In the world of sports, few names resonate with the sheer dominance, determination, and triumph like Michael Johnson. A four-time Olympic champion and eight-time world champion, he created a remarkable legacy with a sequence of 58 consecutive wins over 400 meters and 32 winning streaks over 200 metres. He is the only person to hold both the 200 meters and 400 meters world records and is the only male athlete to defend successfully the Olympic 400 meters crown. After leaving the track, Michael’s journey took another inspiring turn. In addition to successfully pivoting to become an award-winning commentator and presenter, Michael has also started Michal Johnson Performance in 2007 with a mission to helping other athletes reach their full potential. His career reinvention didn’t stop there, today Michal is a sought-after business performance speaker and coach, transferring key insights from Olympic performance into business success. Michael’s journey truly embodies the essence of relentless pursuit and commitment to excellence, high performance, and courageous personal and career reinvention.

We couldn’t have imagined a more fitting keynote speaker for the 25th OPEX Week: Business Transformation World Summit where his dedication for performance, hard work and determination will undoubtedly be a huge inspiration to all our business and transformation leaders. They, too, are faced with similar challenges and seek excellence and greatness in their daily transformation endeavours. We absolutely look forward to an electrifying conversation with the legend himself where the attendees get to unpack the key principles that fuelled Michael’s success—discipline, resilience, and the pursuit of greatness. Through riveting storytelling and personal anecdotes, the conversation will also explore the mindset required to overcome obstacles, set audacious goals, and turn challenges into opportunities for growth.

Anticipation mounts for an unforgettable experience with the one and only Michael Johnson. We simply cannot wait to hear from him his powerful message and actionable strategies that will challenge, inspire and empower you to unleash the champion within yourself.
