EXECUTIVE CAREER DEVELOPMENT
Success and Fulfillment in Your Career
Corporate America traps countless high-achieving, values-driven professionals in a psychological prison of their own success. I saw it firsthand while I climbed the ranks in the world of finance.
People felt they could be financially successful or personally fulfilled, but not both.
I’m here to tell you success and meaning can coexist. You can have a thriving career that amplifies your personal values and makes a positive impact.
“I had a big network, a good career. I was doing everything I was trained to do, but something was missing. Michael helped me see I could achieve a life that was both impactful in the world and also nurturing for myself.”

THE PROCESS
How we clarify, simplify, and amplify your impact
Clarify
Articulate your goal
After years climbing a corporate ladder, you can lose sight of what you really want. We’ll clear away the clouds until we’ve uncovered a goal that drives you – your true North Star.
Simplify
Identify your options
You have so many more options than you think you have. Many executives feel stuck in a “comfortable” position they’re afraid to leave or change. I’ll help you see through that fear to the possibility on the other side.
Make a plan to reach your goals
Knowing what you want is one thing. Knowing how to get there is another. We’ll chart a clear path to your new, expanded version of success.
Amplify
Build your leadership brand
You are not starting over. You’ve built a successful career already, and we’ll draw on that to advance your new goals. We’ll identify your leadership style, establish healthy boundaries, and amplify your ability to inspire others.
Execute your plan
As you embark on your new path, I’ll help you maintain your focus, navigate obstacles, and keep the faith. Once we remove your constraints and lean into your strengths, you’ll discover your own path to success.
“I knew what I wanted to build, but there’s a lot of territory between where I was and that ultimate goal. Michael helped me create a viable plan to bring that vision to fruition and generate income along the way.”
