"I had not formally interviewed in 20 years. I thought I could do it on my own but quickly understood I needed help. I turned to Michael's consulting business and immediately he began to assist me in a resume that got recruiter's and perspective employer's attention. In addition he assisted me in my LinkedIn profile that was noticeable and authentic. The coaching sessions improved my ability to communicate effectively my strengths and experience where an employer would understand what I bring to the table if hired. I highly recommend Michael's services for anyone who is legitimately interested in advancing their career, becoming better at what they currently do or to make a job/career change. It was an investment in me; that paid off. It provided me with interview swagger by the time I completed my sessions because I understood how to prepare, how to communicate and how to project with confidence my skills and experience. I credit Michael with my ability to secure a new job with a new company that I am so excited about. I am happy to discuss with anyone who reads this and wants more information; my advice: 'Invest in you through Michael's services; it's worth it'"

"Michael is a great coach and leader, and I am grateful to be part of his Peloton. What I appreciated the most about the program was that it wasn’t just about the next career goal, it was an improvement of self. Each month gave me an opportunity to work on myself as an individual, which translated to making more mindful decisions at work, as well as to my personal life. The support system that Michael created gave me and others a safe space to talk about the good and the not so good, and to appreciate the small wins. Practicing gratitude and PBRing the last year have shifted my mindset for the better!"

"I had the absolute good fortune of selecting Michael as my Coach when I suddenly found my career in transition. Michael was able to help me quickly figure out what I wanted to do with my career as I move to the next chapter in my story. He helped me clarify my values and goals, and align these with my skills and experience to help create a very compelling value proposition of what I had to offer to my next employer. He also helped me continue to move my skills forward as we worked together on assignments in preparation for my next role. This resulted in me getting the perfect role for me and believing that I am set up to have not only success but significance as I live my values with an organization that I believe I can really make a difference with. I am so grateful for all Michael has done for me and give him the highest recommendation as an Executive Coach."
