“Michael couples his gift of insight with his broad executive experience and delivers his coaching with
both clarity and compassion. He has great listening skills, and the rare ability to distill all that is being
said down to the very heart of the matter. His coaching approach is tailored to each individual’s
personality and unique job challenges. After just a few weeks of working with Michael, I have gained a
clearer perspective on who I am and what I bring to the table, and how to capitalize on both. Beyond the
personality and leadership-style topics, Michael contributes a wealth of ground-level, practical advice in
areas like Board interactions, culture and change management, and salesmanship, to name just a few. It
has been my great fortune and privilege to work with Michael as my executive coach. I have come to
firmly believe that anyone in a leadership position, regardless of experience, would benefit from a
coaching relationship with Michael.” |

“Michael is a trusted advisor and mentor. I would highly recommend him as a leadership coach. He has significant experience in starting and operating companies. He has advised me on accessing capital,
structuring my board and ways of packaging my product line. Michael asks questions - both business and
personal. He listens. And based on what answers are given, he recommends a course of action - not a
cookie-cutter consulting approach. I value Michael's guidance.” |

“Michael was coaching me well before we made it official. I've known and respected him for some time
and recently made him my coach. Coaching can be intimidating in the sense that there's an almost
inherent admission that there is something incomplete or flawed that needs fixing. Michael has the
ability to put you completely at ease and enables you to dig into yourself to explore who you really are.
Not necessarily to fix what's wrong but to enhance what is right.” |
