Top rated!Michael Altshuler helps organizations close the Knowing-Doing Gap by giving audiences the mindset, strategies and motivation to take what they already know and consistently put it into action.
Michael Altshuler is a high-energy keynote speaker, entrepreneur, bestselling author, sales strategist and performance authority who helps organizations close the Knowing-Doing Gap, the costly distance between ideas and execution.
His message is built around a simple truth: Success isn't determined simply by what you know. It's determined by what you consistently DO with what you know.
Drawing from decades of real-world experience, remarkable successes, as well as, major setbacks (and comebacks), Michael combines powerful storytelling, humor, audience interaction, actionable strategies and even magic to help audiences strengthen resilience, elevate performance and turn powerful ideas into consistent action.
After being fired from his first professional sales job at 21, Michael started a company from his 650-square-foot apartment and built it into a multimillion-dollar business that he later sold to $5 billion industry giant IKON Office Solutions.
Along the way, he broke sales records, closed seven-figure deals and tested himself physically and mentally as a competitor on the nationally televised hit show American Gladiators.
But Michael's story isn't simply about winning.
Those highs and lows give Michael a rare ability to speak authentically about success, failure, resilience and what it takes to keep moving forward when things don't go according to plan.
Michael works closely with organizations to understand their challenges, objectives and desired outcomes, customizing his programs around Sales, Peak Performance, Leadership, Communication, Resilience, Mindset and Execution.
His honors include the New Jersey Governor's Cup for Entrepreneurial Excellence, Atlantic City Entrepreneur of the Year and The Salvation Army Community Builder Award. He has been featured by ABC, NBC and The New York Times and in Harvey Mackay's bestselling book, We Got Fired!
And yes...there's magic.
An accomplished magician, Michael can also perform mind-blowing strolling magic at receptions and networking events—giving attendees an experience they'll never forget and meeting planners an unusual combination few keynote speakers can offer.
If you want to create an experience that won't be forgotten. And turn principles into practice that deliver measurable results, Michael is your man.
