Frequently Asked Questions
All about working with me...
What can I expect from coaching with Mike?
I begin with listening – really listening to you and what’s on your mind.
Within the first few minutes of our time together, you and I will identify a specific goal you’d like to achieve, and we start discussing it right away.
Clients walk away from our sessions energized and with specific steps they’ll take to make their goals a reality.
How long does a typical coaching engagement last?
Typical coaching arrangements start with a handful of sessions, and my approach helps clients realize their goals and objectives fast.
In many cases, men see significant benefits from the very first sessions – and can continue or defer more work as needed.
My no-nonsense style helps get you where you want to go faster.
Is there a particular type of professional or personal challenge you specialize in?
I help successful professional men improve performance at work – and find peace & confidence at home.
As an experienced executive and advisor with decades of experience, I can help you seek and find solutions for issues at work – and help you address issues with marriage, family, friends and the community.
What makes your coaching approach unique?
I’ve walked miles in your shoes – working as a professional around the world with some of the world’s largest companies, from entry level to senior executive positions.
I’ve made some great decisions – and plenty of mistakes – so I can help you think about career options in new and inventive ways.
Plus: I’ve been inside marriages and relationships good and bad, so I can help you understand your spouse, your kids, your friends and others in your network with new perspectives.
How are coaching sessions conducted?
We’ll conduct our work together via the privacy of Zoom.
We’ll schedule a time for our session, and I’ll send you a confidential link for your use only.
Plan to arrive a few minutes early so we can get right to business during our session.
How do I know if I am a good candidate for coaching?
Courageous Coaching takes, well, courage.
Are you wanting to move ahead at work with new capabilities and energy?
Are you ready to develop the new skills & capabilities you’ll need as you rise in your career?
And: are you ready to improve your relationships at home – with your wife, your kids, friends and others in your community?
If so, and you’re ready to invest time and resources, you’re a good candidate for coaching.
What is the investment for coaching?
Coaching requires an investment – of both time and money.
As you grow in your career, you’ll need to deliver more value to your employer and clients.
I have sold and delivered millions in professional services, and I received sales training, mentoring, coaching and experience to support this.
As you grow in your relationships, especially with your spouse, the stakes get ever higher.
Making changes in your marital and family relationships takes time and energy, but it delivers tremendous benefits.
The return on an investment in coaching is seen through new engagement opportunities, goals achieved, and bonuses earned – and relationships renewed, friendships gained and family life strengthened.
What kind of results have other clients achieved through your coaching?
As a professional coach since 2006 and an experienced professional advisor for 35+ years, I’ve helped clients in all walks of life achieve their goals.
Clients tell me that I give them more to think about in their situations, that I bring creative ideas and language to difficult work and home situations, and that I help them be present and channel their thoughts in more positive directions.
Clients appreciate that I speak their language and create high-value solutions to their issues.
I’ve coached and advised men going through challenging times for decades, and I help them become the better men they know they can be.
I can do the same for you.
What steps should I take to start coaching with you?
The best next step is a free no-obligation introductory coaching call, where we’ll discuss your situation, expectations, structure, fees and schedule.
Here for you.
I know how lonely men can feel when dealing with their wives, children, friends, family and all the rest, and I want to help men feel less lonely, more empowered and better able to make the right decisions for themselves and their families.
My strongest wish is for other men to find this same level of peace and love in their own homes, to feel less lonely and isolated, and to be able to navigate the complex forces around them.
