One-on-One Conversations at the intersection of
psychology and execution
Effective high performance coaching has a significant impact on employee engagement, loyalty, and overall contribution to the bottom line.
Providing coaching services to those working in a high stakes environment can help high achieving individuals navigate challenging situations and regain their confidence and effectiveness. The coaching relationship is built on trust and confidentiality, allowing the individual to be vulnerable without any judgement. Michael uses research-backed tools and techniques to help clients identify areas of strength as well as limitations that they may not be aware of. This assessment is the foundation for identifying and achieving goals. Coaching is specific in its end game – helping to become the ideal version of oneself.
COACHING
Clients schedule as much time as they need without incurring additional costs or having to wait for the ‘next session’ to engage in coaching conversations. Engagements are month to month—there is no ‘package’ purchase required.
Agendaless but Accountability Oriented - Engagements are driven by client concerns and needs. Outcomes are the product of identifying goals, resources needed, and results measurement.
Growth Oriented & Strength Focused - Changing what is to what could be hinges on stretching the comfort zone AND using existing strengths. Michael's coaching style uses 360 feedback, psychometrics, and straightforward talk to encourage new habits while protecting useful ones. During coaching sessions, he will serve as your thought partner and confidante, pushing you to envision and achieve better outcomes. He will challenge you by providing the tough feedback others may not and help you build resilience so that when challenges arise, you’ll be better prepared to handle them with confidence and clarity. Together, you will look at how you can learn from mistakes, understand the power of failure, and use the lessons learned to create meaningful and lasting change.
Possible coaching topics include creating a "wow" experience, vision & company culture, successful teams, leadership, effective communication, impactful presentations, and public speaking.
