Michael's expertise on the topic of personal growth and self-discovery, along with him spending years as a development and leader coach, helps you to first identify your goals followed by identifying the specific reasons that are holding you back from achieving these goals. For example, a generic goal such as "being happy" must first be broken down into what happiness means to you, followed by identifying the consequences you are experiencing that are contributing to this feeling, along with understanding what is it within us that is holding us back. The challenge is to not see yourself as a victim, but as the victor, who takes charge of their life. Then we can define the work needed to get you where you want to be.

Coaching is an Art and a Science which takes years to master
Effective Coaching is ultimately about forming a confidential, open, candid and trusting relationship with their client. The goal is to initially understand your situation, circumstances and challenges you are experiencing, along with your goals and aspirations. The focus then turns to define a realistic and actionable development plan to move you from current state to your desired future state, and then support you on your journey.
The difference between a good coach and great coach is their experience to educate, challenge, and inspire you to keep your forward momentum, along with strong and relevant experience in human development and the particular situation you are experiencing. When you bring a willingness to be an active participant, an open mind to break through old paradigms & beliefs, along with a sense of adventure, anything is possible!
Anyone today can call themselves a “coach”, but few have acquired the skills, knowledge, experience, knack, and people skills to both guide and challenge you. Great coaches never tell you what to do, or, say “I know the answer”. Instead they help you identify your what and why, and then guide you on the how. This way you own the discovery process, learnings & outcomes, and are more apt to put your learnings into action because they are YOURS, not mine.
