Mike Martin - Dr Mike Martin

Dr Mike Martin is a high-performance thinking expert. His passion is helping results-driven professionals take their performance to the next level – no matter how successful they already are.

Mike has worked with Olympic Gold Medalists, World Champions and World Record Holders, when he was Head of Performance Psychology at the Australian Institute of Sport, as well as some serious high performers from the worlds of finance, entertainment, medicine, defence and business.

He challenges audiences to examine how they’ll tackle the inevitable adversity on the road to success, and why continuous high performance and profits demands a counterintuitive mindset that means the death of traditional “positive thinking†strategies.

Mike confronts existing concepts around motivation and performance, promoting the new, next-generation science of success so individuals and teams get focused and get results.

Mike is provocative, irreverent and truth-telling… but most importantly, he’s effective and will upgrade the way performers think about what it really takes to succeed, and change the way they make success happen.

Mike is the author of Upgrade – The New Psychology For Success.
