The coaching process

Making a decision about coaching is daunting; Do I really need it? Who’s the best person to work with? Is now the right time?… The best way to answer these questions is by starting – talk to a range of coaches and be guided by how you respond. Be willing to change course as the process unfolds.

I offer a no cost, 45min call to support prospective clients with this decision. This gives me a sense of whether I can offer meaningful support to the client’s situation, and allows the client to gauge compatibility. 

The work typically begins with an engagement of 6 months, usually including a structured 360 data collection process (this provides cover for any blind spots that would otherwise not enter the conversation). This is the minimum recommended time for meaningful change to take place. 

The cadence, length of sessions, review periods, etc are all tailored to suit the needs of the client. Between sessions, I send material to prompt reflection and support growth. 

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

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.
