Personal profile

Twenty years experience managing companies for two International groups including internal consultancy projects in the UK, Europe & North America.

Eclectic mix of 30 years nerdish interest in self-development coupled with extensive business experience, drive, persistence and creativity. Plus 20 years semi professional work as manager/drummer for a West Coast (Cumbria UK not California ) group. If you want creative, off the wall thinking allied to a business mind and Big Goals that's me.
Coaching style This can be a structured coaching process. For example that used by Results the International coaching company with whom I obtained professional training and certification. Alternatively we can use a flexible approach, which I have developed since. Both have proved successful with the business clients I have coached to date. Which method we use will be driven by your needs and personality.
My clients say...

"Like most people prior to attending my 12 week coaching session I was a bit apprehensive as to how much REAL value I would be able to gleam from Life Coaching. I was conscious that there were a lot of areas of my life that needn't attention. I was very aware that work commitments could become all encompassing and interfere with my home life. There was nothing I could do about this because I was so busy. Wrong! I never seemed to have enough money, but what could I do about it, I never have the time. Wrong! I always wanted to have my own business, be my own boss but I would never really be able to do this or take a real step towards doing this. Wrong!

"All these statements (and more!) were proved wrong from the immediate outset with Michael. There were a multitude of valuable lessons that I learnt throughout the 12 weeks. Michael most importantly made me evaluate myself, take a holistic view, to step back and look at my life now."
