R. Michael Anderson

MBA, MA

LDN, UK

Pioneer of Leadership Mindset 2.0, a 3x Book of the Year winner by 2024's Leadership Coach of the Year. Give your leaders exciting content mixed with vulnerable and powerful stories with Michael.

R. Michael Anderson, MBA, MA has a striking combination that creates truly impactful transformation in leaders – he has the real-life business success of founding, scaling and exiting three software companies, plus the educational background of a Masters Degree in Psychology.


This combination gives him the unique ability to connect to other leaders as a peer, then teaches evidence-based leadership skills that genuinely drive behaviour and performance.


It’s the reason that Stanford University brings him into work with their start-up ecosystem, PwC has him work with their high growth CEO’s, and companies like Microsoft, Salesforce, and Uber bring him to level up their managers and executives.


If you have a group of leaders and want to empower them with the tools and strategies that drive long-term performance, then Michael's Leadership Mindset 2.0 will give them what they need to reach those new heights. 


Based on the latest in psychology and neuroscience, Leadership Mindset 2.0 has won three book-of-the-year awards and has earned Michael the Leadership Coach of the Year for 2024.


Michael shares how his Californian companies landed on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing US companies, created a culture so strong that they won the #1 Best Place to work, and Michael himself was honoured as the Social Entrepreneur of the year. In 2005 he held the office of President of the Board of Directors for a chapter of Conscious Capitalism, an international organization dedicated to elevating humanity through business.


A gifted storyteller who shares his failures as much as his successes, the terms “vulnerable”, “authentic”, and “powerful” are often used to describe his presentations.


With his background in psychology and neuroscience, he transforms managers into true leaders with high-performing teams in high-growth companies. He’s written two best-selling business leadership books, contributes to Entrepreneur.com, and is a former radio-show host.


A former professional basketball player, the 6’8” Michael is hard to miss.
