How to fall asleep every night with a big ass smile on your face.
The Game
Reinvent Who You Are. My kind of coaching doesn’t promise more of the same, or getting better at how whatever survival merry-go-round you’ve been on. (You’re fully capable of that on your own.) We get you off the wheel and invent a new way of being. You have a sense of it—those moments when you are fully alive & engaged with life, performing at your best, in action, loving life. That can be just how you are all the time.
Career, love, relationships, family, health, money, purpose, creative projects, greater contribution to the world, here’s a hint—we get to the good stuff by creating breakthroughs—coming out on the other side unrecognizable to how you were before.
You get to do this. It’s the “being” part of “human being.” It’s pretty awesome. That’s what we’ll unlock together.
Whatever you’re dealing with: whatever has you stuck, stopped, overwhelmed, confused, anxious, frustrated, repeating the same thing over & over—we get underneath it and shift it from endless survival loops to kicking ass and being fulfilled. You go fall asleep with a big ass smile on your face.

I give you all the sauce. You go at your own pace. Choose your own adventure.
We start with a free 30 min exploratory call. You’ll share what is up for you. I’ll listen for your blind spots and offer some new possibilities. It’s an invitation, no pressure. You’ll get something just from jumping in the pool. I promise.
And we’ll have a blast.
The Method
I’m an Ontological Coach. I see you as a whole, perfect & complete human being undergoing a developmental process. Through a series of energizing conversations, I will offer you new language, practices & discoveries that will open up new actions for you to take in life. We work together to ignite long-term, long-lasting growth, so that you become able to more powerfully create what matters most to you in life.
Unlike what you might have tried so far, coaching puts you to work & get you in action on the court. I will offer you practices, exercises, assignments & specific actions to get you engaged in mastering your own life.
It’s actually quite simple:
Step 1: Diagnostic - What is actually happening?
Step 2: Create Space - Come clean, get authentic, and knock out anything incomplete from the past holding you back.
Step 3: Generate a New Future - In that space, create what you truly want, in detail, create a clear plan.
Step 4: Get in Action - Take consistent action, make mistakes, deal with the breakdowns, get back into action, have a blast.
Sounds easy, but it takes some deep doing. Good!
Who The Hell Am I?
I’m a Certified Coach. There are a lot of people out there who call themselves coaches. I wanted to get the juice—the most powerful tools & frameworks—so when I work with people, they get the best. Certification gives you access to the most effective methodology to create lasting change & transformation. It’s important to me you get the most out of your precious time & money.
I’m an Actor. As a performance artist, I know first hand the demands of needing (and wanting!) to be at your best, every single day, no matter what you’re going through. I pull from powerful storytelling & self-expression techniques that will get you very unstuck, be very present & very alive.
I’m a Nerd. Real coaching draws on rigorous intellectual frameworks. I use hard-hitting ontology & phenomenology to transform your life from the core. It’s not for the faint of heart. There is real power in truly understanding the underpinnings of a discipline. I will share some of this with you, but know that our work lays on strong foundations.
I’m Experienced. I have 1600+ practice hours with over 500 people in your same place. I also have few previous lives—project manager, social worker, public policy lobbyist, copywriter. I coach leaders in Fortune 500 companies like Microsoft, Pfizer, Moderna, JnJ, BlackRock, Bain, JP Morgan Chase, Goldman Sachs, Coca-Cola, Delta, JetBlue, Boeing, GE Healthcare, L'Oréal, Comcast NBC and more to get unstuck and create breakthroughs in high-performance.
I’m Kinda Crazy. I stand for making a damn difference and having a damn blast doing it. If possible, we could even do this in a diner.

Fun fact: Coaching is rooted in applying the powerful insights from philosophy to your actual life. Who knew? I didn’t back then.
My Heroes
“I had been feeling stuck in a rut for months.. Michael was able to pierce through the haze.. and helped me peel back layers of masks I was wearing to survive. After the first session, I reconnected with my mother and brother after years of not speaking. I broke out of my doldrums and finally moved out of my apartment. I’ve since deepened my relationships with the rest of my family, gone on a retreat, and moved to a new home with a new job and finally feel like I’m back in sync with myself. Michael helped remind me to be the author of my life. ”
“I would recommend it to my friends who have some confusion to sort out. Michael can help you organize your thoughts and find new perspectives to crack down on the issues you are facing. If you have a goal but are afraid you might not be able to achieve it, Michael could help you look at it in a more realistic way, to not feel anxious about it.”
“Michael has a special kind of gift. His energy is absolutely infectious, and spending time with him is to become excited by your own possibilities. With Michael the process of change becomes as fun as it is profound. Anyone would be lucky to work with him.”
“I would recommend Michael to those who have a spirit ready to be let out. He helped me tap into different facets of my life and how they overlapped. Whether career or personal, Michael is good at seeing us for who we really are. ”
“Working with Michael was incredibly undivided. He brings in real world experiences in a balanced way that is from a place of pure listening. I got there is the possibility of a new way of living, a new way of looking at life, and a new way of really navigating your life.”
“Michael is such a great listener and asks insightful questions. His gentle and loving approach makes you feel comfortable in sharing what is truly there for you.”
Let’s dance.
