COACHING APPROACH

With over a decade of coaching experience, Mike takes a relationship-first approach—deeply understanding each client’s unique motivations, pressures, and aspirations.  

Mike’s coaching philosophy is anchored in two principles: high engagement through alignment and discipline through habit formation. He helps leaders connect personal and organizational goals so their teams perform with both loyalty and ownership. Drawing inspiration from Atomic Habits, Mike integrates behavior-based systems that enable clients to translate daily consistency into extraordinary outcomes.  

His coaching blends situational guidance with longterm vision. Each engagement begins by defining where a leader wants to be in five or ten years, then working backward to build the mindset, habits, and systems to reach that goal. Utilizing his high emotional intelligence, Mike tailors his approach to each leader’s natural style, helping them sharpen focus, manage change, and lead with clarity.
