Michael Samuelson
As a co-founder of an internationally recognized health organization and a former CEO, Michael Samuelson understands both the dynamics of running a business and the art of designing effective behavior change products and services. Under his direction, the National Center for Health Promotion built a network of over 4,500 instructors that serviced over 800 medical centers and most of the Fortune 500.
In addition to his experience as a businessman, Samuelson has authored numerous papers, audiotapes, classroom materials, and instructor manuals that have been used by over 2,000,000 individuals and translated into 4 languages. His latest book, "Voices from the Edge," continues to earn praise from international leaders in the fields of business, health, and popular culture, including dust jacket endorsements from Larry King of CNN and Ken Blanchard, author of "The One Minute Manager." He is also the author of "Moments...Not Years."
No stranger to the media, Samuelson has appeared on over 200 television and radio stations throughout North America, and has been interviewed by numerous print publications, including "Newsweek,"
"USA Today," and "The Wall Street Journal." His work in the area of behavior change has been featured on ABC News program, "20/20," CNN, CBS' "Morning Show," and MSNBC's Homepage.
Samuelson is also one of few men to be diagnosed with breast cancer. Told he'd never regain full use of his arm following a radical mastectomy, Samuelson asked his doctor if he could climb a mountain. He was told that while it was possible, the chances for success were slim.
Samuelson responded by trekking across a glacier and climbing two mountain peaks, thereby turning possibility into reality. The following year he climbed 18,000 feet to the base camp of Mt. Everest and the Kumba Ice Falls.
Samuelson speaks out about the power of the possible, about defying the odds, and about building strong support systems.
