Michael Crossland is an extraordinary young man who has defied the odds of a life threatening cancer to build a life of exceptional achievements. An accomplished businessman and an elite sportsman, his life is a remarkable success.

Many thanks for visiting the community of Alice Springs. Your inspirational talks touched many in our community, from High School students sitting for exams, budding sporting heroes, to our business community. Business owners have said they have been energised with new enthusiasm and your presentations have given them the opportunity to review their goals. Nothing seems to be unachievable if they focus on their goals and hopefully they will be able to make a difference to their employees and their community. You have touched many people’s lives with your positive outlook on life.
Kay Eade, Executive Officer - Central Australia Chamber of Commerce Northern Territory

Thank you for agreeing to speak at the recent 2011 Regional Development Australia – Northern Inland Innovation Awards. Your presentation was refreshing, inspirational and most of all a very important reality check for all attendees. Your ‘positive’ attitude impacted greatly on the individuals, regional businesses and sponsors involved on the night. Your presentation created a connection and mutual ground amongst the attendees generating conversation on a topic that everyone could relate to. It is for this reason that it is important to facilitate the engagement between regional communities and people such as yourself to encourage community support and spirit that appears to be in decline due to varying circumstances.
Kim-Trieste Hastings, Senior Project Officer - Regional Development Australia – Northern Inland

Your life challenges and the way you have tackled them are nothing short of inspirational. We all enjoyed your sessions immensely. May you continued to be blessed with strength, courage and wisdom.
Gill Fish, Director - Brand New Solutions

Not only did Michael share his truly remarkable story with my organisation, he also delivered a training session on how to be a more effective person, particularly relating to sales. Michael’s inspirational story set the tone by demonstrating how belief, integrity and a positive attitude combine to make anything possible. His message has inspired me to be more compassionate, understanding and appreciative for the simple things. Michael took the time to connect with my business which ensured he was able to deliver highly relevant, credible and moving presentations.
Justin Diamond, Managing Director – Rose-Hip Vital

Michael, your eyes told me much about you not just your words. That of someone who has been truly touched by God, that has been through burning fire, yet has come out so refined, who has been hurt horrifically, but holds no grudges nor anger, you are genuine, humble in spirit, gentle & kind. Through you I have been blessed Angela Charlesworth – Century 21 Showcase Real-Estate – Highland, California

"Michael, it’s good to know someone like you is touching people’s hearts & giving them hope. Yesterday I saw a lot of people that had little to look forward to & you changed that for them, you do know you are an angel sent from god, put on this earth to touch fractured souls & help them find their identity & place on this earth.... Thankyou"

I want to thank you Michael for your powerful and moving contribution to our sporting organisation.. Coming to speak to our team after a 7 game losing streak was exactly what we needed… Your ability to emotionally connect with each of our players and staff was truly inspirational. Your words hit our hearts and we want to personally thank you for not only making our team and organisation much more successful but we feel that we are now greater human beings. Our now 8 game winning streak is proof that you have given us the belief that dreams can come true.

You made a difference today. Words somehow fall short in such situations. I was inspired and delighted by your message and I lit a candle for my late father, you are an inspiration.

Your speech focused the minds of my unit's members on the scale of tragedy faced by many, the power of positive thinking in overcoming adversity, and on the importance of self contribution. Many of my team were visibly moved by your words.
