Leading motivational speaker, author and coach Michael Finnigan has been transforming businesses, sporting teams and individuals since 1992, after several years of studying and mentorship under the late, great W Clement Stone and his ‘people genius’. On completion of his study in psychological strategies to deliver personal change, Michael set out with one aim…to change millions of lives for the better.

Kicking off his career in developing and achieving peak performance with scientific method and technique at its core, Michael’s first client came in the form of ‘The Whirlwind’, Jimmy White, at a time when he was battling several demons and needed serious help to not only excel in his snooker career and be the best he could be, but to live. The partnership was an incredible success, and as news of Jimmy’s own personal ‘motivator’ spread through the sporting world, Michael found himself quickly in demand from sports stars from around the world. He realised that the principles he had studied for many years to develop leaders and business people to be their best and achieve peak performance, also applied in sport, and soon found himself heavily involved in a successful 7 years at Everton FC, coaching Darren Clarke to win The Open championship in 2011, working behind the scenes with the team and Roberto Martinez when Wigan Athletic triumphed over football giant Manchester City and many more fantastic partnerships including Freddie Flintoff, Phil Neville, the India Cricket Team, the South Africa Cricket Team, South Sydney Rabbitohs and Bolton Wanderers.

In business, Michael has worked internationally for 27 years developing and transforming companies of all shapes and sizes to achieve their goals. A regular feature at many client conferences, Michael has travelled the world speaking to thousands of people with Travel Counsellors, Vodafone, HSBC, Natwest, The British Army, The Police, our incredible NHS and many more, to divulge the science behind our behaviours and how his experience and the techniques used in ‘winning’ with elite sportspeople and teams, can be easily translated into ‘winning’ in the business world. From goal achievement, leadership, vision, mission, values, to endless inspirational and empowering stories from Michael’s partnerships over the years, audiences leave a session with him feeling like they can take on the world. And do! The change seen in behaviours, attitudes and performance after a session with Michael and i2i is phenomenal and the results achieved after applying the knowledge gained  speak for themselves.
