Why I Coach
I’ve spent my career watching what happens when someone finally sees their own strengths clearly — it changes how they lead, how they show up, and how their teams respond. I coach because I want to create that moment for as many leaders as possible, at every level, in every kind of organization.
Mike and his wife live in Los Angeles County with their two children. Growing up near Hollywood, he’s always been an avid movie fan. He also enjoys reading, travel, tennis, and cycling.
