Over the last 15 years, I've helped hundreds of CEOs become intentional, resilient, high-EQ leaders — giving them the tools they need to build the business and life they actually want.
I trained as a coach and facilitator at the Stanford Graduate School of Business and the Harvard School of Education, and I'm the author of the best-selling leadership development book, The Inside-Out Effect.
My work today focuses on helping Series B+ CEOs develop the inner and interpersonal skills that are rarely taught, but make all the difference.
"Michael has been the perfect partner in my journey to become a better leader and a better human."
"This is the single best workshop I've ever participated in. The value for me and my company will be lasting."
“Wow. Eye opening. I loved it.”
“Thanks for an unforgettable experience. I’m a better leader because of it.”
“The concepts and skills I learned during the retreat were truly illuminating."
"Michael's biggest impact has been helping me build systems to make a strong transition from founder to CEO."
"This retreat produces guaranteed epiphanies that you can translate into meaningful action."
"Michael has helped me improve my self-awareness and communication skills, which has had a huge impact on how effectively I lead and execute with my team."
"If you want to level up your leadership game in a way that simultaneously humanizes you and those around you, you need to work with Michael right now."
"This retreat transformed how I lead, communicate, and connect with others - both professionally and personally."
"Michael keeps me accountable, and helps me actually achieve the growth I most want as a leader. He challenges me directly, but makes it so much fun."
"In the right hands, Michael's coaching is easily worth 100x if not 1,000x his fee. If you have a chance to work with him, I highly recommend it."
"For any CEO looking for both practical leadership skills and real personal growth, Michael is the rare coach who delivers both. I can’t recommend him enough."
"Michael has been the best investment I've ever made into my personal and professional life. He has changed my life in profound ways."
"Being a start-up CEO is a constantly evolving role, and having a guide like Michael to help you identify your blind-spots at different moments is absolutely essential."
"Working with Michael these last few years has been a transformational experience."
"One of the best parts of working with Michael was looking back and seeing how much I had grown as a leader."
"Michael blends direct and frank accountability with the warmth of a friend and supporter. He is a true coach "in your corner" of the arena."
