My clients include leaders & team members at...





Are you a future-oriented, multi-passionate big-thinker?
Letâs take you from indecision, overwhelm, and stuckness
substantial impact, clear purpose, and stimulating connection.
Iâve coached hundreds of people to transform their lives (across six continents):
- Fortune 500 leaders
- Entrepreneurs & founders
- Influencers with millions of followers
- Students
- People who felt totally stuck or unclear
I specialize in 'N' personality typesâespecially fellow ENTPs, INTPs, INTJs, INFJs, and ENFPs.
In fact, on Google, I'm lucky enough to be the #1 top-ranked coach for each of those types.
(Find your type here.)
I work with people who have so many awesome ideas, but have trouble following through (or staying focused).
People who have so much potential, but struggle to make their impact on the world (leaving them feeling jaded, overwhelmed, or frustrated).


Would you like world-class coaching?
(And I feel proud of that since I don't do any advertising or intentional SEO optimization, so my high rank is because a lot of people link to me and share my work.)
Leaders and team members at top companies have sought my expertise:





Iâve helped millions start changing their lives. Are you ready to take the next step on your journey?
Interested in world-class coaching customized for your type of mind?
Whether you're into perosnality typing or not, your type is just one part of your story. You're a complex human with many parts and many identities.
For a personal growth path to be truly effective, it must be customized.
Thatâs why Iâve studied a variety of coaching and counseling modalitiesâbecause everyone's different, and I don't want to give you cookie-cutter solutions (e.g., the same "8-week transformation program" for everyone).

Real transformations from 'N'-type professionals
Like you, these are driven, growth-oriented people who wanted more than just surface-level coaching.
âI donât second-guess myself anymore...â
From an INTP Tech Entrepreneur: âI love the feeling of calm I experience now. I donât second-guess myself anymore. I realize so clearly that I was irrationally confident before I started working with Michael, and I now feel a deeper sense of confidence thatâs more open-minded and curious. I think a good video game analogy for how Iâve progressed is that I feel like Iâm playing my life in first-person point-of-view mode now vs. third person.â
âIâm usually really hard to convince of things...â
From an ENTP Digital Marketing Manager: âI was very impressed by the way you took all those complex topics I threw at you and quickly offered me some valuable unexpected advice. Iâve never tried coaching before, and this wasnât any kind of weird pitch. Iâm usually really hard to convince of things, but Iâm very curious to keep coaching with you.â
âMy reality has completely changed...â
From an ENFJ Medical School Student:
âI knew within 30 seconds of our first call that Michael was someone I wanted by my side. He could finally see me as I truly wasâand that helped me fully see myself... My reality has completely changed, and I feel so much more able to meet lifeâs challenges.â
âYou actually challenge me...â
From an INTJ Director of a Non-Profit: âAll the other counselors Iâve worked with have just kept validating my feelings and opinions and telling me Iâm right. But youâre different: You actually challenge me. You help me consider what I might be missing. Thanks so much for your compassion. You always deliver fantastic resources, and I can tell that you really care.â
I offer Transformation Coaching & Existential Counseling
In our coaching, we'll go beyond merely improving your productivity, time management, work effectiveness, etc.
I want to help you change the way you fundamentally see yourself and the world around youâso that you can feel more aligned with purpose, intentionality, and powerful motivation.
Unlike many life coaches or executive coaches, I also have three years of comprehensive training in psychological counseling.
That means I'm not afraid to go as deep as it takes to help you transform your moment-to-moment experience of being alive.
I know what it's like to have a "successful" life but feel anxious, depressed, or empty inside
I used to dread Sunday evenings.
Each time, it would hit me like a slap to the face: I'd failed yet again to find lasting happiness/fulfillment/purpose, and I'd have to push through another week of the same.
Would it ever change?
Yes.
Absolutely yes, but it didn't happen overnight.
Nowadays, I'm excited virtually every day to get out of bed in the morning.
I feel fully aligned with my purpose, and I often find myself overflowing with gratitude and joy at just how amazing my life feels.
Iâve reached my deepest goal:
Leading a life full of freedom, flexibility, and doing what I love (and what I consider to be most meaningful). Even if I won the lottery, Iâd keep doing what I do.
It's not easy to transform that dramatically, but you only have this one precious life to live.
So, I'd love to help you make the most out of it.
Change is possible.

Thinking + Feeling. Productivity + Mindfulness. Full-Stack Human.
I'm a highly rational Thinker-type (and a skeptic at heart) who studied computer science and worked in management consulting.
But I also lived in Japan, deeply studied Buddhism, intentionally explored many forms of altered states, and actively pursued existential awakening for over a decade.
Thanks to that blended life experience, my style is a unique mix of East & Westâanalytical, research-backed psychology, and somatic, feelings-oriented mindfulness.
Real growth isn't just about knowing answers in your mind (you probably already know what you're "supposed" to do). The trick is to deeply experience the truth of those answersâto feel it in your body.
You're not just one thing (i.e., an analytical mind). You're a complex combination of systems.
To unlock your full potential, you need to become Full-Stack Human.
To help overcome your most frustrating challenges, I'll pull in the right technique at the right time. My favorites include:
The world's most-respected modality for executive & life coaching, used by the leaders of over half the Fortune 500. Through Co-Active, weâll explore you as a whole person (both home & work life)âwith curiosity rather than judgment. Learn more here.
This changed my life. Hakomi is a somatic psychotherapy modality integrating Eastern mindfulness, systems thinking, parts work (similar to IFS), and cutting-edge neurobiology. Itâs like looking at the underlying structure of your mind (and entire nervous system) with a magnifying glassâto understand how you work at a deep level. Learn more here.
Based on rigorous scientific research conducted at Stanford on hundreds of CEO's and elite athletes, Positive Intelligence builds the muscle of mental fitnessâto improve performance, emotional wellbeing, and reduce feelings like overwhelm and frustration. Learn more here.
You've heard about meditation as a tool for improving focus, decreasing stress, and improving mental clarity. That's all true. But, after 14 years of meditation practice, I can say that the benefits are far more profound than that. Meditation retrains your brain, increasing the space between stimulus and response and dramatically increasing your awareness and self-control in every aspect of life. Learn more here.
