Michael Jeh

Educator and public speaker based in Brisbane, Australia.

Michael is passionate about finding ways to engage with people across issues like Domestic Violence, bullying, racism and Inclusion. He's a guest speaker and educator/facilitator at schools, universities, corporate settings and with elite sporting codes. He has worked with Rugby Australia as their education provider in their “lifeskills” program since 2008.

One of the things that really drives Michael is a project called A Few Good Men. It’s essentially a men’s revolution, a movement aimed at getting us men to take total ownership of the way they treat women.

Violence against women is one of the great unspoken tragedies of our time and the amazing thing about it is that it can only be fixed by one group in society – men!

Michael is a White Ribbon Ambassador, which means he stands up, speaks up and acts to prevent men’s violence against women. This complements the work he does with the MATE Bystander Education program at Griffith University where he is one of their lead facilitators. He also runs lifeskills programs for elite sporting teams, schools and community groups.

Michael is a journalist and writer. He writes on cricket issues for one of India's biggest newspapers, Mid-day. Previously, he was a writer for ESPN Cricinfo for 8 years. He was a regular contributor to The Drum website on the ABC and prior to that, he was Manager of the Griffith University Sports College where he worked for 10 years after returning from playing first-class and professional cricket in the UK.

Testimonial

"We were thrilled to have Michael as a keynote speaker at the 2023 No to Violence conference. He spoke from the heart to the hearts of delegates. His messaging clear, his dedication and passion for advocacy work in the family and domestic violence space shone through. Michael is a thoughtful, confident and inclusive presenter, with many other speakers referencing his keynote throughout the conference. We're so happy to have included Michael in our program this year."

No To Violence

"Michael Jeh has proven to be an excellent coordinator, outstanding presenter and very proactive and adaptable to the needs of Rugby Australia and most importantly the players."

Rugby Australia

"Cricket Australia had Michael present at our U17 National Championships and he was such a well-received speaker by the players. Not only was he entertaining, his messaging and his engaging delivery style is second to none. It is always a joy to work with Michael, he collaborates and clearly identifies where he can impact an education session. We look forward to working with him much more in the future."

Cricket Australia

"These skills are vital to any young athlete who intends to make a life in sport and it’s great that someone’s doing something to create good role models rather than fixing problems later in their career."

Libby Trickett, Olympic gold medallist

"Michael worked collaboratively and professionally with us prior to the workshop, seeking to tailor his messages and method for greater effectiveness. The results are still prevalent well after the time Michael spent with us. I could not recommend Michael more highly. He is a true professional with a unique life story and an extraordinary understanding of contemporary issues facing young student athletes and future sporting role-models."

St. Joseph’s Nudgee College

"Your presentation was cleverly crafted, capturing the interest of all participants. The content was extremely relevant and presented in a way that hooked the students and delivered a clear message that will be of benefit in their work as school leaders and in their lives beyond the school gate."
