Michael J. Boydell

Michael Boydell’s passion is understanding and addressing the unique needs of high-performing individuals, specifically CEOs, executives, elite athletes, YPO forums, global organizations, and their teams. Michael graduated with a BA Psychology from Queen’s University and an MBA from the Richard Ivey School of Business. He is an experienced executive, holding positions as CEO, President, start-up founder and Board member with high-growth, international companies. Michael’s work with Young Presidents Organization as a globally-certified coach draws from his own 19 years of personal Forum experience. His athletic experiences in team sports and endurance-distance triathlon deeply inform his approach.

There aren’t many advisors who know exactly what it’s like on a day-to-day basis. Michael does. Michael launched his advisory business in 2009 to an exclusive CEO client base in the US and Canada and has quickly become a go-to expert for people who want to gain more freedom and self-actualization in their busy lives. In 2015, Michael designed and delivered a leadership program for the International Board of YPO in Osaka, Japan. He is an accredited Board Director, has advanced certification in the Birkman Method and Tilt365 leadership tools, and is the creator of The Fear Less Advantage™ framework for whole-life performance. His methods have been increasingly used as part of one-to-one advisory relationships, off-site Board and corporate retreats, organizational growth strategies, YPO Forum retreats, and as part of company-wide leadership programs. Michael is the author of an upcoming book.
