Coach M J Tolan is a TEDx Speaker, 8-time best-selling author, and two-time cancer warrior whose life’s work is anchored in one mission: helping people rise—especially children who need hope the most.
-
While he’s widely known for leadership books such as Executive Powers: Cracking the Code to Magnetic Leadership and Unleashing Firepower, his proudest activity is serving kids in need.
-
In November 2000, Coach MJ co-founded Time4sharing, a global charity initiative born in Prague and built on a simple belief: every child deserves a day that reminds them they matter.
-
For more than 25 years, he has helped lead and grow Time4sharing’s Mission: I’M Possible programs Empowerment Days and special events created for children facing poverty, hardship, and cancer.
-
What began as a local act of compassion evolved into a worldwide movement powered by volunteers, sponsors, and partners who donate time, resources, and love.
-
To date, Time4sharing’s Mission I’M Possible team delivered over 150 events across multiple countries and positively impacted more than 17,000 children.
-
Coach MJ’s personal journey as a two-time survivor fuels the heart of the mission, especially the organization’s commitment to supporting children battling cancer and the communities that care for them.
-
Whether he’s on a stage, in a hospital, or rallying teams across borders, his message is consistent: courage can be taught, dignity can be restored, and hope is a leadership act.
-
His latest children’s book, ‘The I’M Possible Adventures of Boomer the Kangaroo’ depicts his own medical journey through the charities mascot boomer the Kangaroo.
-
His rallying cry—“I’M Possible”—is more than a motto. It’s a promise to every child: you are seen, you are valued, and your future still counts because nothing is Impossible when you have the right attitude of I Am Possible!
