Keynote Speaker 3:45PM - 4:45PM (ET) MICHAEL ALLOSSO is a master communications expert who coaches CEOs and other high level executives both in dynamic presentations as well as effective day to day leadership.

Some details about Michael:

MICHAEL ALLOSSO Motivational Speaker

He has led award winning workshops for leaders and sales teams all over the world and is a much sought after personal coach.

His client base ranges from insurance producers to construction managers, doctors to bankers, actors to politicians.

His experience as a professional theater and film director enables him to quickly identify strengths and weaknesses.

He gives his clients practical tools to fortify their strengths and eliminate their weaknesses.

MICHAEL ALLOSSO’S YOU ON YOUR BEST DAY “performance” offers an entertaining perspective on dynamic and effective leadership. Participants will enhance and upgrade communication skills to maximize efficacy in diverse situations: from sales meetings to the executive office; from the boardroom to home and family life. Allosso demonstrates, illustrates, lists and identifies the skills and talents associated with outstanding actors and coaches. Topping the list is believability and authenticity. Through a heightened sense of focus and concentration, Allosso “brings it” every second and helps the audience to do the same. The approach is that there should be a seamless transition from excellence in business leadership to excellence in every daily interaction.

Formal presentations are heightened dialogues; speeches are conversations.

Allosso not only speaks, but he makes the audience do, all the while observing and sharing his candid observations through a unique blend of role-playing, anecdotes, passion and experience. Allosso models everything he talks about in a fast-paced, fun and informative romp through communication and leadership excellence.
