As a Motivational Speaker, my life is dedicated to moving people from an uneasy time in their lives to a place of peace. I don’t change their circumstances, but I help change their perspective.
I help them understand that it’s not about the destination, but the battles won along the way. I encourage them to hold on and understand that bad doesn’t look bad when there is good in it.
People will follow you if you inspire them. I work hard to inspire, lead, encourage, and celebrate the people that come into my life.
Always…Be Encouraged!

Michael will ignite any room for your next meeting, event, or corporate team-building:
Team building is at the heart of any successful organization and team. To strive for excellence, team members must first learn how to work together toward common goals while improving morale, cohesiveness, and culture. A lack of personal understanding and empathy toward cultural diversity can lead to problems such as tension, disappointment, hurt feelings, unmet expectations, and poor communication, which can result in poor performance.
Research indicates that when organizations incorporate team-building strategies into their culture, it creates a sense of belonging, encourages tolerance and team spirit, improves communication skills, and creates an atmosphere of community.
Michael Arterberry encourages leaders and team members to share on a personal level, enabling them to build and strengthen relationships and better understand one another.
Master Encourager, Dynamic Motivational Speaker, and Author
Grateful for the guidance and support of positive adult role models as a teenager, Michael dedicated his professional life to helping people navigate life's difficulties and launch their future into motion. For more than 25 years, he has been helping teens and adults to use what they have gone through as a catalyst for success rather than an obstacle for failure.
Michael is the recipient of the 2010 USA Networkโs Characters Unite Award, the (phone number hidden) Men of Color Award, and the Y-COP Educator of the Year Award.
Using his experiences, compassion, and unique ability to meet teens where they are, Michael founded Youth Voices Center, Inc., to help young people overcome obstacles, history, stereotypes, and even their self-image and limiting beliefs to lead extraordinary lives.
