Their Stories of transformation
"Michael is an exceptional coach."
He has the unique ability to differentiate when it is most effective to listen and empathize and when to challenge and explore ones thinking. His years of experience working in a wide variety of situations with a diverse group of people allows him to share insightful examples and provide powerful advice.
Michael has always been fully attentive and engaged during our coaching sessions. He is open-minded and never judgmental. He is a true partner, creating a safe space for open and honest dialogue. He himself is humble, vulnerable, and willing to give of himself, which has been an example for my own actions, learning, and growth.

"I have never been able to make as much progress"
Over the past 3 years, I’ve worked with and consulted various professionals to work through a restricting leadership habit I’ve developed. I have never been able to make as much progress with anyone as I have with Mike in just 6 sessions. He led his coaching sessions in a way that resonated with me: equally informative and productive as they were comfortable and casual. His expertise and coaching process were both proven effective to help me identify when the habit occurs, and how to progress towards eradicating it from my conditioning. Even weeks later, I think about the tools Mike equipped me on a weekly basis. I am very grateful to learn from someone so knowledgeable, humble, and wise as Mike.
