I’M MICHAEL.
I partner with high-performing organizations and individuals looking to bridge the gap between where they are and where they hope to be.
People tend to call me when they feel stuck and need help navigating what comes next.
When the path feels unclear.
When communication feels hard.
When problems aren’t getting solved.
I’m called in for the complicated stuff - navigating that next conversation, that next decision, that next meeting, this next chapter.
Think of me as your wayfinder. One part compass to determine what direction you want to go, and one part guide for ensuring you get there.
Together, we will figure out what comes next.
My passion for entrepreneurship and leadership began with my parents. My dad left a secure 9-5 position to build his own accounting firm and my mom embraced a passion for business and started a toy company out of our house. From an early age, I have witnessed the highs and the lows of being in charge, of making big decisions, of navigating complex choices. I’ve been influenced, inspired and molded by leaders and knew I wanted to create a life where I continued to support them.
My career started with rabbinical studies, which intricately inspired and shaped my approach to leadership. As a rabbi, I’ve developed a unique ability to connect with people on a deeper level to help them explore, define, and understand their purpose and direction as they overcome challenges and move towards their vision. I found that many people who came to me were in need not just of advice, but of a coach to help guide them along the way. As I built up and supervised my team, coaching again was integral.
While coaching has always been central to my work, my training both as a rabbi and as a coach led me to executive advising, speaking + facilitation, which I continue to do today.
