Book Michał Piosik for your event

Michał Piosik is an entrepreneur, investor and mental health advocate who brings together business experience and deeply personal life lessons in a way that resonates with audiences across industries. His keynotes explore what it truly means to perform at a high level without losing yourself along the way, offering honest reflections, practical perspectives and meaningful inspiration.

His professional journey has been anything but ordinary. From working in banking to becoming a serial entrepreneur, restaurateur, startup founder, investor and venture builder, Michał has experienced both rapid growth and significant personal challenges. Those experiences have shaped the way he approaches leadership, performance and success today.

What makes his story stand out is his openness. Rather than presenting success as a straight line, Michał speaks candidly about living with ADHD, experiencing depression and learning how those challenges transformed both his personal life and professional ambitions. His talks encourage audiences to rethink traditional ideas of achievement and recognise that sustainable performance begins with mental wellbeing.

Entrepreneurship, performance and purpose

Throughout his career, Michał has founded and supported businesses in several industries while also launching a sustainable food startup accelerator and venture capital fund. Working closely with ambitious entrepreneurs has given him first-hand insight into the pressure, uncertainty and responsibility that come with building companies.

Today, he works with top-tier founders to optimise both their business performance and their quality of life. His approach goes beyond productivity. Instead, he focuses on helping leaders build resilience, develop healthier habits, improve decision-making and create lives that feel as rewarding as the businesses they are building.

His keynotes challenge audiences to ask important questions:

• What does sustainable success actually look like?
• How can high performers protect their mental health without lowering their ambitions?
• How do personal struggles become a source of strength and leadership?
• Why is life enjoyment an essential part of long-term performance?

Drawing on both personal experience and years of working alongside entrepreneurs, Michał delivers ideas that are relatable, practical and thought-provoking.

A personal mission driven by experience

Michał's mission reaches far beyond business. Having personally experienced ADHD and depression, he has committed himself to helping one million people facing a depression crisis. This purpose is at the heart of every keynote he delivers.

Rather than speaking about mental health from a distance, he shares his own experiences with honesty and authenticity. Audiences appreciate his ability to address difficult subjects without stigma, creating conversations that are both empowering and hopeful.

His talks remind leaders, founders and professionals that vulnerability is not a weakness. It is often the starting point for stronger leadership, healthier teams and more meaningful lives.

Whether speaking to entrepreneurs, executives or broader corporate audiences, Michał helps normalise conversations around mental wellbeing while providing practical ways to recognise challenges, improve resilience and build healthier work environments.

A keynote that creates lasting impact

Michał Piosik delivers keynotes that combine entrepreneurial insight, personal storytelling and a powerful social mission. His presentations inspire audiences to think differently about success, ambition and wellbeing while leaving them with practical ideas they can apply in both their professional and personal lives.

His background as a former banker, serial entrepreneur, restaurateur, investor and founder allows him to connect naturally with ambitious professionals, while his openness about ADHD and depression creates an authentic connection that few speakers can offer.

Every keynote also supports a cause greater than the event itself. Michał donates all income from his speaking engagements to foundations dedicated to children's mental health, ensuring that each event contributes directly to supporting young people in need.

For organisations looking to inspire resilience, promote healthier leadership, encourage open conversations about mental health and redefine what sustainable high performance looks like, Michał Piosik delivers a keynote that is honest, engaging and genuinely impactful. His combination of entrepreneurial credibility, personal experience and clear sense of purpose makes him a memorable speaker for conferences, leadership events, company gatherings and founder communities alike.
