MICHAEL BENNER provides personal development services to those seeking to understand the nature of consciousness — to study the mind, search for wisdom, and embody virtue. As an educational alternative to psychotherapy and organized religion, this course of study supports the pursuit of self-actualization and our connection to All Things.

Michael is the author of "Fearless Intelligence — The Extraordinary Wisdom of Awareness." He also wrote and facilitated the breakthrough self-awareness training, "Internal Vigilance," commissioned by the Orange County California Sheriffs Academy. He is well known throughout Southern California for his popular human potential talk radio programs on KABC-AM, KLOS-FM, KLSX-FM, KCBS-FM, KRLA-AM, and most recently on KPFK-FM. He has served as the Sports Psychology Consultant for the U.S.C. Women's Tennis Team and the Burbank Burroughs High School Baseball Team.

Michael left broadcasting as a full-time profession in 1987 to begin his own business, "Personal Development Strategies." With offices near Palm Springs, California, he provides counseling and personal development training to individuals and couples, as well as consulting, training, and coaching for business executives, managers, and teams. As presented by Michael, Personal Development Strategies include self-awareness, emotional intelligence, stress management, critical thinking, peak performance, and relationship management.
