Michael Cortes
Michael Cortes works with organizations and people who want to equip scared, anxious parents with the confidence and tools to face their challenges.
Michael Cortes is the Technology Director of the Fort LeBoeuf School District in Northwest Pennsylvania, a speaker, and a presentation coach.
While fortunes may have given him a leadership role by making him the oldest child in his family, he has found that the leadership lessons he learned in the Marine Corps have always held true and faithful to building relationships and teams at work and in life. He gives back to veterans as a member of the American Legion and has contributed to his local technical school through the advisory council.
He recently was asked if leadership is a contest, and he replied, "If leadership is a contest, then the prize is a great team." His greatest joy is in learning and helping others. Therefore, he hopes to live the rest of his life helping people reach higher and improving himself in the process.
His specialties include computer networks, K-12 education, government reporting and auditing, public speaking, presentation coaching, persuasion techniques in public speaking, planning, budgeting, and the Pa Information Management System (PIMS).
He has led the Oratorical Committee of the American Legion's Department of Pennsylvania since 2020. On three occasions, he has led his Toastmasters Clubs and Toastmasters Area to distinguished status, during his membership with Toastmasters International. As Technology Director for the past 18 years, he has expanded the use of technology from local computers numbering at 428 to an infrastructure that now includes a wide area network, over 1300 devices and universal access to the Internet.

Marine Corps to Dad Corps, Leadership is Transferable to business and parenting
Leadership skills learned in the Marine Corps have transferred with me to all aspects of life. You can use leadership skills to carry you through your journey of success. You likely find this success in one of the three most common locations.
- In the workplace, being a better boss and employee.
- In your home, being a better parent than you thought possible.
- In your relationships. Yes, it's really all about relationships anyway!
