He is very well organized and helped me to create and stick to ambitious but achievable goals. He became a close confidant and I always looked forward to speaking with Michael. I am a better leader now because of our work together.”

He is incredibly personable, warm, approachable, and goes over and above to get to know you, as well as your work and personal environment. His style is quite collaborative, working with you to understand what you want and what success would look like. He is great at following up, evaluating what works and what doesn’t, and dynamically adjusting goals as needed. I would recommend him for anyone looking for a partner in thinking about the next stage of life and how to keep growing.”
