MEET MICHAEL
EDUCATION
My deep interest in human behavior, group dynamics, and the power of stretching beyond one's comfort zone began with Outward Bound. I went on to pursue a BA in Recreation from Ithaca College and an MA in Organizational Psychology from Columbia University.
PHILOSOPHY
I partner with clients who want to constructively challenge their status quo in both their business and personal lives. I bring my passions, skills, and curiosity to help clients examine their habits, break down and reframe unproductive thought patterns, and develop more profitable and satisfying behaviors. I empower my clients to embrace a "type two fun" mindset, characterized by a willingness to persevere through uncertainty, endure discomfort, and take risks in pursuit of personal and professional growth.
EXPERIENCE
As a speaker and coach to financial advisors with over 20 years of experience working in the management consulting and financial services sectors, my focus has been on team effectiveness, client retention, business growth, brain health, maximizing performance, and positive work culture. I help my clients
identify and overcome human capital and strategic challenges through providing practice management, executive leadership, personal wellness, and business development coaching and consulting.
