Are you a future-oriented, multi-passionate big-thinker?
Let’s take you from indecision, overwhelm, and stuckness
substantial impact, clear purpose, and stimulating connection.
Iâve coached hundreds of people to transform their livesâfrom Fortune 500 leaders, to data scientists, to a Mount Everest record holder, to people who had no idea what they wanted to do with their lives.Â
My specialty is ENTP & INTP personality types, and I work with a lot of INFJ's, INTJ's, ENFJ's, and ENFP's too.
People who have awesome ideas but don't end up following through (or staying focused) on them.
People who have so much potential but struggle to make the impact they want to be making on the worldâleaving them feeling jaded, overwhelmed, or frustrated.

I work with leaders at companies like:



Plus, employees and entrepreneurs from 6 continentsâin industries as diverse as crypto, government, education, tech startup, health & wellness, and beyond.
My client list includes executives & founders, product managers, teachers, doctors, consultants, artists, coaches, grad school students, data analysts, a librarian, a zookeeper, and more.
I’ve helped millions start changing their lives.
Personality typing is just the beginning (we can even skip it if it's not right for you).
Nearly a million people a yearâfrom nearly every countryâtake my test (often referred to as "the Michael Caloz test") to find their personality type.Â
Thatâs a huge step toward better understanding what you need to feel energized and motivated.
But you're a complex human, and your type is just one part of your story.
For a personal growth path to be truly effective, it must be customized. Thatâs why Iâve studied a variety of coaching modalitiesâbecause everyone's different, and I don't want to give you cookie-cutter solutions.


Business + Mindfulness. Thinking + Feeling.
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, 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.
The trick to real growth is not just knowing answers in your mind. It's deeply experiencing the truth of themâfeeling it in your body.
You're not just one thing. You're a complex combination of systems.
To unlock your full potential, you need to become a Full-Stack Human.
I offer an uncommon blend of coaching, counseling, & mentoring.
Unlike many life coaches or executive coaches, I also have three years of comprehensive training in psychological counseling.
Plus, I can offer mentorship (i.e., specific advice based on my own journey) in areas like:
- Succeeding in the world of tech (Agile, product management, UX, game design);
- Promoting DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) and being a more confident, resilient, effective ally (especially as a straight white guy);
- Dealing with the nihilism of atheism and finding meaning & motivation in life;
- Learning how to make friends as an adult, deepen your connections, and improve your marriage/relationships (including ethically non-monogamous ones);
- Going from overthinking to confident decision-making, and from endless unfocused interests to finding your dream career & designing your life purpose.
To help overcome your most frustrating challenges, I'll pull in the right technique at the right time:

The world's most-respected modality for executive & life coaching, used by the leaders of over half the Fortune 500. Through Co-Active, we’ll explore you as a whole person (both home & work life)—with curiosity rather than judgment.

This changed my life. Hakomi is a somatic counseling practice integrating Western psychotherapy, Eastern mindfulness, 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.


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.
I weave in a variety of other modalities as well, including:
- Brené Brown’s Brave Leaders framework
- Agile / Lean
- R-CS Re-Creation of the Self
- Nonviolent-communication (NVC)
- Meditation & mindfulness techniques from Buddhism (particularly SĹtĹ Zen and Theravadan Vipassana)
Clients are often pleasantly surprised when I tie together ideas from multiple systems and modalities for them.
(For example, someone might appear to be, say, an INTP. But, our Hakomi & Enneagram work might reveal a deeper truth underneath. Perhaps part of their core Feeler self has been covered up by years of trying to live up to their ENTJ parent's or society's priorities, which celebrate Thinker types and decisiveness. Then, we can work to surface that deeper self by using techniques from, say, Positive Intelligence & R-CS).
