Michael Mol is best known as one of South Africa 's top TV presenters, having co-hosted Top Billing (SA's longest running prime magazine show ever) for the last five years.  Besides his TV work, he is a sought after MC, presenter and transformational speaker, and has in recent years been shifting his emphasis to assisting people and organisations understand the basis for truly significant living.  "From success to significance" is a phrase you will hear often from him.

Michael grew up in Pretoria , where he studied and completed his training as a medical doctor in 1995, with an MBChB from the University of Pretoria .  He quickly added a Diploma in Primary Emergency Care (Dip PEC) and qualified in Advanced Trauma, Cardiac & Paediatric Life Support (APLS, ATLS, ACLS).  His medical experience includes 2 years as Senior HO in an Emergency unit, and 1 year as the Emergency Flight Physician on one of only two Medical Emergency Choppers serving Gauteng .

He then entered (and much to his surprise) won the Mr South Africa competition, and this allowed him to launch a career in the media.  Michael grabbed the opportunity with both hands, and has rapidly made a name for himself as a superlative communicator, and gifted commentator on life.  Besides the regular plaudits of audiences, he has received a number of industry accolades, including the NTVA Award for Best On Camera Presentation (2000, 2001, and 2003), and the NTVA Award in 2001 for Scriptwriter for the programme.

As a Master of Ceremonies, he has few equals, and is much sought after around the world.  Some of his personal highlights include:  Miss South Africa 1998 (live broadcast), Miss South Africa Teen (1999, 2000, 2001 - all live broadcasts), Miss Africa 2001, 2002 (live broadcast across Africa, Asia & Europe to 350 million viewers), Kora All Africa Music Awards 2001 (live broadcast across Africa, Asia & Europe) , and the SAPPI wards 2001 ( Hong Kong ).

Michael's passion for understanding the world around him has led him to make a subtle shift in emphasis by joining a futurist consultancy, in 2004.  This shift will allow him to devote more time to working with individuals and organisations, helping them to understand the way the world works, trends that will affect us in the future, and what to do today to be ready for them.  In particular, Michael has a passion for helping people find true significance and a holistic, balanced approach to the world they live in.  This combines his medical training, his life experiences and his business skills in a truly unique blend that sets him aside from the average motivational or inspirational speaker.

He is the only member of the Tomorrow Today team that doesn't need to use Afrikaans in self-defence only - he is fluent in English and Afrikaans!

Michael has been married to Jacqui since 1994, and has two children, Joshua (3 yrs) and Rachael (1 yr).  They live happily in Cape Town , South Africa , where Michael indulges in all sorts of reckless activities.
