Michael G. Cooley Biography
Michael G. Cooley is a keynote speaker, author, and business executive known for his journey from homelessness and addiction to corporate leadership. Cooley grew up in challenging circumstances, experiencing instability and abuse during his childhood and adolescence. As a teenager, he became involved with gangs and drugs, which led to periods of homelessness.
Cooley drew on these life experiences to write his memoir, "Rock Bottom: From the Streets to Success." The book chronicles his path from a troubled youth to achieving success in business and personal life, resonating with readers interested in resilience, personal transformation, and overcoming adversity. The memoir established Cooley as a credible voice in the fields of business leadership, addiction recovery, and personal development.
With more than 20 years of experience as a business leader and senior executive, Cooley has served as CEO of an established company and frequently speaks nationwide. His keynote presentations cover topics such as change management, peak performance, business leadership, health and wellness, personal growth, empowerment, overcoming adversity, mental health, faith and religion, and addiction recovery. Cooley's openness about his struggles with abuse, addiction, and homelessness has influenced audiences across the country, encouraging others to share their own experiences and seek support.
Cooley has been a featured author at the Association of Rhode Island Authors Expo and has spoken at events including East Bay Education Collaborative, Community College of Rhode Island, and Bryant University. He has also worked on a business-focused book detailing the steps he took to advance his career. Whether addressing corporate audiences, students, or individuals in recovery, Cooley emphasizes authenticity and the possibility of personal and professional growth, regardless of past challenges.
