About Mike
Reinvention and transformation are always within reach.
That’s why I’m a coach. I feel totally alive when I’m tuning into the client and sitting with them. When I feel them start to dig in, settling into deep issues. And when I hear and see a breakthrough, a shift in their energy, a shift in their perspective. When they start to find their grounding. And when I ask a really powerful question or hold silence, and together we see the path beginning to open.
“The essence of what we are, as the foundation for what we can become.”

“The structure of the program helped me feel organized during an uncertain time, but Mike's personality is what made his coaching so useful for me. He's an incredible listener. He would regularly notice threads tying together comments I made (sometimes several weeks apart), which led to incredibly useful insights. His relaxed, conversational approach made the whole process feel really comfortable. I cannot recommend Mike highly enough.”
