#46 How I Went From Pro Footballer to Coaching Fortune 500 Executives [My Story]
Apply to work with me: https://www.michaelxcampion.com/
I used to be too shy to speak in class.
Now I coach executives, founders, and venture capitalists, how to speak more persuasively.
This is the full story arc - from shy kid in Hong Kong to investment banker, to wine expert, to professional footballer, to entrepreneur, and now keynote speaker and executive coach.
35 minutes of missteps, reinventions, and sliding doors moments that mattered.
From folding t-shirts and waiting tables, to speaking on national TV and coaching execs you see on Bloomberg and CNBC.
It’s a touch vulnerable and quite personal, but maybe it’ll give someone out there the courage to jump and get in the arena.
That would be a win in my eyes.
I made it for anyone who’s ever:
•Felt like they were playing small
•Had something valuable to say, but didn’t know how to say it
•Or simply needed proof that confidence can be built, not inherited
This is the full story of how I learned to speak up, back myself, and why I’m passionate about helping others do the same.
I hope there’s something in it that resonates.
