Coaching for Interesting Leaders

Cut through the noise
Filter out limiting beliefs to expand your possibilities.
Lead from your core

Who I Work With
My clients have spanned:
- Founders and startup leaders building and scaling organizations.
- Executives and senior leaders in nonprofits, corporate strategy, and global health.
- High-potential professionals in HR, L&D, and talent acquisition.
They come to coaching because:
- They’re new executives needing to delegate effectively to scale their impact
- They’re navigating complex transitions with no established playbook
- They’ve hit a ceiling where “trying harder” yields diminishing returns
- They’re experiencing less fulfillment with each achievement
- They’re succeeding externally while managing internal self-doubt, seeking more ease and flow
Testimonials
His insightful approach, especially in guiding me to discover solutions through thoughtful conversations, has been transformative. Through our sessions I feel that I gained a deeper understanding of how to support and guide my team’s career progression while also growing in my own leadership role. His coaching has helped me realize how much room I still had to grow, and I’m proud of the progress I’ve made and how to take a step back, reflect, and act with intention, and I look forward to continuing to develop with these skills in mind.
– Charlie, Executive Director, Non-Profit Organization
Within a few sessions with Michael, I realized that this work was critical to my ability to move forward as a leader. Michael not only helped me see my leadership superpowers, but even more importantly, my blind spots, and to make connections between my past experiences and how those impact my communication. The tools he shared were specific, useful, and insightful, deepening our sessions together. Coaching with Michael has truly changed the way I work and lead.
– Adrienne Ellis, Director of Strategic Initiatives, The Centers
What sets him apart is his ability to guide without directly solving problems; he empowers individuals to uncover their own solutions. His skill in unraveling questions and getting to the root of the matter makes every session deeply impactful…. Having experienced his coaching support all the way from India, I can confidently say that his dedication transcends boundaries. I highly recommend Mike to anyone seeking a coach who inspires growth, self-reliance, and long-term transformation.

About Me
I’ve worked across industries—music, education, startups, and leadership development—and I know what it’s like to pivot, adapt, and build something new.
I started my career as an opera singer, composer, and educator, then transitioned into coaching, talent strategy, and consulting. Before coaching, I worked with startup founders, creative teams, and corporate leaders—helping them scale, hire, and lead with impact.
