About Mike Oster
Leaders don’t need more inspiration. They need practical takeaways they can apply in real situations. With over 30 years of military service, including combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan, and more than 20 years as a speaker, trainer, and consultant, I share leadership lessons grounded in experience and focused on real-world application.That focus also shaped my best-selling book, It Starts With Attitude (2019). It is a practical guide to building and sustaining a positive attitude through repeatable habits and daily choices, especially when pressure is high and circumstances are less than ideal.My work focuses on:• Attitude and resilience• Intentional communication, including clarity, accountability, and trust• Teamwork and culture that align people and performance• Inclusion and service-minded leadership that strengthens teamsI deliver keynote presentations, professional development training, strategic planning, and coaching. I am also a franchise owner, which keeps my work grounded in the realities of business operations, service standards, and team performance.For speaking inquiries and availability, click the “Book Mike Oster” link in my Featured section or send me a message.
