About

Hi, I’m Michael Laidler

Keynote Speaker | Leadership Coach | Law Enforcement Trainer

IT IS SIMPLE, CREATE YOUR LEGACY!

I was born and raised in Miami, Florida, by a single mother and my grandmother. With no father around, I had to learn how to lead myself before I learned how to lead others. I had to learn how to survive my surroundings, moving every year just to stay above water.

At the age of 19 years old, I entered the law enforcement industry as a police officer in Tallahassee, Florida. During my time, I became a Field Training Officer (FTO) and earned the Life Savings Award. At 23 years old, I shifted law enforcement agencies and became a Border Patrol Agent in Laredo, Texas. I was a member of specialized field units as well as a K-9 Handler. As I sought more challenging roles, I joined the Federal Bureau of Prisons. I held positions of increasingly greater responsibility to include Correctional Officer, Special Investigative Services Technician, Lieutenant, Special Investigative Agent and Employee Development Manager. Each of these roles developed my expertise as a law enforcement officer.

I earned a Master's degree in Business Administration from Morehead State University and a Bachelor's degree in Business and Spanish from Florida State University. I proudly serve as the Area Director for Toastmasters in Beaumont, Texas. I also served as Vice President and President of the Confident Allies Toastmasters Club in Pineville, Louisiana, where I have received multiple awards, including Distinguished Toastmaster, First Place in the Toastmasters International Speech contest and the Evaluation Contests at the Division Level.

Based on this abundance of education and experience, I am driven on developing self-awareness and leadership skills in law enforcement officers. I conduct keynote presentations, facilitate numerous mastermind groups, provide one-on-one leadership coaching and host leadership workshops. Ultimately, I am on a mission to impart the necessary personal development skills for law enforcement officers to operate at full capacity in any situation.

In 2017, I put all of my education and experience together and opened Michael Laidler Unlimited. My mission and vision statements are:

I am looking forward to assisting you on your journey to becoming a successful law enforcement officer.
