Productions, LLC.
Michael resides in Orlando, Florida with his wife Keri and their five children. When he’s not writing, speaking or in front of the camera, he can most likely be found riding dirt bikes with his oldest son, Tyler.
