Executive coaching for leaders & top teams

I work with senior leaders and top teams, helping them develop more sophisticated ways of working with human behaviour. This establishes the foundation for a more satisfying experience of work and life

I work with senior leaders in the following areas

Leadership Presence

Developing signature leadership presence for influence and impact

Founding partnerships

Strengthening core team relationships to navigate early stage growth

Leading change

Nuanced approaches to leading others into new terrain

Thought partnering

An environment for open, candid reflection

What past clients have said

I highly recommend Michael as an invaluable asset to my career. His expertise has transformed my professional journey, equipping me with the necessary tools to overcome challenges and thrive in a demanding work environment. He has helped me become more conscious about my relationship to work and the future.
Agile Scrum MasterCzech Republic
Mike has been instrumental in enhancing and accelerating my personal and professional transformation over the last 2-3 years. He has the IQ and EQ firepower I had long been searching for in a coach, coupled with the magic that all impactful coaches and consultants need to turn theory into practical progress.
Senior partnerUS Accounting Practice
I have been working with Michael as a coach over the past year. I have found the process to be extremely rewarding and connected with Michael immediately. Being able to navigate corporate challenges through an independent medium has been extremely useful. His advice and independent perspective is something I have come to value and would recommend his services for anyone considering this type of facilitation.

Michael’s approach is to create a consistent feeling of ease and comfort in our sessions. This has helped us build trust very quickly. It can feel more like a fireside chat with a friend than a coaching session, but much more real conversations and greater outcomes are the result.

My time working with Michael has been valuable in unlocking potential, overcoming obstacles, and enhancing professional performance. A journey of self-reflection I’d recommend.

Principles that guide my work

  • The core developmental task for a leader is to develop range - with range comes choice, and wise choices make sophisticated leaders
  • Adopting a stance of curiosity is 50% of the work
  • Optimism is a learned skill (and useful stance for a leader)
  • The external world is often a reflection of an internal reality
  • There’s no right way to lead. There’s an authentic way to lead that aligns with an intention
  • Adopting another’s leadership style is a road to ineffectiveness and unhappiness 
  • Leaders are entitled to joy and satisfaction
